This special feature allows only certain part of the display to light up to show messages, time and reminders, while the rest of the screen remains dark.
Processor, RAM & storage:
Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro is the first device to boast advanced 14nm (nano-meter) architecture-based FinFET technology class 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 octa-core (Cortex A53 x 8) CPU, which is said to 10 percent more efficient than 625 series found in rival brands.

To enhance the selfie photography experience, Samsung has incorporated Beautification app with a plethora of photo editing options.
Battery:
The Galaxy C7 Pro comes with 3,300mAh battery, which is enough to keep the phone running for the whole day under mixed usage.
With the use of power-efficient AMOLED display and 14nm class Snapdragon 626 octa-core processor, Galaxy C7 Pro can be assured of getting additional battery life.
And also, it comes with fast charging technology, as well.
Value-added features:
Besides the fingerprint sensor, it comes with India region-specific value-added features such as S Bike, Ultra Data saving and S Power modes.
Once S Bike mode is turned on in the smartphone, it automatically gets activated when the user starts to ride a two-wheeler. If someone calls the Galaxy C7 Pro owner, they will get an automatic reply saying the device user is on the road, and may be reachable later.
