Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro-design and display:
Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro comes with a metal-based unibody design language, a first for Galaxy J series. When held in hand, it exudes a premium feel and its exterior looks, too, are visually appealing. It comes in gold and black colour options.
It features a neatly drawn white antenna lines on both the top and the bottom and also houses vertically placed primary camera with LED flash below.
As far as the display is concerned, it features 5.5-inch full HD (1920x1080p) display made of power efficient Super AMOLED screen. It also features AlwaysOn display feature, where users need not have to repeatedly press the power button to see notification or time. They need to just pick up the phone, the screen wakes up automatically and displays the information.
Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro-Processor, RAM, and Storage:
Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro comes with Octa-core (type not specified), which can clock up to 1.6GHz. It is backed by sumptuous 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. During our brief time with the device, it showed no signs of lag while switching between the apps.
Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro-Camera:
Besides the build quality, camera hardware is the other highlight feature of the Galaxy J7 Pro. It boasts a 13MP front camera with an f1.9 lens and on the back, it houses similar 13MP camera but improved f1.7 lens, and flash, which until now, were exclusive to top-end Galaxy A series. With such hardware, Galaxy J7 Pro took some good quality pictures during the demo after the launch.
Samsung, in a bid to make the Galaxy J7 Pro stand out among rivals, has introduced a new feature dubbed as 'Social camera'. Basically, it saves time for users to post good quality photos directly on social media apps. It also offers instant editing, live filters, and stickers. Users can also pin their favourite contacts and social media within the camera and share their moments as they click. It also boasts instant discovery feature that offers augmented reality camera to help users to discover their surroundings for popular photography spots, restaurants and shopping areas.
Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro-Battery:
It houses a 3,600mAh battery and with a power efficient Super AMOLED screen, the Galaxy J7 Pro users can be assured of getting a battery that lasts a full day.
This is not the final verdict as there are other parameters on which we need to test the phone.
Once we get the unit, we will write a complete review on the Galaxy J7 Pro.
