    J7 2016 , J7 Prime , On7 2016 , On8..

    They all basically same, with mixed up hardware components which makes sure that none of the phone is perfect and lacks some thing which the other has.. If Samsung had created a device combining the features of all these models and price it around $ 300, it will be instant hit and will fly off from the shelves..

    Sighh.. When will Samsung understand that a complete device with more volumes is better than a lot models with less sales..

          Hope the notification LED, finger print sensor is there and the s power planning along with gorilla glass 4
          Would have appreciated an HD resolution screen instead of the full HD resolution

            J7 first version had Exynos 7580, then J7 2016 version came with much refined and better exynos 7870 version, and this on8 is again exynos 7580 but had a benefit of being FHD. So it depends on user to choose from.. either better performance or better screen. I had used J7 2015 version with exynos 7580, and performance is quite satisfactory for me. Hope 7870 will be much more better than the sibling's version. Anyways choice depends on individual.
            Techies pls put ur expert comment on other GPU, Mali component or other hardware part..

              Anonymous, 27 Sep 2016Go for ASUS Zenfone 3 Better Processor Snapdragon 625 (L... moreVivo v3 max best around 18k

                It's strange. On7 (2016) has SD625 and this one has Exynos 7870. Since both chispets are equally efficient but SD625 has the upper hand, performance-wise, then why On8 has less specs than On7 (2016)? Not that I'm interested, but this may bother some users, because the presumed pricing is similar between both devices.

                    When I see such phones coming in market I only think that why one plus x2 is not there? A 200$ phone from one plus should be there.

                      Just wondering, is that port "USB C" -Brilliant if it is!!

                                And the processor is going to be Exynos 7580, not 7870 like J7 Prime with weaker GPU Mali-T720 MP2, bummer

                                  username8, 27 Sep 2016I dont think there will be a fingerprint scanner for 16K, S... moreYeah.... pretty much a useless phone... since that processor is totally inadequate for 1080p screen.

                                    Here is the spec sheet- http://i.imgur.com/wmArscw.png Looks like magnetometer, compass & gyroscope are missing again like J7 Prime Dont think Fingerprint scanner is there but looks like NFC is going to be present.

                                      Then what's the difference between Samsung J7 & ON8...both are pretty much identical...available at the same price...!
