Samsung Galaxy J7 review: Jeans & jacket

18 September, 2015
The smartphone jungle can be confusing, but the Samsung Galaxy J7 is surprisingly easy to decipher: J for "affordable price" and 7 for "big screen". This is the lite version of the Galaxy A7, offering semi-premium features but confined to the midrange. Another way to look at it is as an E7 Plus.

hi gsmarena,
does your battery life for video playback time of 16hour 22minutes is to run down the battery from 100% to 10% or it is for fully deplete the battery.
(if it is for 100 to 10%, for fully deplete playback time will be around 18 hour 50 minutes ))
please reply me.
thank you. then

            In j5 and j7 light in front panel touch senses are not working which looks weird. Why. In every samsung phone it works but nit in this j series which by default is not.

              Front camera is not only for selfie. It's also useful for video call like Skype.

                    Looks like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 benchmarks are in. And now, all I need is a review.

                        I can see highlight clipping in the Selfie Camera. Not impressive at all.

                        I think Samsung could've gone for a 3 MP Selfie camera with the same sensor, so that the extra pixel size will allow more dynamic range, high ISO and lower shutter speeds.

                        Think about it: Where do Selfies go? And do they need 5 MP??
                        The only places I can think of is, social networking sites, email, printing, etc. And all purposes can be done with 3 MP.
