The processor for J6+ is Snapdragon 425 1.4GHz quad core. Do you know this processor is from which year?
The Exynos 7885 in A7 (2018) is using an outdated GPU from June 2016 and it is an entry level GPU. You can go to ask Google if you do not believe. Maybe you will say that you don't play games on the phone but as I know both CPU and GPU have to work together in order to get the smoother user experience.
Start from this year SAMSUNG is going to use the outdated IPS display in most of their M-series and A-series instead of the Super AMOLED.

Anurag, 13 Jan 2019Does anyone hear noise from camera area when you put your p... moreOk, I understand that many people really doesn`t have all that much time or desire to read but we just discussed this only 2 pages ago...
Look at page 3, or here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/help/rattling-noise-camera-t3888006
Or if you like tldr; - the noise is probably from the gyro-optical mechanism.
Still in the thread from the link there are one man saying that he have strange rattling noise even when the volume is high, but none of us have that. So that is whole another case and probably fall well under warranty.

Explorer, 12 Jan 2019That is the way it has always been, isn`t it. :D
I bought ... morePreviously I was using SAMSUNG low end and some midrange phones without screen protector because that time SAMSUNG did not give free screen protector and I needed to pay extra for it.
From 8GB ROM + 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM + 1.5GB RAM until 64GB ROM + 4GB RAM, but SAMSUNG still give a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 quad core processor, 6 inch HD+ display and a small 3,300mAh battery in the phone and sell it with 250 Dollar.
With a cheaper price of USD225, HUAWEI already give an octa core processor, 6.5 inch FHD+ display and 4,000mAh battery to the phone.
That is why I make the decision to buy HUAWEI instead of SAMSUNG.

Chee Khuan, 12 Jan 2019Another real fact that SAMSUNG is selling their phones over... moreThat is the way it has always been, isn`t it. :D
I bought mine because I wanted phone with gorilla glass under 300 US $ and it had to be better than my old HTC One E9plus .
I have very problematic skin on my hands, it`s extremely dry to the point my fingers can`t be detected by phones with screen protectors even at maximum sensitivity. Doesn`t matter how quality the protectors are. Gorilla glass is my only way to fight this.
I have already wrote about why I don`t like chinese brands. So this model was my only available choice at that time.
So despite always using HTC phones I bought this A7 with mixed feelings.
Yeah, the camera is bad but still bearable.
When I was on hunt for reviews there was one with full sized uncompressed originals making comparisons between the picture quality from Mate 20 lite camera and A7. I was in awe how bad was A7, especially at night shots.
The difference is so great that at first I actually was convinced that the pictures form A7 were faked. They wasn`t...
But yeah, if you look at them on the phone they look nice enough with good color reproduction (for the most time). On my PC screen they also looks good if I don`t scale them over 1920x pixels. At 100% view... it`s a sh*t show.
So buyers be aware, if you want really good camera, if your work require good photographs at 100% resolution don`t buy A7. I really mean it.
For more info and pictures you can read here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/review/photo-quality-t3844991 there I have posted link to my google drive folder with many pictures directly from my phone. Tomorrow I`ll upload about 100 new photos for better view at the camera quality.
You wander why I didn`t mention the video capabilities? Nothing special there.
Crazy good battery life, perfect phone calls voice quality, awesome screen working perfectly with my bad skin, it rings loud enough to be heard from two closed rooms away, fast opening and switching apps, no lags.
There is no heating problems, works normally in humid (65%) subzero temperatures (-8*Celsius) and so on.
Overall I`m happy with it. :)

kamel alg, 12 Jan 2019Someone can tell me if this phone support fast charging? Be... moreThere is no quick charge.
I have read few comments from people in other forums and such stating that their phones can actually charge faster with charger supporting 2A@5V.
So I tried.
I have many chargers, between them is this one - BlitzWolf® BW-S2 4.8A 24W Dual USB Charger but the phone just doesn`t use all of the current I can supply it with.
I have also tried with the charger and cable from Samsung S8. The phone is using 1.58A@5.36V at max.
--------------------------------------------quote from quora-----------------------------------------
"Fast charging/Quick charging/Turbo Charging are one & the same thing. Except brand marketing, its same stuff. It was first brought to market as Qualcomm Quick Charge. ... In quick charge, charging occurs at 9 to 12 volts at 2 to 1.5 amps, depending upon the handsets."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you look deep into system info menu there is a row stating "Rated for DC 5V; 1.55A".
The phone never get over 5.4V, let alone 9 volts or more. so...

Someone can tell me if this phone support fast charging? Because I heard that it support fast charging regardless the charger included in the box isn't a fast charger, please I want to know because I have an old fast charger of my A5 2016 and I would use it if the A7 really support fast charging. Anyone have tested this phone with a fast charger other than the slower included in the box?

launch price 24K... moreGuess how much was the launch price here - 30290 in your money... :D
I got it for 20620 (or 293 US $/ 255 EUR)and for the plan with it was still a good deal. https://i.imgur.com/I9FYIPE.jpg
The funny thing is that this price is still about the lowest you can get it here without any mobile plan.
