It has better screen, more RAM, more storage, fingerprint scanner and better premium build. Only downside is that CPU is the same as the one in J7 2016, so if you are a gamer you will totally feel that, since it needs to push higher resolution, and there is no removable back in J7 Pro if you care about that. But yeah, in like every aspect J7 Pro is better.

We're yet to see how well J7 16 runs Oreo, if it runs as well as it does now, on Nougat (if and when Oreo makes its way to this phone). It's CPU is very capable, we all know that, it's good enough. But processor and RAM go hand in hand when it comes to overall speed and performance of a device. It's got only 2 gigs of RAM, which isn't horrible, but definitely not as good since most of the smartphones we see today have a minimum of 3 GB of RAM, which is a norm these days.

It's still good though (or very good), but just not as good as it was prior to Nougat update. Mine could easily last a day and a half on a single charge, even though I am a heavy user. On moderate use, it could easily last two days.
              It was heavenly! It really was.

As for text messages, go into settings - Cloud and accounts - Backup and Restore - Backup settings - Now you can choose what you would like to back up.
                Make sure your toggle off Apps, music, home screen, & documents, if text messages are all that you want to back up.

                  Do factory reset after upgrading ur phone to Nougat will make it run smoothly. But for me the only thing that I dont like after upgrading to Nougat is the battery life feel so less. It eating ur battery life much faster than before.

                            Just a suggestion - Don't forget to factory reset your phone once Nougat is installed, if you can. It does help the phone run a lot smoother. Even if you can't, you should be fine. But as I said, factory resetting it once does help it run a lot better. And don't forget to back up all your data prior.
                            I didn't factory reset my phone after I updated it to Nougat. I must say Nougat was running ok on it, but still I had a few minor issues (issues nonetheless). One day I decided to factory reset it, and the difference was clear. I'm sure it'll fix most of the issues that you're facing.

                                      Nerve happened to me on marshmallow. But it does happen now. It's annoying, yeah. I factory reset my phone couple of days ago, and gallery app doesn't feel laggy anymore. It's completely smooth now. But I'm pretty sure the problem will reoccur in a couple of weeks, or maybe three.
                                      (I must add that it was not completely laggy. It just stutters. It's perfectly usable. And I can live with a little bit of stutter. But still, as I said earlier, it feels slightly annoying)
