Samsung has updated its Galaxy J7 with the new Galaxy J7 (2016). In the very highly competitive market, let’s see where this phone stands and if it is worth buying. Starting with the design, the Galaxy J7 (2016) features metallic sides but on the back there is textured plastic. It looks good but not the best and it feels decent to hold but doesn’t feel premium. It sports a 5.5 inches Super AMOLED HD display, it is decent but at this price today, a Full HD screen is a must. The phone runs on Samsung’s own 1.6 GHz Exynos 7870 (S5E7870) Octa Core Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM, it delivers very good lag free performance for everyday usage and can handle gaming also. In the camera department, the Galaxy J7 (2016) packs a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera, both with f/1.9 aperture. The phone includes a LED flash for both the rear and the selfie camera. Talking about the picture quality, the cameras click decent images but we had expected better. The phone runs on Android v6.0 Marshmallow based company’s own TouchWiz UI which looks dull and boring although, Samsung has added theme support but currently it includes only few themes. Samsung is aggressively marketing the ‘S Bike Mode’ for the new J series, well it is a very good and useful feature and works exactly like it is expected, it can be a very helpful tool for frequent riders. Sadly, the phone doesn’t include a fingerprint scanner, which is the trend in even under 10k phones these days. It is a dual sim phone with 4G support and packs 16 GB of internal storage which is expandable upto 128 GB via a dedicated microSD slot. The pone packs a Removable Li-Ion 3300 mAh battery which gives a good battery backup. It weighs around 170 grams and feels heavy. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016), in the current scenario feels a much overpriced phone and it will feel the same even if it is priced at Rs. 10,000. It’s not like that it is a bad phone and those who specifically want the brand name of Samsung for its reliability and are ready to pay a higher price can go with it. Those looking for a little smaller phone can go with the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) at Rs. 13,990.
