“Thin waistline, but a good battery life and a toned-down multi-window TouchWiz on a colorful SuperAMOLED screen make the Samsung Galaxy E7 a strong proposition in the jam-packed midrange. It's not without its flaws and raw performance is on top of that list, so as always you should get your priorities straight before heading to the store.”

If 2/3 program opened at time caused hang the phone. If hanged then no other way without knocking the service center which is ridiculous. No way to open the back cover.

all over the phone is good . built quality is awesome. but still don't have the gorilla glass and the sound quality is very poor, some low quality phone may have the better sound, not expected from Samsung.

In Depth

Samsung adds yet another mid-range device to its lineup with the Galaxy E7. With a plastic unibody, rounded edges and metal band, the Galaxy E7 doesn’t stray too far from the standard Samsung design. The soft, matte back gave critics a relatively good grip on the otherwise smooth phone. At 139 grams, it is relatively lightweight and measures 5.9 x 3 x 0.3 inches.

The Galaxy E7 sports a 5.5-inch, 720p Super AMOLED display. As expected of an AMOLED screen, experts note the excellent color reproduction, deep blacks, good viewing angles and overall vibrancy of the display. While its pixel density of 267ppi cannot compare to flagship phones, it was still sharp enough for most reviewers. They also add that touch was very smooth and responsive, making for a pleasant experience overall.

Equipped with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, it is no surprise that critics reported a smooth and lag free experience during basic tasks and when playing high end games. It also comes equipped with 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded thanks to the addition of a microSD slot, a 13MP rear camera that takes 1080p videos and a 5MP fixed focus front camera. Unfortunately, it only comes with 3G connectivity and is also missing a light sensor so you will need to adjust screen brightness manually. Powering the phone is the 2,950mAh battery which lasted experts 6 hours of continuous heavy usage.

While not a bad phone, reviewers have a difficult time recommending the Galaxy E7 due to its price point. Android Advice states, “The Samsung Galaxy E7 is a decent phone overall…But…users have better options.”

Hi moewathan. I suggest that you install apps like Easy OTG Checker (link) to know if your phone supports OTG. If it does, then simply plug in a USB OTG drive to your phone and open file manager app to access content.

If you have tried turning it on and off and display still won't show up I'm afraid it may be broken. Please bring your phone to a service center and have it checked.

Hi Ye Ye. I'm late for the question but in case this happens again, if you press and hold power button long enough, it should turn off. Worst case would be to wait for your phone to run out of battery.

Hi Nathan. Try freeing up phone storage also uninstall some apps that keeps running on the background then restart the phone after. Also try removing the SD card and observe if performance improves.

Hi Aditya. Have you tried using the microSD card with other phones? It's either the microSD card is broken or your phone's microSD reader is broken.

Hi robertlimbu. Do you notice any bumps at the back of your phone? I experienced this before, what caused it is a bad battery.
