Samsung Galaxy J7
Key specs
Critic consensus
“With the Galaxy J7 (2016), Samsung has overhauled its mid-range 5.5-inch smartphone in a subtle, but effective way. One highlight of the 2016 edition is the metal case, which provides the smartphone with higher-quality haptics and more sturdiness when compared to its predecessor. The performance has also been taken up a notch by switching from the octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC to the Samsung Exynos 7870 Octa and upgrading the RAM from 1.5 to 2 GB. Another plus point: The new edition comes with the more current Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS instead of Android 5.1.”
“The Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) is just an average smartphone. Even though Samsung has improved the performance and battery life compared to its predecessor, the phone has the same 720p display, while most phones in the price range feature a 1080p screen. The camera has also not been improved compared to the predecessor.”
“The phone — which Boost Mobile is selling for $229 — is attractive, well-made, and functional as a piece of hardware. Many will appreciate the large screen and removable battery/memory. More importantly, the J7 delivers excellent battery life, above average call and data performance, and very good Bluetooth/GPS. These are clutch strengths.”
“The Samsung Galaxy J7 is a disappointing device, but with really great battery life. That said, it still can't beat its competitors, in any department. Its not a good phone to buy.”

How it compares
New phones, honest scores.
One email when something worth knowing changes. No deal spam, no filler.
Signal is on and off. Restart but signal gone shortly thereafter. Not covering up antena. Two towers within av. 14 mi.
When downloading app. Loose signal before complete. Really sucks.
