If you put the 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy J7 and Galaxy J7 (2016) smartphones next to each other, it is very easy to confuse them, since they both have the same case design. The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) is of course also part of the comparison. In our review, the Galaxy J7 (2016) will compete with similarly priced and specced rivals: Included are the Honor 5X, the Huawei P9 Lite and the Sony Xperia XA. Is the Galaxy J7 (2016) worth the higher price? Let us find out. However, the battery is slightly smaller (3100 mAh) and the SoC ( Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916) is slower - this results in a saving of about 50 Euros (~$53) compared to the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016). The control center is no longer Android 5.1, but Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.Īn alternative to the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) is the 5.2-inch Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016): It uses the same camera modules, also has a Super AMOLED display with HD resolution, and the same metal and plastic chassis. The battery has also got a small upgrade, with the capacity rising to 3300 mAh. Instead of the octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC with structures of 28 nm, the 2016 Galaxy J7 uses Samsung's own and more powerful Exynos 7870 Octa (structures of 14 nm) and comes with 2 instead of 1.5 GB of RAM. Overall, Samsung has gone easy on the upgrade and by not completely reinventing the Galaxy J7, except for the internals. The manufacturer has not changed the underlying direction: Like its predecessor, officially priced at 260 Euros (~$277), the more or less equally priced Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) aims to appeal to selfie enthusiasts in particular, with its 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera. In order to avoid confusion with the predecessor, the 2016 version has the year in its name, just like the new edition of its sister model, the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016).
Samsung has overhauled its mid-range smartphone, the Galaxy J7, which was only released in 2015. For the original German review, see here.
