Archive.org versionIn conclusion, what makes the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime feel like a superior smartphone is mainly its design, mainly the simple fingerprint scanner that is implanted on its home button.

Archive.org versionObviously, the J7 Prime is a better version than the J7 (2016), it has a great metal design look giving that premium feel. The fingerprint sensor is good with more storage space than ever. Coupled with occasionally useful features like the Outdoor mode (still no Auto Brightness function, though), Ultra Data Saving mode, Ultra Power Saving mode, and S Bike mode, while the picture quality improvement is an added bonus as well.

Archive.org versionThere are much better offerings in this price category in terms of raw performance, camera quality and design. The Exynos 7870 offers performance numbers in the same range as a Snapdragon 650 / 652 or thereabouts. But now, you get Snapdragon 820 sporting smartphones in the Rs 20k price range. As an alternative to the Galaxy J7 Prime, you could at the Lenovo Z2 Plus which comes for Rs 19,999. If you can extend your budget, you can get the Xiaomi Mi 5 as well. If you are keen on the Galaxy J7 Prime, then I would suggest waiting till it gets a price drop closer to the Rs 15,000 range.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is priced at Php 13,990 and the competition is rather stacked at that price point. The question we always ask in our verdict is: “Should you include this device on your short list of phones to consider for your next purchase?” The answer: Definitely. It may have its flaws, but our experience with the J7 Prime has generally been a pleasant one and its a gorgeous looking phone too.

Archive.org versionWhile meaningful innovations still form the backbone of Samsung's new J-series phone, the Galaxy J7 Prime is a different breed altogether. It is more premium and comes with a heftier spec-sheet. And it costs more. The Galaxy J7 Prime will cost buyers Rs 18,790. But it isn't just a paper tiger. It's quite good at what it does actually. While design is subjective, a little bit of premium is always a plus to have and grab. The phone has a credible screen and capable performance. There's very little overheating and battery life is fantastic. Of course, the cameras could have been better (especially in low light) and the software could have been lighter. But, there will always be a 'what if' with any smartphone. The J7 Prime, like most smartphones, isn't perfect. But it does the job, and it does the job quite well.

Archive.org versionThe Exynos 7870 processor isn’t a performance-driven chipset, evidenced by its respectable AnTuTu score. However, the phone performed well during our brief time with it, with the phone exhibiting zero lag during navigation and general use. Gaming on the J7 Prime is acceptable – it’s not the best but it’s not the worst we’ve seen either.

Archive.org versionThe Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 18,790 and is now available at various retail stores. It has a lot of features such as a metal body, large 3300mAh battery, S Power Planning, and superb screen. S Power Planning and Secure Folder are both neat value additions in software. Despite featuring a large 5.5-inch screen, the J7 Prime is easy to manage. At this price point, the phone is pleasure to use.

Archive.org versiont Rs 18,700, it is still tough to recommend this device over competition like ASUS Zenfone 3 (priced Rs 21,999) or even offerings like Redmi Note 3 or Le 2 which are priced almost 6-7k cheaper than J7 Prime. But if you are in the market for a Samsung phone for less than 20k, then J7 prime makes sense.

70.88%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
