Expensive entry. Samsung launches a 2016 update of its entry-level device Galaxy J1, but the price was increased. Samsung is once again not very generous in terms of features. Can the smartphone justify the additional price, or should you have a look at the rivals?

Quite obviously, you’re not going to get an awesome cameraphone or great sounding audio but the Galaxy J1 (2016) does well in updating or refreshing the series. We only hope that the next iteration will focus a bit more on the energy efficiency, as most entry-level smartphones are known for having longer battery life. That being said, it does offer one of the lowest priced “memberships” into the Samsung Galaxy Life “club” but because of the above we probably would not recommend this as a secondary standby phone, unless you keep it turned off until needed of course.

We were pretty impressed by the Super AMOLED display and its modes, despite the relatively low resolution. Furthermore, the low exterior temperatures after the stress test left us really delighted. What actually amazed us was the battery. At first sight, it may seem small with its 2050 mAh but it did great in all of our tests. The main 5MP camera is also decent, especially in terms of macro capability and the feature-rich menu. In other words, if you’re after an affordable and good smartphone, you may want to consider Galaxy J1 (2016).

Dynamic Duos? Samsung offers an affordable 5-inch smartphone with its Galaxy J3. It still relies on traditional virtues, such as an integrated micro-SD slot and removable battery. But is that enough to survive in the highly competitive low-cost sector?

Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is a budget-friendly smartphone with good hardware specification and decent build quality. It is especially suitable for users who require an affordable smartphone with big screen and decent performance. The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is an improved version of Samsung Galaxy J7 2016. The main upgrades over the J7 2016 are a higher RAM capacity of 3 GB and a fingerprint sensor located under its home button. Equipped with a Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7870 chipset, 3 GB of RAM and a Mali-T830 MP2 GPU, it is truly comes with high performing hardware specification. It has 16 GB internal storage, which can be insufficient for users who install many apps or capture many photos. However, smartphone's dedicated microSD card slot allows users to upgrade storage to up to 256 GB. As for the display, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime features a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. It has a screen-to-body ratio of around 73.3% and a pixel density of approximately 401 ppi. To protect against cracks and scratches, it is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass v4 which protects it from scratches. The body of the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is a full metal clad body in either black or gold color. The antenna lines run on the bottom and top part of the phone just like on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. It measures at 151.7 x 75 x 8 mm (5.97 x 2.95 x 0.31 in) and weighs at 167 g (5.89 oz). Its non-removable Li-Ion 3300 mAh battery is capable of delivering up to 21 hours of talktime on 3G network and up to 84 hours of music play. The Android v6.0.1 Marshmallow system comes with the Samsung Notes app, which was only available on Galaxy Note series devices previously.

Additional features of the primary camera include geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, panorama and HDR mode for low light captures.

Dual SIM support provides convenience to users who often use networks of different countries, which is ideal for people who travel frequently. In addition, the phone features a microUSB v2.0 port supporting USB On-The-Go and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Besides a fingerprint sensor, it features an accelerometer and a proximity sensor. All specs considered, the Galaxy J7 Prime is a good mid-range smartphone, but for its price, it doesn’t offer enough in view of the fact that there are many cheap and good smartphones out there.

In 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.

Obviously, 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.

There 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.

The 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.

While 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.

The 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.

The 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.

t 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.

A smartphone is more handy and has obvious advantages over a tablet, but there are times when you might need a bigger screen to browse. You will get that on Samsung Galaxy J max, with a most simple Samsung design, software and solid build on a not-so-big form factor. But with a very basic display and a more basic hardware sneaked underneath, it would fail to entice a usual tablet user that needs both speed and a terrific display to look forward to. It is easily the tablet you can give a miss, except if you terribly need 4G capability with 2 SIM cards, and with that, the ability to expand your teeny-weeny internal storage, which would make Samsung J Max a little expensive but a perfectly apt choice.

The Galaxy J5 Prime is a nice addition to Samsung’s J series thanks to its premium build, attractive design, vibrant display, capable camera, and LTE connectivity. However, the price tag seems too much for what it can offer especially if you compare it to other smartphones in this budget. At Php9,990, it’s going to have a hard time competing with other devices in the price range like the Vivo V5 Lite, ASUS Zenfone 3 Max, OPPO A39, and the Huawei GR3 (2017). To conclude, the J5 Prime decent phone, it’s just not priced competitively.

If you’ve been on the hunt for a mid-ranged smartphone at around the Php 8k to Php 12k price point then you know how stacked the competition is. You’ve got really good options with Huawei’s GR3 2017, the 5.5-inch Zenfone Max, or all the other phones we may have mentioned in our article for the Top 5 Smartphones Under Php 10,000. This puts the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime, which is priced at Php 9,990, in a really tough position when compared to other offerings from different brands and within Sammy’s own pool of J series phones.

That’s pretty much it for this quick review for the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime, which is priced at Php 9,990. We recently reviewed the Galaxy J2 Prime and, if that more of an entry-level to Samsung’s Galaxy line of smartphones, the J5 Prime offers a step towards Sammy’s higher-tiered, mid-ranged phones. Check back in a couple of days for its full review to see how it holds up.

The Samsung Galaxy J3 emerge isn't particularly special, but it's a good option for Boost Mobile users looking for an affordable phone that's easy to use in one hand. If you prefer a phablet, the LG X Power offers a 5.5-inch screen and longer battery life. The Kyocera Hydro Reach is waterproof and even more affordable, but its older hardware and software combine for lackluster performance. That makes the J3 Emerge a happy medium, especially when you can find it on sale.

This might not be a Pro device through and through - it's more like an advanced amateur - but the Galaxy J7 Pro should be on your shortlist if you're looking for a reasonably priced midranger that delivers where it matters the most. It's a bit of a letdown in graphics performance but makes up for it with a superb display, outstanding battery life and reasonably good camera. Seems like another winner in the J7 lineage then.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro has excellent battery life, has a good display, is well designed, and has a decent camera. If Samsung made this fast and snappy, this would have certainly been a no brainer. Instead, it’s a good phone that would have made much more sense at a slightly lower price.

While the overall performance of the phone is something we’ve experienced on the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime before, the upgrade to the Galaxy J7 Pro’s display, battery life, and its camera makes it the new king of the J series. At Php, 15990, the Korean brand has definitely created a formidable entry to take the mid-ranged segment by storm and we’re pretty sure the other brands have taken notice. Their biggest draw, in case all the marketing material hasn’t made its way onto your feeds or haven’t played before the video you want to watch on YouTube, is their cameras and like we said above, it’s one of the best we’ve used on a mid-ranged device in awhile.

To sum up, the Galaxy J7 Pro has a lot to offer and on papers, it surely looks promising. The phone comes loaded with some premium design coupled with a compact look, though the specifications are pretty much standard across this price range. As for the competition is concerned, the phone will be pitted against Honor 8 Lite, Gionee A1 and Motorola Moto G5 Plus, which are one of the best options available at this price range.

Samsung Galaxy J7 2017
The Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 is the latest annual edition of an already popular phone. The J series has already shaped up as a home to some solid midrange propositions, and the Galaxy J7 (2017) is meant to spice things up even further. The J phones have been enjoying a killer key-selling feature, and that's Samsung's Super AMOLED screens. The Galaxy J7 (2017) is no different; this time around it's a high-tier screen with 1080p resolution, but Samsung didn't stop the upgrades there. The new model builds on the 2016 model with a premium-looking unibody, a high-resolution selfie camera with a flash, more RAM, and a newer Android. The Galaxy J7 (2017) measures 152.5 x 74.8 x 8 mm - close to the Galaxy J7 (2016) footprint but slightly narrower thanks to the impressively narrow bezels. Samsung has been trying out the premium metal build across different segments of its portfolio. The new J7 has gained 11 g of extra weight though, attributed to the solid aluminum unibody. The seamless aluminum unibody is an instant eye-catcher, along with the signature antenna strip design, which Samsung has gone for. With a sturdy 2.5D glass at the front and metal all across the rest of the body, it is definitely a well built device and sets its self apart from all the budget oriented devices. The display glass on the front gets easily smudged with fingerprints and is tough to clean, so there is no oleophobic coating there for sure. The back, however, is not only fingerprint resistant, but its smooth matte surface actually makes for a secure grip. Above the 5.5" AMOLED screen is the earpiece flanked by the new 13 MP selfie camera and the front LED flash. Finally, the new 13 MP main camera with f/1.7 bright lens is on the back coupled with a single LED flash. The Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) is powered by 1.6 GHz octa-core Exynos 7870 processor and it comes with 3 GB of RAM. The phone packs 16 GB of internal storage. The storage capacity can be expanded by up to 256 GB with a microSD card. The Exynos 7870 chip was the only part which was passed up for promotion, still stuck in 2016. It's still a nicely power-efficient 14 nm chipset, so it should surely provide great battery life. Having an old-generation chipset takes its toll, the Galaxy J7 (2017) lacks 4K video capture. The Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) utilizes a sealed 3,600 mAh Lithium-Ion battery, which is a 10% increase in capacity over the J7 (2016). The only downside is that the phone does not support fast charging. The Galaxy J7 (2017) comes packed within a paper box accompanied by a cheap-looking pair of headphones, a regular micro USB cable, and a 5V/1.55A wall plug.

It's not all roses. The Samsung Galaxy J7 is the larger version of the Galaxy J5. It has similar features, but a larger, 5.5-inch display. After the redesign of the entire series, the J7, too, now has a non-removable battery. To find out about other changes, take a look at our detailed review. Update: new firmware with bug fixes released.

Following this year’s release of a nightlife-centric smartphone, Samsung Philippines has launched the Galaxy J7 Core (called J7 Nxt/J7 Neo in other parts of the Earth). Considering that this is the lowest-spec’d J7 in the family, it goes for a very wallet-friendly PhP 9990.

Galaxy J7 (2017) is a worthy successor to last year’s Galaxy J7 as it brings improvements in several different areas and we can definitely describe it as one of the best offers in its price range. The smartphone comes with a renewed design, which includes a metal construction and nice curves at the edges. What’s more, here we also have a fingerprint sensor. The display is again 5.5-inch but now with Full HD resolution and support of Always on feature.

The bottom line is this: if you’re particularly fond of what Samsung does with Android – and they do a lot right – but simply don’t want to spend more than $300, then the J7 2017 is really your only choice. But the handset simply doesn’t pack much dollar-for-dollar value. With so many solid options, often offering more features and better performance, there’s never been a better time to try something new.

Samsung knows its way around the mid-range just as well as it dominates the top-end market. Maybe that's why we had such high hopes for the Galaxy J7 (2017) and we wanted to find good reasons to like it.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Max 2017
The Samsung J series is well known as Samsung’s budget lineup but don’t be fooled by its moniker. While it may not be able to compete with its S series cousins, it sure is a market mover when it comes to budget conscious users. Its 5.7-inch frame is tastefully sized to most user hands, but it sure isn’t compact by a long shot. The overall take of its chassis and design gives it a nice metallic feel without feeling too cheap or too premium. With its unibody design it is quite well built. Its 5.7-inch screen might not be the best in the market, but it serves its purpose by being adequately bright and sharp. Overall color reproduction proves tastefully vibrant although color temperature-wise it may seem a little washed but not that most budget users would notice anyways. Despite being a J series smartphone, it is actually the crème of the crop in its series. One aspect which is subtly high performing is its camera which excels in good lighting and even outdoors where most budget phones tend to suffer from over exposure. However, in low light the camera unfortunately performs rather poorly. Users need to give and take a little especially considering its marketed price. The only consolation to its camera is a reasonably engaging camera software. The Samsung Galaxy J7 Max 2017 is equipped with a Helio P20 8 core based SoC which is still a capable performer especially when it comes to heat management and power consumption, which is somewhat respectable. It is also equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, which should be plenty for most average users. If users want more there is a microSD card slot, too. As the J series of devices tends to be marketed towards the growing smartphone market, it also has a dual sim functionality, which should be useful for users who does not want to be carrying multiple devices. An additional brief overview of its other features is the inclusion of a fingerprint reader although this should be expected since this device is somewhat between the upper entry level and mid-range devices. In terms of audio quality, the speakers are quite punchy. However, when tuned up to the maximum, they can sound slightly odd due to its overpowering highs over its mids. On the power side of things, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Max 2017 is equipped with a 3300 mAh battery which should last for a day on moderate to heavy usage. This is reasonable considering its hardware is a mix of power sipping components and hard hitters. However, users might be disappointed that quick charging is not supported. If you are a user who likes the idea of a large screen real estate but aren’t willing to shell out for a flagship the Samsung Galaxy J7 Max 2017 might be for you.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Max is a competitive offering and is a big leap forward for J-series phones. If you are looking for a branded option and like the idea of some extra screen real-estate, the J7 Max is worth considering for under 18,000 INR.

To wrap up, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Max looks promising and comes loaded with some interesting features at a price tag of Rs 17,900. However, the big screen size makes it a bit difficult to hold it. The brand has focused on the camera as well and it would be interesting to see whether how well it performs when compared to other camera-centric smartphones present in the market.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Core may look like something you’ve seen from the company’s previous Galaxy J offerings, but the device is capable of handling games as advertised and presents itself with a good battery life on top of a good Super AMOLED display and a better version of TouchWiz over Android which we have seen with this year’s releases from the Korean juggernaut.

While the Galaxy J7 Core’s branding as a budget gaming smartphone may be a bit debatable to some, we do think that the Galaxy J7 Core’s main asset lies in its rear camera, as it offers an impressive single-camera configuration that can match the dual-camera offerings of other brands in the same price range. The addition of gaming-oriented apps is a welcome addition to the Galaxy J7 Core for enhancing. However, we want Samsung to give its camera UI some oomph by giving it better manual controls and support for RAW shooting because we believe in the potential of the Galaxy J7 Core’s camera. Save for its lack of a fingerprint scanner and small internal storage (which can be expanded via MicroSD anyway), the Galaxy J7 Core is a great option for those in need of a decent-performing phone without forking too much cash.

Samsung’s J-series lineup of smartphones just keep on growing and recently they released the Galaxy J7+ which is the first J-series smartphone to sport a dual camera setup. In case you missed it, we already got a written review for it. But if you didn’t, you can watch our video review below!

Quite honestly, the J7+ is no surpise. It’s also worth noting that it comes a bit pricey at Php19,990, considering that its competitors such as Huawei, ASUS, Vivo, and Oppo offer smartphones that are less than the said pricetag but gets a bump-up with its specs. But with the device’s premium built, Super AMOLED display, 4GB RAM, and dual rear cameras, the J7+ still hold a name of its own.

Much to our dismay, though, that didn’t quite pan out perfectly. While the J7 does have excellent battery life, a decent screen, and Samsung’s unique Android Experience, it simply doesn’t do anything better than most of its competitors, save for battery life. Not to mention there are a slew of Motorola phones (E, G, and X series) and even a Nokia or two which arguably look better, have more features, perform better in key areas, and cost the same or less than the 2018 Galaxy J7.

I liked this phone, but not so much the camera. As a budget model it delivers as well as any other phone in the $100 price range, but with a bigger LCD than average (effective). As long as you ignore the camera, this phone will certainly do the job for most folks but it's a long way from being flagship class, even when compared to the flagships of 2016 (the S7).

The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.

5.00:
It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
7.00:
This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

74.93%: 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.
