Snapdragon 650 sits at the core of this phone, an octa-core chip paired with Adreno 510 graphics and just 2 GB RAM. That's a modest combination by today's standards, but the 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen still stands out, giving deeper contrast and richer colours than the LCD panels common at this price point, even at a 720 x 1280 resolution.
The 13 MP rear camera with f/1.9 aperture handles daylight shots reasonably well and includes HDR, panorama and face detection for casual shooting. A 5 MP front camera with its own LED flash covers selfies in dim settings. Battery life gets a boost from the 3300 mAh removable cell, and storage starts at 16 GB with microSD expansion up to 128 GB if you need more room.
Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) price in Malaysia starts from RM899. It ships with NFC, dual-SIM support and LTE Cat4 connectivity, running Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box.
