Do you often go on business trips and don’t want to overpay for communications? There is no need to buy a new SIM card with an unknown number to your colleagues, now you can make/receive calls over Wi-Fi at the price of calls in Russia for both you and the caller.

This is the older model from the updated Galaxy J series of devices. Unlike the previous generation, the 2016 smartphone has a new design and body materials, improved characteristics and reduced dimensions.

Information is displayed on a large display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. The screen is made using Super AMOLED technology, which is known for rich colors, high brightness, wide viewing angles and low battery consumption. A resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels is quite enough for comfortable viewing of photos, videos and other information. This solution also increases battery life and application performance. Despite such a substantial size, the smartphone fits very comfortably in the hand and can fit into almost any pocket. And the Hall sensor will allow the screen to automatically turn on and off when using the book case.


Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) J710 has fairly balanced technical characteristics that cope with many different tasks. Inside there is an 8-core Samsung Exynos 7870 processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. It is made using a modern 14 nm technological process, which allows not only to increase performance, but also to seriously reduce power consumption. Combined with a 3300 mAh battery, this allows the smartphone to work up to 23 hours during calls, up to 96 hours of listening to music and up to 21 hours when playing video. These are really excellent figures and mean that you don't have to charge the device every evening. Plus, there is an extreme energy saving function, when the user himself limits the number of active processes, and the display can be switched to black and white mode (the Super AMOLED display consumes virtually no energy to display black). The RAM capacity is 2 GB and makes it possible to open several applications at once.

Replenishing the mid-budget ranks, Samsung continues to expand the J-series, in which the title of senior device now belongs to Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016), very similar in parameters to the new Galaxy J5 (2016). It is very possible that the Galaxy J7 will find itself among those who like to take pictures always, everywhere and with everyone, since the 13 and 5 megapixel cameras create a completely competitive tandem. Among other things, the front camera is equipped with a flash, and that’s already something.

External impressions

The smartphone turned out to be quite light thanks to the plastic case - 169 g. And the painted frame bordering the edges actually only seems to be metal. The smoothed ribs somewhat change the perception and in some ways even hint at premium quality. The phone will be available in several color options: gold, white and black. The matte surface and slight roughness allow us to give the case, if not an excellent, then a very good rating.

The façade and…

Samsung Galaxy G 7 (2016) equipped with a large 5.5-inch screen with FullHD resolution, which is an improvement compared to last year's version of the Samsung Galaxy J7. The brightness leaves a pleasant impression, and the sharp viewing angles show that Samsung has not forgotten how to make excellent displays, which is what this manufacturer is valued for. The processor on the phone remains the same - Snapdragon 615 with 8 cores and an Adreno 405 graphics accelerator. Since it has already been tested and found worthy, the developers decided not to touch it, but focused on upgrading the RAM, expanding it from 1.5 to 3 GB. One of the possible reasons for this is the proprietary TouchWiz shell, which occupied almost half of the RAM in the Galaxy J7. 16 GB is allocated for permanent storage, but the most voluminous, as usual, will be a microSD card with a potential of up to 128 GB.

It is not difficult to predict whether fans will be delighted with the presence of Android OS 5.1.1. This is indeed a little confusing due to the fact that the sixth version has long been popular among famous brands. But competitors can take advantage of this moment. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Zuk Z1 are just a couple of those that have long been ready to compete for the attention of buyers in all markets. These models, by the way, have very good batteries: 4000 and 4100 mAh, respectively. According to available information, the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) has a removable, but less powerful 3000 mAh battery, so it will need to prove its worth in some other way. And this time it was not without the LTE module, which became almost universal in 2016.

In general, the device turned out to be good. Will be waiting for it to reach the masses.

Description

Description Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) J710FN/DS Black

Do you often go on business trips and don’t want to overpay for communications? There is no need to buy a new SIM card with an unknown number to your colleagues, now you can make/receive calls over Wi-Fi at the price of calls in Russia for both you and the caller.

This is the older model from the updated Galaxy J series of devices. Unlike the previous generation, the 2016 smartphone has a new design and body materials, improved characteristics and reduced dimensions.

Information is displayed on a large display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. The screen is made using Super AMOLED technology, which is known for rich colors, high brightness, wide viewing angles and low battery consumption. A resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels is quite enough for comfortable viewing of photos, videos and other information. This solution also increases battery life and application performance. Despite such a substantial size, the smartphone fits very comfortably in the hand and can fit into almost any pocket. And the Hall sensor will allow the screen to automatically turn on and off when using the book case.


Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) J710 has fairly balanced technical characteristics that cope with many different tasks. Inside there is an 8-core Samsung Exynos 7870 processor with a frequency of 1.6 GHz. It is made using a modern 14 nm technological process, which allows not only to increase performance, but also to seriously reduce power consumption. Combined with a 3300 mAh battery, this allows the smartphone to work up to 23 hours during calls, up to 96 hours of listening to music and up to 21 hours when playing video. These are really excellent figures and mean that you don't have to charge the device every evening. Plus, there is an extreme energy saving function, when the user himself limits the number of active processes, and the display can be switched to black and white mode (the Super AMOLED display consumes virtually no energy to display black). The RAM capacity is 2 GB and makes it possible to open several applications at once. The Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system with the exclusive TouchWiz shell has a more colorful interface and a number of features that are available only to owners of Samsung gadgets.
