The Samsung Galaxy J7 was launched along with the Galaxy J5 in June this year and the Korean tech giant made clear its intention that it wants to get a good grasp of the midrange smartphone market the way it did recently with the high-end smartphone segment with the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge, and just recently, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
As a midrange smartphone, one of the most striking attributes of the Galaxy J7 is its affordability. Realty Today actually describes the smartphone as the lighter version of the Galaxy A7, while offering semi-premium features but confined to the mid-range.
The GSM Arena even reported that the Galaxy J7 is easy to remember for its J7 nomenclature because the J stands for its affordable price while the 7 stands for its 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen.
The Galaxy J7 is also a cheaper version of the Galaxy E7, but it retained some of the high-end or topnotch specifications of those other more expensive handsets from Samsung.
A stunning smartphone
Despite the usual criticisms from some critics, the Galaxy J7 is a stunning handset that is powered by a 64-bit octa-core processor. It is one of the latest smartphones of today that puts more focus on the screen size rather than the resolution. It has a 720-pixel screen resolution.
The Galaxy J7 comes in two models – one is powered by the Snapdragon 615 processor, and the other by an Exynos 7580 chipset. Both came out of the box with Android 5.1 Lollipop on it.
It features a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing snapper with an LED flash and a wide f/1.9 aperture. It also has a generous 3,000 mAH battery, but it lacks the fingerprint sensor that most Samsung devices have these days, as well as the Samsung Pay app.
A bold attempt
Samsung has launched the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5 in June as a bold attempt of the Korean tech giant to regain its market share in the mid-range smartphone market that it once held firmly well.
Just like its grasp on the high-end smartphone market not too long ago, Samsung eventually lost it with its own doing when it released the Samsung Galaxy S5 in March last year with hardly any major improvement from its high-end flagship smartphone of 2013, the Samsung Galaxy S4.
As a result, the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus swallowed the Samsung Galaxy S5 in whole not to mention a significant portion of the Korean tech giant's high-end smartphone consumers.
But Samsung bounced back this year with the launching of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge to redeem itself and eventually recover lost ground, and more importantly, its market share in the high-end smartphone market.
The Korean tech giant did great in making that huge turnaround with the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. Three months later, Samsung wanted to do the same in the mid-range smartphone market, thus launching the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5.
While Samsung has promised a complete makeover of its entire smartphone lineup this year, the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5 actually came with the same bland designs of the previous Samsung mid-range handsets.
Compared for example with the Huawei P8lite, the Galaxy S7 actually struggles to even deserve a second look.
The Chinese smartphone maker has obviously come out with a beautiful-looking smartphones for the mid-range, which many critics believe as the hands down title contender for the best designed mid-range smartphone of 2015.
