As always, Samsung likes to carefully plan ahead when it comes to both high and mid-end smartphone releases, cooking up plenty of 2017 choices especially for budget-minded mobile device consumers uninterested in the Galaxy S8.
Along with at least three new premium-looking but non-flagship A-series phones, and a modest J3 Emerge Sprint will reportedly carry shortly after the holidays, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise that a Galaxy J7 (2017) is also decidedly around the corner.
This middling 5.5-incher’s predecessor only saw daylight back in spring of 2016, so it’s entirely possible we’ll have to wait until March or even April for a formal introduction here. But we already know almost everything about it, starting with incremental updates in the screen resolution, processing power and RAM departments.
Yes, the 2017 edition of the Samsung Galaxy J7 shall sport a Full HD, not just HD, 5.5-inch display, 3GB random-access memory, and unspecified but likely Exynos 7870 and Snapdragon 617-beating octa-core SoC.
Android 7.0 Nougat will purportedly run the software show instead of the aging Marshmallow variant, with average features like 13 and 5MP cameras, 16GB internal storage and micro-USB connectivity probably staying in place. There’s no fingerprint reader in tow either, but at least today’s leaked renders and 360-degree CAD video hint at a slightly snazzier design, metallic rear shooter strip and all.

Unlike the Galaxy A family, last year’s J series managed to easily set itself apart from Samsung’s flagship models, with appreciably lower-end specs, inferior build materials and palatable price tags. As a consequence of especially that last part, the first-gen J5 and J7 achieved sleeper hit status, helping the OEM retain its domination over all other smartphone manufacturers even in emerging markets.The two’s somewhat unexpected success also warranted premature sequels,

Samsung probably missed the optimal window for announcing its latest additions to the mid-range Galaxy J smartphone family, as the J5 (2016) and especially the J7 (2016) garnered decent buzz at one point in the rumor mill.But in recent weeks, the hype slowly waned, and so ultimately, the world-leading Korean OEM decided to go with a simple, quiet, low-key introduction of the two devices on the company’s ...

2015 wasn’t a great year for Samsung smartphone sales, but while flagships underwhelmed at the global box-office, a few mid-rangers over performed. The Galaxy J5 and J7 in particular developed a cult following among cash-strapped Android enthusiasts in emerging markets, standing out with solid overall quality-price ratios and LED flash-endowed selfie cameras.Now it’s almost time for the two’s sequels, and if you were wondering whether they’d offer a similarly “original” selling ...

Right now, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 is casting a shadow so large, it’s difficult to keep the rest of the company’s lineup in sight. But soon our myopia will begin to pass, and with the GS7 going official in just a few days, we can begin to return some much-needed attention to the other devices starting to make their way out of Samsung’s development pipeline. One we’ve been keeping an eye our for lately is the 2016 edition of the Galaxy J7, which early specs outed as a very respectable upper mid-ranger. Some of the details are still up in the air (and

When we’re talking about Samsung SoCs these days, more often than not we’re thinking about something along the lines of the Exynos 8 Octa, the advanced chip slated to power the upcoming Galaxy S7 in select markets. And while that’s clearly the future of Samsung flagships, there’s still plenty of life left in the old Exynos 7 Octa line, ...

It looks like Samsung may have learned quite a bit from its recent mistakes, as the rumored Galaxy S7 plan calls for a vastly improved flagship device in the battery capacity department, also capable of microSD storage expansion and underwater operation.But as far as endurance is concerned and little else, the lower-end Galaxy J7 (2016) could prevail over the “next big thing”, somehow accommodating a 4,300 mAh battery, according to info revealed on GitHub.Kernel code exposes the ...
