Android version and market relevance

The company Samsung in March 2018 officially announced its new smartphone Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 in the series of mobile devices Samsung Galaxy J. In our subjective opinion, this year one of the important parameters for smartphones has become support for 5G networks, and this new model, unfortunately, it did not receive such an opportunity and will not be able to work in 5G networks. Therefore, if this is important to you, then go to our page in the catalog where all 5G smartphones are assembled.

“Out of the box” on the new smartphone installed Android 7 Nougat, which is updated to version 9 Pie. And besides, it is important to note immediately that the model Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 supports two SIM cards (view all smartphones with 2 sim cards in the catalog).

Screen, body and battery

Moderately large 5.5-inch screen, made by technology PLS TFT installed in the smartphone Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2.

The larger the screen, the larger the case. But in addition to the width and height of the hull, its thickness is important. At Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 the thickness of the case is 8 mm, which turns out to be very thick. Today, there are many smartphones with a slim body.

The battery and the operating time also depend on the screen size. At Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 installed battery for 3 300 mAh, and this is not enough, but not yet a lot.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 has two cameras: main camera (13 MP Wide) and front-camera (13 MP with a regular lens). If you look at the quality of the photo of the main camera, then it will be medium-quality photos and videos.

In this smartphone, the front camera is located as usual at the top of the screen, like in 99.9% of other models. We have collected smartphones with pop-up front camera in the catalog that may seem much more interesting to you. In these models, there are practically no frames around the screen, because the front camera is located inside the case and does not take up space above the screen. The selfie camera only pops up when you activate the front camera mode. Take a photo or video, exit the Camera application. And after that, the socket with the front camera drives into the body. Real engineering magic!

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 is installed 8-core processor on the chipset Exynos 7870 Octa. As for RAM, the memory module is used here 3 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications both on the built-in smartphone memory, and on memory cards microSD up to 256 GB. You are only available 32 GB built-in memory, so you need to be more careful about what you store on the device.

Price for Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2: buy or not to buy?

If you are looking for a camera phone, then this is not the model that suits you. If you need a smartphone with a huge touch screen, then this is not the model you are looking for. If you are looking for selfie smartphone (smartphone with a very cool front camera for shooting selfie), then this is exactly what you were looking for. Do not pass by Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2, you should like it.

Let′s step back from the lyrics and talk about money. Selling Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 will begin in April 2018 at a price of $170. There are analogues of this model from its price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, you can choose any smartphone for the same money.

We recommend buying a new smartphone only from trusted sellers. And preferably before buying the phone hold in your hand, to feel the dimensions of his hand and look at all of its external signs (build quality and materials). Then turn it on and check the touch screen (there should be no “broken” pixels, color gradient), open several built-in applications to assess the speed and smoothness of the interface. Be sure to launch the “Camera” application and take a few photos and videos, then view them (there should be no artifacts or traces of dust on the lens or glass).
