Samsung J7 Prime 32GB Price In India: Great Smartphone Overall

The Samsung J7 Prime 32GB Price in India is a mid-range smartphone from Samsung India. We had the opportunity to have a hands-on experience with the Galaxy J7 Prime. Here is our thought about the phone. In the article, we will also compare the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime vs Oppo F1s.

Quick Review:

In terms of appearance, the Samsung J7 Prime has a metal design instead of a plastic body as previous products of the Galaxy J series. It is this new design language that feels more premium and sturdy than its predecessor. The edges of the device are also slightly curved to create a better grip for users.

In terms of configuration, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime owns an octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, support for expandable memory card and a 3,300 mAh battery, which is enough for nearly a day of battery life. Through quick experience with a few heavy games like Modern Combat 5 and Fifa 16, both work quite smoothly, but the device is somewhat hot after a long gaming session.

The main camera of the Galaxy J7 Prime has a 13 MP resolution with LED flash and an 8 MP front camera with an aperture of f / 1.9 for better selfies in low light. We tested with the rear camera of this smartphone, in good light conditions, it has a good focus and gives a quite impressive image quality, good contrast, sharp details, but the colors seem to be a bit too bright.

Performance

Speaking of Samsung J7 Prime specification, the handset I have on hand is equipped with a 5.5-inch screen with Full-HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), Exynos 7870 octa-core Cortex A53 clocked at 1.6GHz, integrated Mali-T830 graphics with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. In addition, Galaxy J7 Prime also comes with Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 pre-installed with the traditional TouchWiz interface.

First, with the Antutu Benchmark app to measure overall performance, the Galaxy J7 Prime achieved 45,472 points. Its 3D score is 5791 points, UX score is 17114 points, CPU score is 16707 points, and RAM score is 5,860 points.

Next, we use Geekbench 3 and Vellamo apps to measure single-core and multi-core processing. With Geekbench 3, the Galaxy J7 Prime achieved scores of 738 points for single-core and 4,057 points for multi-core. As for Vellamo, the device achieves 1,057 points for single-core and 1,645 points for multi-core.

Finally, with the 3DMark app used to measure the ability to handle graphics. With the SlingShot 3.1 test, Galaxy J7 Prime got 289 points and was 470 points with SlingShot 3.0.

Through the above tests we can clearly see that with the configuration that Samsung equips Galaxy J7 Prime, although good, but still not strong enough to achieve high scores. So, the configuration of Galaxy J7 Prime is enough to run smoothly apps and popular games or not?

For an accurate and objective look, I tried the Galaxy J7 Prime phone for a few days with basic apps like Facebook, Skype, Gmail, Whatsapp and played some popular games including Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5, Jetpack Joyride and Temple Run 2.

For common apps, Galaxy J7 Prime runs well, fast, without problems such as force close or app crashes. Experiment with four games above, we can divide into 2 groups, casual games, and heavy games. Jetpack Joyride and Temple Run 2 are classified as casual games, while Asphalt 8 and Modern Combat 5 are classified as heavy games. With 2 light titles, Galaxy J7 Prime gives a good performance, almost no problems during the session. But when switching to two heavy games, obviously the configuration of Galaxy J7 Prime cannot guarantee the user the best experience. Specifically, in fast-action scenes, which need strong graphic performance, lag occurs quite often but does not affect too much of the user experience.

Perhaps the most obvious drawback on the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is that its multitasking capabilities are not really good and stable. Sometimes, with apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, you just need to log out, the app will immediately be reloaded. Hopefully, Samsung will fix this problem soon in the next software updates.

Galaxy J7 Prime vs Oppo F1s

The Samsung j7 prime price is at the same level as the Oppo F1's price. Let's see which phone has the better design.

Front and side design

Overall, both devices have quite the same design, rounded design with 4 rounded corners, the edges are also curved with the main purpose of bringing a better grip to the user. Both devices are rated as having the best design in mid-range smartphones today.

Talking a bit about the metal frame of the OPPO F1s, its metal cover will stack on the plastic part of the front. This method of OPPO has been used since OPPO F1 Plus and this will bring an uncomfortable feeling when users directly place their hands on the frames. Of course, the discomfort is not too much but compared to J7 Prime, it is considered inferior.

Perhaps the front is the most similar point of the Galaxy J7 Prime and OPPO F1s. The displays of both devices are protected by a 2.5D curved tempered glass panel, which provides a better touch.

One thing Samsung has done better than OPPO is the color synchronization for the front and the frame of the device. You can see the J7 Prime has a black front that matches the metal frame. Oppo F1s, though, has a gray frame, but feature a black front panel. Aesthetically, the Galaxy J7 Prime has a more coherent design than the OPPO F1s.

Rear Design

Despite having different colors, both Galaxy J7 Prime and OPPO F1s have a metal back.

The Samsung and OPPO logos are placed in the same position, just enough for users to show off their phone brand when used. Samsung placed the camera slightly concave on the metal surface, this helps protect the camera glass. Therefore, you do not even need to use a case as the camera will hardly be scratched. But OPPO F1s is different, the camera is placed high to the left and slightly protrude. During use, if not careful, it is easy to scratch the glass surface and directly affects the image quality later.

While Samsung tried to put the back of the Galaxy J7 Prime to blend into the overall color. OPPO showed off three backs of OPPO F1s, with a silver-plated antenna array running parallel to the top and bottom. If you are a fastidious user, you will feel that the back of OPPO F1s loses its coherence, aesthetically, it is inferior to rival Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime.
