Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro is a solid all-rounder providing respectable performance, excellent battery efficiency and high-quality camera setup.
Compare to its predecessor, the J7 Pro offers substantial upgrade with a larger Super AMOLED 5.5-inch display with a pixel density of 401 PPI. When watching multimedia, it is absolutely stunning to look at. Coming from the battery is a higher capacity 3600mAh cell that turns out to be more than a handful than a day of moderate usage.
On the spec sheet, there`s no significant upgrade except for a bigger 3GB RAM which is on par with other budget constraint handset in the market.
There are many competitors in the price range of S$300 to S$500, but the one thing that`s stand out against its closest rival is the metallic design and built quality which feels very solid. In additional, it is still comfortable to use with one hand.
Besides the usual black colour, there is also a gold version available for more sophisticated looks.
Both rear and front cameras have been upgraded with 13 MP F/1.7 and 13MP F/1.9 aperture respectively for clearer and crispier images irrespective of the lighting conditions. The interface has also been simplified to improve one handed usability with thoughtful features like moving shutter button.
