Design

New details and also the biggest highlights of the design of the Galaxy J7 (2016) this year is equipped with a metal frame like the Galaxy Alpha previous form. This helps products get grip feeling uncertain and more advanced than the older generation.

Also new is the metal frame, the phone’s design remains the traditional design features of Samsung. Machine with the motherboard and the back chamfered corners help users embrace hand grip. Plastic dorsal side of the machine can be disassembled, and the front Home button is flanked basic navigation keys (back and multitasking). Dorsal surface of the smooth but not slippery plastic pretty hands as the back side metal machines.

The power button, volume, audio ports and charging port are in the familiar position. Manufacturer allows user removable battery and this is a new installation should be two removable SIM (Standard Micro), and removable memory card. A new addition is on Galaxy J7 (2016) is on the front flash light when record video to support or take a selfie shooting in dimly lit locations. Liner screen is also pretty well optimized for display area ratio / chassis reaches 72.3%, quite high.

From the overall design of the Galaxy J7 (2016) is much improved compared to the older generation with the arrival of the metal frame and detailed finishing machine is pretty good. Only drawback is the Home key on the front requires little force to press hard, is not as sensitive as on high-end line. However, we can say this year Samsung invested heavily in design and finishing in mid-range J and A’s new Galaxy line.

Screen

The display of the Galaxy J7 (2016) sized 5.5 inch Super AMOLED panel using HD resolution for a pixel density of 267 PPI. In the Chinese market alone, this phone’s screen with Full HD resolution with a pixel density of 401 PPI. At HD resolution, sharpness of Galaxy J7 (2016) if you look closely and looked at close range can see the details fractured, not smooth. However, this does not significantly affect the use of common, everyday.

Regarding the image quality, the Galaxy J7 (2016) still reflect the characteristics of the Super AMOLED screen: high contrast, bright colors, deep blacks and wide viewing angles. But when measured on dedicated devices, color display of a brilliant yet expressed deep with Super AMOLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy A5/ A7 (2016) and Galaxy S7. Apparently Samsung also offer a variety of Super AMOLED screen with a different quality depending on the product segment. The screen remains plus point of this phone compared to the same price range machines use LCD panels.

On Galaxy J7 (2016), Samsung offers 4 full screen mode selection similar to the high-end machines, including the default mode Optimized display colors characteristic of AMOLED flattering eye and Basic mode be tweaked to display the standard color. We have screen test in both modes, that mode Basic color equivalent standard IPS LCD screen with good quality. However, the reality is perhaps less user selects Basic mode by the standard color but slightly yellowing and lifeless compared to the rest of the regime, especially Optimized display mode.

A little strange on the Galaxy J7 (2016) we see no light sensor so no option to automatically adjust the brightness. Light sensor is more often now on the smartphone including cheap so hard to understand why Samsung did not take it into their midrange products. After all, Samsung has also included an outdoor mode screen brightness will increase to a higher level the maximum level in manual mode. In this mode, the screen Galaxy J7 (2016) could see very well outdoors.

Software

Galaxy J7 (2016) currently being built new Android version 6. On this phone, Samsung has equipped two very new feature is the drive mode and mode S Bike Super save data.

Bike driving mode S is Samsung first brought into the machine Galaxy J, now supports Galaxy J3 (2016), J5 and J5 (2016), J7 and J7 (2016). This mode can be enabled through NFC tag on the machine supports NFC or press and hold the power button. When activated S Bike, incoming calls will be answered automatically systems in English informed people called are driving (the call is still charged as normal). You will not receive any notification during S Bike mode. In an emergency, the caller can press 1 to the call was transferred to. Thus, the recipient will receive a call to normal though S Bike mode is activated. However, to hear the call, you are driving at speeds below 10 km / h and of course the better solution would be to stop to ensure safety.

On the interface mode S Bike announcement card displays an incoming call while you are traveling. You can enable Smart Replies to automatically send a message to the caller, note that this mode requires the machine must have an Internet connection. In addition, this mode also stores information about the distance you travel daily under driving activity. Overall, this is pretty interesting features, useful for motorcycle users, enabling them to focus on driving while on the road. However, this feature is not supported limiting headphones (wired and wireless), you are forced to stop when you want to receive calls safely. Hopefully Samsung will expand this feature to all its smartphones.

Super savings mode data on the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) using data compression technology Opera. When operating in this mode, the data (photos, video and audio) download and upload from computer to computer network will be compressed to reduce the size. Data background will also be limited, only allowing a maximum of 6 applications that run underground (you selected this application) when you are mobile Internet connection.

Apart from these two features, the machine also comes with the theme by theme with Samsung to offer, support NFC to use S Bike features or mobile payments in the future, the app comes pre-installed with Microsoft’s 100GB stored on OneDrive, one hand mode, ultra-saving mode and battery saving mode for applications (some applications are not used after 3 days will be prompted to take into battery saving mode, not out notification). Machines do not have some other interesting features of Samsung as increase download speeds and multiple window limited by hardware.

Battery Galaxy J7 (2016) improved slightly 3300 mAh compared to 3000 mAh on the old version J7. Results of evaluation activities to the movies, surf the Web and play games on the software simulator performance metrics of the Galaxy J7 (2016) GFX Bench are very unexpected, higher than half to double the smartphones in the same range old. Especially battery life watching movies and surfing the web, HD video playback , machines are up to 15 hours 10 minutes and 13 hours 42 minutes continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi networks, or roughly the time of two business days.

Unexpected battery time of Galaxy J7 (2016) may come from a number of factors such as itself is high-capacity battery, the screen resolution is not high (HD), new processors based on 14nm process better battery life and the new version of Android 6 optimized well.

The flash on the camera front is not the usual flash that will illuminate continuously until off, similar to the type used as the screen lit the lamps but the light more.

Camera has many applications including automatic shooting modes, professional (to adjust ISO, white balance, brightness and compensate exposure no choice), continuous shooting, beautiful portraits, sports HDR, photo accompanying sound bars and night mode. You can click on the Home button twice quickly to activate the camera application. Photos taken at the highest resolution (13MP) when shooting in the ratio of 4: 3, 16: 9 only 9,6MP.

When shooting in well-lit environments, speed camera captured after stroke and snap, but HDR mode, the machine processing takes about 2 seconds, not fast in real time as high-end Galaxy S line. Quality photos in well-lit environment can make a passable level of detail, but the color is slightly pale and red referring. In the morning, the environment downstream HDR mode does not create much difference, but also improve the contrast slightly, contributing to better pictures. With the strong background light, the difference HDR mode remarkably effective, making the dark areas become much clearer.

In addition to flash and the camera also supports previous J7 skin beauty regime. When operating in this mode, the photographer’s face is lightened, smoother. Shutter speed of the camera before a little slow, so photos can vibration despite take in the morning .

Conclude

Many cheap smartphones from Chinese manufacturers are now using metal materials. Maybe Samsung has felt the pressure from the competitors should have use the metal frame for Galaxy J5 and J7 (2016), a change improved design quality and feel when handling the product. In addition, this product continues to improve sharply advantage of battery time from generation predecessor.

Super AMOLED screen, though not brilliant and quality as Galaxy A5 (2016) and Galaxy A7 (2016) but still bright, wide viewing angles and the ability to see clearly outdoors, much the same price range machines use IPS LCD screen. Performance is also quite good, new Android 6 software but the camera is not impressive. Overall, the Galaxy J7 (2016) is a significant upgrade compared to the old J7.
