    Is Samsung J7 prime a good phone?
    jewel
    over 1 year ago
    Available at a price of Rs 18,790, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is well-rounded device. The metal unibody design, 3GB RAM and 3,300mAh battery are all really good. But this kind of hardware is already available in competing devices and that too at lower prices.

    Press and hold the volume button on the side of the phone. While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy J7 to a computer via a USB cable. Wait for your phone to boot into Debug/Download mode. When it does, press down on the volume button to cancel.

    How long does J7 prime battery last?
    elton.hauck
    over 1 year ago
    Despite its sizable 3,300 mAh battery, the J7 Prime lasted a middling 8 hours and 32 minutes in the Tom's Guide Battery Test (continuous web-surfing over T-Mobile's LTE network). The smartphone average is 9:50, so the J7 Prime isn't terrible.

    Finally, the Galaxy J7 (2016) does have a couple of minor downsides such as a lack of gyroscope and the lack of barometer, but this isn't anything major.

    Performance: Just OK for the price However, Samsung's budget device isn't the greatest for gaming. In 3D Mark's Ice Storm Unlimited test of graphics performance, the J7 Prime produced a score of 8,140.

    The new Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime has been launched at Rs. 18,790 and offers a lot of features. The 4G-enabled J7 Prime sports a metal body, full-HD display, massive battery, and some great software enhancements which make it one of the more interesting choices in the sub-Rs. 20,000 price category.

    The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
