Both the devices do not have anything groundbreaking in terms of specs and design. However, the Samsung Galaxy J series of smartphones are defining a mid-range segment for those who want to own a Galaxy device but are not willing to go for high-end flagships by Samsung. These variants are the ones that Samsung unveiled in Korea, last week.

The Galaxy J5 (2016) features a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 720×1280 pixels and is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 410 chipset clubbed with 2GB of RAM. While the Galaxy J7 (2016) bears a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 720×1280 and comes powered by an octa-core Exynos 7870 SoC paired with 3GB of RAM. Both the devices are equipped with a 13-megapixel primary camera with LED flash, along with a 5-megapixel selfie camera with LED flash, which is touted by Samsung to capture great selfies. On the connectivity front, both the smartphones boast 4G LTE and dual-SIM support.
