Samsung launches Galaxy J7 Prime 2 at with Make in India feature; Price, specs inside

Samsung Mobile India on Wednesday launched its new mid-range smart phone, the Galaxy J7 Prime 2. Priced at Rs 13,990, the phone is available in two colours namely, black and gold.

The new phone’s equipped with a 5.5-inch FHD (Full High Definition) coated in Corning Gorilla Glass and runs on the Exynos Octa-Core chipset that clocks at 1.6GHz paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. If that seems underwhelming for your requirements, then there’s an option to expand the phone’s memory to 256GB using the dedicated microSD card slot.

The device operates on Android Nougat out-of-box with the Samsung Experience UI layered on top, which is a slight let down since Android Oreo is already in the market.

The Galaxy J7 Prime 2 powered by a 3,300mAh battery that’s speculated to have 21 hours of talk time. That’s not too impressive considering that most people use their phone for more than just calls, meaning the device won’t last 24 hours on a single charge.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 comes with a “Make in India” feature called the Samsung Mall that allows users to shoot and shop on the move. All users have to do is search for a product using an image or text, and the app will filter results from partner catalogues such as Jabong, Amazon India, and ShopClues.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 2 is a good budget device for people who’re tired of 6-inch screens and smartphones that don’t fit in pockets. Otherwise, the phone doesn’t fare too well against the competition in the same price segment.
