Samsung Galaxy J7 Star Review

Score: 73.1 / 100

Samsung Galaxy J7 Star is a brilliantly made Android cellphone released back in the year 2018, which features an extremely fast 1600 MHz Octa-Core processor, a really big 5.5 inches screen, and two cameras, a 13 MP back facing camera and a 13 mega-pixels front camera. Let's take a closer view of what this phone has to offer.

The J7 Star is very thin and comfortable, being just 0.34" thick. This device is quite a compact cellphone, taking into account that it features a 5.5 inches display and it's just 6.03 inches long and 3 inches wide. Samsung is offering this device in color blue. The J7 Star doesn't feel very lightweight comparing to other cellphones , weighting 6.38 ounces.

Samsung designed this phone with a nice 5.5" display, and a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, giving this phone a nice graphical experience.

Samsung ships this cellphone with an extremely powerful Octa-Core processor speeding at 1.6 gigahertz, packed into the Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7870 chip and a big 2 GB of RAM memory. A good point of the Samsung Galaxy J7 Star is its 32 GB big internal memory and an external memory slot, allowing you to store hundreds of apps without worrying about filling it.

This cellphone has wi-fi capability (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a router or modem), LTE (4G) fast data connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, a bit slower 4G technology and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 13 megapixels front facing camera. Even though it's 13 MP might sound great the back facing camera has a very little 0.326797 inches sensor it takes darker photographs than you would expect. This phone can also film videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second.

This phone has a high capacity 3300 mAh Li - Polymer non-removable battery providing this cellphone a great battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the J7 Star's battery is not replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to lose capacity, although with its 3300 mAh you will probably discard this cellphone before it becomes a real problem.

This phone also features a lot of useful features such as Face unlock, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Samsung offers this phone for about $ 107, which is quite close to other similar phones. This phone is definitely the correct option no matter if you want a social phone, will use it as a work phone, you love taking photographs or will use this device for playing games. Samsung also sells this phone with Wall charging adapter, USB cable, Terms & Conditions and Start guide.
