Samsung also revealed Liza Soberano as again the face for Galaxy J7 Pro. Liza gave a stellar dance performance with "Capture the Night" - song made to promote the Galaxy J7 Pro. Bamboo also performed and wowed the crowd with his music. Definitely it was a wonderful night for everyone.
Finally! we got our hands on the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro. It does look sexy with its curvier full metal body accented with antenna lines topped with 2.5D Gorilla Glass. We welcome this new aesthetics as J Series has now been elevated to a more premium class.

It's back to Super AMOLED Full HD Display which was missing from J Prime Series. Galaxy J7 Pro screen gives rich and viibrant viewing pleasures that best to watch movies, games as well as view your outstanding photos and clips.
Under the hood, it is powered by Samsung own Exynos 7870 Octa-Core Processor clocked at 1.6GHz with Mali-T830 GPU coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage (up to 24GB of Available Storage). You could still expand with dedicated microSD card slot. Antutu Benchmark is below for reference. Just decent class performance that will enable you to run basic task and applications and heavy games at low-medium settings. However it is by Samsung after all and so expect system to be optimized.
Talking about photos, we move on to Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro optics that has been upgraded to "Capture the Night". This mostly stem with larger aperture for the 13MP Rear and Front Camera at f/1.7 and f/1.9 that gives better low light performance. Upon checking the sensors they used, it is revealed that Galaxy J7 Pro packs a Sony IMX 258 for Rear Camera and Samsung S5K3M3 ISOCELL for Front Camera. (If you should know IMX 258 is used by LG G6) See Samples Below.

As for connectivity, comes with regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. NFC is present for tap to pair and for mobile payments. You will have upgraded data connectivity as 4G+ or LTE Advance is supported (Network dependent). This is a Dual Sim Dual Standby handset so you have two networks to access.
Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro runs on Android Nougat 7.0 with the latest Samsung Experience UI. We are surprised to see flagship features like Always On Display, Secure Folder and Game Modes making its way to J Series. More of Gesture base UI but you will get used to it in time. Per looking on to the sensors, we are please to see almost all - gyro, accelerometer, light, proximity and orientation. Fingerprint sensor is also available for more personalized security.
With 3600mAh battery and optimized internal hardware and software, I am confident that it will have better battery life that could last even the day of heavy to moderate use and even on data.
Overall, Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro is big improvement for J Series line especially in terms of camera, software, sensors and battery. It's internals are just decent but it will be able to handle you need for apps, social and even games. Its camera is also a win even at auto settings, you get great low light captures thanks to its upgraded optics and large aperture. For 15,990 it is best buy from reputable brand in mobile, Samsung.
