Internally, they share Memory and Internal Storage at 1.5GB RAM and 16GB. The Samsung J7 is powered by 64bit Snapdragon 615 Octa-Core Processor and Snapdragon 410 Quad-Core for Samsung Galaxy J5. The two Phones has MicroSD slot for storage expansion that supports up to 128GB. It must be noted that there is a Exynos Galaxy J7 but I guess the Snapdragon model will be for the Philippine Market.

Their connectivity and optics are slightly the same. With regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. LTE HSPA+ serves its internet connection on the go, LTE Model will not be sold for the Philippine Market. The Samsung Galaxy J7 will have NFC (Snapdragon Model).

The duo shall 13MP primary Rear Camera with f1.9 aperture at the back with LED Flash that takes brilliant photos even in low light. Both Phones are selfie-centric with 5MP that comes with Palm and Wide Selfie Modes and also Front Facing LED Flash for added light support.

Both smartphones comes in White, Black, Gold.

Overall, its nice seeing Samsung updates its line of phones with competitive specs and up-to-date hardware and software. The Super Amoled Display should provide great visuals with rich color production. 64bit processor will worked well with 64bit Android Lollipop and so a very optimized performance with enough memory and storage. Well what do you expect from the number 1 Android maker but better and reliable smartphones.

Spotted via cmkcellphones.com but it seems it was an error on there part as LTE Model is not being offered. On lighter note, Samsung Galaxy J5 LTE model are available with carrier Globe and Sun Cellular with their postpaid plans.

Powering the device is Mediatek new MT6752 64bit Octa-Core processor coupled with ample 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal storage that can be expandable via microSD. However it runs only 32bit Android KitKat, hopefully Alcatel could update it to Lollipop soon so it could really utilize the 64bit processor and improves considerably performance. Still Flash Plus is very responsive and is very fluid. For Geeks, here is Antutu bechmarks score for your reference...

Alcatel Flash Plus is really great bang-for-buck Phablet with a very large HD Display, reliable up-to-date Chipset, LTE and Battery life that last the day and more. Alcatel shakes the ever competitive Philippine Market with competition from international and local brands trying to keep up. For 6,499, Alcatel Flash Plus proves that quality device is not just about price.

On a side note, my unit had problems with WiFi as my router was just on the side of Flash Plus but it registers low signal. Another problem I encountered is its Hotspot feature, some devices cannot detect Flash Plus. I have tried two smartphones, the older Lumia 925 connected to it while the newer CM Luxe can't even detect it. Same results for Laptops, the old MSI Wind Netbook detected Flash Plus but Asus Transformer T100 did not. This my reason why I returned my unit for replacement. So better check yours...
