Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 which is launched in India comes with 5.5 inch sAMOLED display with screen resolution of 1280×720 pixels. It provides good viewing angles and sunlight legibility. However, we are seeing many smartphones which are priced less than this smartphone featuring full HD resolution screen. Interestingly, the variant of Galaxy J7 2016 which is launched in other part of the world has full HD resolution. This is one of the biggest drawback of Galaxy J7 2016 according to us.
Lack of basic sensors
Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 has only Accelerometer, Hall Sensor and Proximity Sensor. There is no ambient light sensor. This sensor is useful for auto brightness adjustment. Also there is no compass sensor . This sensor is very useful while using the google maps navigation. As there is no Gyroscope sensor, you cannot use this device with VR headsets. All these sensors are available in the smartphones such as Le 2, Redmi Note 3, Honor 5c etc which are priced much lower than Galaxy J7 -6.
No secondary noise cancellation mic
This is another area Galaxy J7 -6 lags behind. The noise cancellation secondary mic is helpful when you are in crowded area. It reduces surrounding noise which interns provide better audio output to the person with whom you are talking to.
No Fingerprint scanner
Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 is priced at Rs.15, 990 in India. In recent times we are seeing smartphones which are priced below 10k featuring fingerprint scanner. It is sad to know that, Samsung is not providing fingerprint scanner on a device which is placed in the upper mid range smartphone segment.
No Gesture controls
Galaxy J7 2016 comes with touchwiz user interface on top of Android Marshmallow. Samsung has omitted all the gesture controls and multi windows options on this smartphone. Simple gestures like double tap to wake up also missing.
No LED notification Light
This is another drawback of Samsung Galaxy J7 2016. Having a LED notification light, helps a lot especially to know if there is a notification without even touching the device.
Navigation Keys are not backlit
This is another area Samsung tried to do cost cutting. When we are in dark area, having the navigation keys with backlight is very useful . Samsung devices has back key in the right side and multi tasking button in the left side. If you are using multiple smartphones, it takes a bit of time to get adjusted to it.
These are the some of the Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 Cons according to us. These drawback are very basic things. Considering the price, these are features we expect from smartphone in this segment. Hope Samsung fixes these Galaxy J7-6 cons in the next iteration
