Cons of the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro
Lack of USB Type-C port – Even though the device is priced at 20, 900 INR, it still lacks a USB Type-C charging port as it only comes with the micro USB port.
No fast charging – Another bad point of this device doesn't support ‘Fast Charge' or ‘Quick Charge'.
Lack of 4K video resolution – Even though the built-in social camera is a great option, however, when it comes to video mode, the device takes a few minus points. As found out, the device doesn't support 4k video recording as it is only found to support FHD, 1:1, HD and VGA.
Absence of glass protection – The Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro doesn't come with any Corning Gorilla Glass or any form of scratch resistant technology. It is for this reason that you have to buy a sturdy case or even a tampered glass in order to protect the device, should you decide to buy it.
Heaviness – The device weighs 181 grams and as you can see, it is a bit on the heavy side. Even though it is slim and has a 3600mAh battery, it would have been better if the weight factor was worked on a bit more.
What's the verdict? Should you buy it or not?
The Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro, overall, is a great device. Coupled with the processor, AMOLED screen, software and with the addition of the social camera, it makes a great buy. However, for a device that is priced at 20, 900 INR, it could have done a lot better. For instance, some of the competitors of Samsung – Xiaomi, Motorola – are also offering the same specs, albeit with a few more tricks and that too, with a low price tag, the Samsung Galaxy J7 clearly lies at a disadvantage. But if you think that the integration of Samsung Pay and the social camera is worth the extra bucks, then, by all means, go for the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro.
