Samsung is not the first year already in the domestic mobile technology market. Its products are well known to domestic consumers. The company has a huge selection of models for every taste. The manufacturer is famous for its flagships and mass models of the middle price segment and budget. Devices always turn out to be high-quality and functional. And the question of the power of these gadgets is a completely separate topic. Even " state employees " can do a lot. Samsung J7 Neo also belongs to the budget segment. Owner reviews are supportive. And this means that it makes sense to disassemble its technical characteristics and functionality. But first, a few words about the manufacturer.
About company
The South Korean giant began its glorious path back in 1938. At that time, the company was producing household radios . Over time, the manufacturer mastered the production of other electronics. The company took up mobile devices just when this segment began to develop. Everyone is well aware of the legendary “ clamshell ” from “ Samsung ” from the late nineties and the beginning of the two thousandth. The very first smartphone on Android was released immediately after the release of the cult device from the NTS . At first, Samsung did not succeed, but over time, the company was able to become No. 1 producer. Proof of this is the powerful, functional and inexpensive Samsung J7 Neo. We will review reviews about it a little later.
Samsung is also known for its flagships. Based on the results of Rostest's verification , Galaxy S8 and its derivatives are recognized as the highest-quality smartphones of 2017. And these are not empty words. It should be noted that the budget devices of the company are of the same quality. Everyone has heard the eternal struggle of Koreans with Americans from Apple. And Samsung definitely wins this fight. Especially when you consider the market share held by the South Korean giant. The Cupertino manufacturer never dreamed of. Now let's take a closer look at the Samsung J7 Neo. Specifications and reviews will also be considered. Let's start with the design of the device.
Appearance
The design of the device is frankly Samsung . Its proprietary appearance does not give a chance to make a mistake regarding the device manufacturer. The front panel is protected by tempered glass, but the entire apparatus is made of plastic. Metal here is just a frame. But this is already not bad. The battery in the novelty is non-removable, the body is non-separable. But this is standard for all modern devices. Even the budget segment. Under the screen is a proprietary elongated Home button and two touch buttons for navigating. Above the screen is the earpiece mesh and the necessary sensors along with the front camera. Judging by the reviews, the Samsung J7 Neo 2017 is a classic representative of the devices of the South Korean manufacturer.
On the rear panel is the camera eye, flash, speaker and company logo. There are no frills like a fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor here. But it’s better. The simpler - the more reliable . The quality of the materials of the case, according to consumers, is quite high. Even though ordinary plastic is used. Mechanical controls (volume and power buttons) are in the usual places - on the right side. This is a classic layout of elements. Samsung decided it’s not worth reinventing the wheel. This is not a flagship. The budget device Samsung J7 Neo, reviews of which are replete with positive maxim, looks very good and without any fashionable “ bells and whistles ” . Now let's move on to the hardware component.
Iron characteristics
What is under the hood of our hero? Can it boast performance? The processor in this unit uses the eight-core Exynos manufactured by Samsung. It is worth noting that similar processors are used in the current flagships of the company. But this one is a little weaker. The maximum clock frequency is 1.6 gigahertz . Is it a lot or a little? For everyday tasks, such power is enough. The amount of RAM is 2 gigabytes. The internal memory available to the user is 16 gigabytes. But only 10 is available. With these characteristics, the gadget can easily pull many modern games. Although at the minimum graphics settings. This is the technical characteristics of the Samsung J7 Neo. Customer reviews about it confirm the veracity of the characteristics declared by the manufacturer .
But that is not all. The device supports two SIM cards and a micro SD card with a capacity of up to 128 gigabytes. What is especially valuable - the manufacturer decided not to supply the device with a newfangled " hybrid " slot. So the owners of this device are available all the charms at once: and two " SIM cards " , and a memory card. This is very important, since many companies now prefer hybrid slots, where you have to choose: either a second SIM card or a memory card. And this state of affairs is unacceptable. Why should we be artificially limited? The device is equipped with high-speed Wi-FI and Bluetooth transmitters and has support for the latest generation LTE communication standard. There is no NFC chip. And its presence in the budget model is not necessary at all. The reviews on the Samsung J7 Neo and its performance are mostly positive. And this is not surprising, given its technical characteristics.
Screen properties
The display here uses a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED panel. The main difference between this screen technology from others is the presence of rich and vibrant colors. Especially the " amoleds " manage to display full black . The standard screen resolution is HD (1280 by 720 pixels). The pixel density per inch is also decent. In any case, to consider individual pixels, according to reviews, with the naked eye is almost impossible. The colors are somewhat cold in standard. But with the help of the built-in settings, the color temperature can be corrected to almost perfect. The reading mode is very interesting. When you turn it on, the screen becomes similar to E-Ink, which is used in popular " readers " . Thanks to this technology, the eyes will not be so tired when using the smartphone for a long time.
Screen protection
The screen sensor recognizes 10 simultaneous touches. This is a standard result for almost all devices. To ensure safety in everyday use, the display is covered with tempered Corning Gorilla Glass. However, sticking a protective film (or even glass) does not hurt: you never know what. In general, the best screen in its class is the Samsung J7 Neo. User feedback on this subject is unambiguous: the screen is simply excellent. In addition to correctly displaying colors, AMOLED technology has another advantage: it helps to make the entire smartphone more energy efficient. These matrices " eat " very little energy, which positively affects the autonomy of the gadget. And now this is a " sore subject. " However, let's move on to the cameras of the device.
Main camera
Now let's talk about the main camera of the Samsung J7 Neo. Reviews of the photos say that the camera module does not shine with special " chips. " Sony uses a 13-megapixel photo module from Sony with autofocus and a two-section LED flash as the main sensor. No image stabilization. As well as the manual shooting mode. This is a simple camera that shoots everything on the machine. Naturally, photographs taken by this module cannot pretend to be highly artistic. However, for everyday shooting, this camera is quite suitable. In daylight, the device copes with images quite well. But when even a slight twilight descends on the city, things take a bad turn. The camera is clearly lacking in aperture. As a result , numerous noise and interference in the pictures. In the dark , it’s better not to use the camera at all.
Front-camera
The front module has a 5 megapixel sensor and is equipped with autofocus. This is all, there is nothing more remarkable in it. Except, perhaps, built-in means of beautyization (improvement). However, any sane person will not use them, because they work very badly. Be that as it may, the capabilities of the front camera are quite enough to post your pictures on Instagram. Communication via video via Skype or some other program is also available. The interlocutor will see you clearly . As you can see, cameras are not a particularly strong point of this smartphone. But let's not forget that it belongs to the budget category. Therefore, one does not have to wait for flagship capabilities from his cameras. It’s good that they even exist there.
Battery and battery life
The device is equipped with a Li - Ion battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh. What does it mean? This means that the device should have an impressive battery life based on its technical characteristics and the presence of an AMOLED screen. And indeed it is. According to reviews, the Samsung J7 Neo is able to live without recharging 2.5 - 3 days. This is almost an absolute record among devices of this class. Of course, the optimization of the device’s operating system with its hardware also plays an important role here. But, for the most part, “ pulls ” the battery. For such technical characteristics, a decent capacity . This is what ensures the " long life " of the device.
Smartphone Reviews
Now let's move on to the opinion of users about the device. Many say that the Samsung Galaxy J7 Neo silver looks extremely unfortunate. Owner reviews are unequivocal: thanks to this coloring, it looks wretched and quickly gets dirty. But the appearance will be left overboard. Another thing is interesting. How does the gadget work in real conditions? And here , Samsung was on top. Without exception, all owners note high speed, lack of brakes, glitches and other troubles. This is very good news. A little frustrated users of the device’s camera. But it normal. But frequent complaints that the manufacturer does not update the software are serious . But this is the famous sin of Samsung. And to do anything with him is not possible.
Conclusion
So, we took apart the entry-level smartphone Samsung J7 Neo. Reviews about it are mostly positive. So, the Samsung company managed to produce a high-quality, functional and inexpensive device. But as always. Users say this is an excellent gadget for work and entertainment. And it will be relevant for another two years at least.
