The camera can record 1080p videos with 30 fps. Casual photographers should be content with the picture quality, though. Pictures taken in darker surroundings tend to become blurry quite quickly. The rear camera, which has an LED flash, takes good pictures in daylight, although the darker areas of the pictures are relatively weakly illuminated, despite a fast F1.9 aperture. We suspect that it has the same camera module as its smaller sibling, the Galaxy J5 (2016), because system information apps such as AIDA64 identify both rear camera sensors as "SLSI_S5K3L2", a CMOS sensor made by Samsung.

The metal frame also makes the case very solid, which was, in our test, practically immune to bending and twisting of any sort. Because the chassis of the Galaxy J7 (2016) is made of an aluminum frame and plastic back, it feels significantly more premium than the completely plastic Galaxy J7.

If you put the 5.5-inch Samsung Galaxy J7 and Galaxy J7 (2016) smartphones next to each other, it is very easy to confuse them, since they both have the same case design. The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) is of course also part of the comparison. In our review, the Galaxy J7 (2016) will compete with similarly priced and specced rivals: Included are the Honor 5X, the Huawei P9 Lite and the Sony Xperia XA.

Overall, Samsung has gone easy on the upgrade and by not completely reinventing the Galaxy J7, except for the internals. The manufacturer has not changed the underlying direction: Like its predecessor, officially priced at 260 Euros (~$277), the more or less equally priced Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) aims to appeal to selfie enthusiasts in particular, with its 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera.
