We recently got our hands on one of Samsung’s upcoming devices for the Philippines, the Galaxy J7 Pro. It’s the cousin of the Galaxy J7 (2017) with some differences. Let’s check it out in our first impressions below.
The Galaxy J7 Pro looks just like the Galaxy J7 (2017) that was recently announced. One the front, it has a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display, along with the earpiece and 13MP camera with LED flash placed just above it.
Down below are the physical home button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner, and a couple of capacitive keys on its left and right side for navigation. Mounted on top of the whole thing is a scratch-resistant glass with curved edges.
Placed on its left side are the power/lock button and the loudspeaker.
While on the right are the volume buttons and a couple of trays that can accommodate two SIM cards and a microSD card, which is a good thing.
Down at the bottom, are the microphone, microUSB port (versus the USB-C on the J7 2017), and headset jack.
Flip it on its back and you’ll see the 13MP camera and LED flash. Also visible here are two antenna bands which actually looks good on the device as it gives character to an otherwise plain-looking back.
On the hand, the J7 Pro looks and feels premium thanks to its metal unibody design. Meaning when you hold, all you are touching is glass and metal. The rounded edges and corners also make it comfortable in the hands.
What’s missing on the J7 Pro though is splash-resistance which is a handy feature to have. The rest are similar such as the Exynos 7870 CPU, 3GB RAM, Android Nougat, and 3,600mAh battery.

hi, pwede magtanung, yung front cam kasi naka mirror sya wala bang unmirror?????
It is pre-installed application sir..ganun naman talaga lahat..even iphone 2gbram free,even it says 2gb lng cya visible (but technically it is around 3-4gb not visible) kaya ganun na din cya kamahal..sa ibang phone kc visible 4gb pro yung free, around 1.8gb, sa 3gbram around 1.2gb free
I have my new samsung j7 pro with 32gb internal storage. But i have noticed almost half of the storage was consumed by user data even though i just have 1gb apps and no any other media saved in my device. How does it happen that my free storage is more or less 18gb?
Just bought mine and dissapointed ng konti sa camera as compared to my current HuaweiP9. Satisfied nmn ako sa price nya at sa dual active SIM plus microSD as compared to my HP9.
sa tingin ko the term PRO refers to the “camera” , phone manufacturers ngayon tinatarget nila ung mahilig mag selfie-groufie-fietang ina.. mas maganda capture ng cam sabi nila haha. regardless the overall performance ng phone. ok lang naman ung china phones kahit mawala o masira at least mura, maka txt & call ka lang. :P

bought J7 Pro and I LOVE IT!
Ask ko Lang Maganda ba talaga gmitin Ang amsung j7 pro? Naghahanap kasi ako Ng bagong phone kaya medyo busisi talaga Ang pagbabasa ko para worth Ang pagbili ko. .Thanks!
For me I am satisfied with my purchase. For starters i am not a heavy-user. So hindi ako nakaka experience ng heating problem. My Most used apps are fb, messenger, browser, and instagram. I also dont use my j7 pro for games.
Pros:
•Always on Display is useful for me. Kasi di ko na kailangang buksan ang phone para malaman kung may noti.
•photo quality is good even in low light.
Major Con for me is that the front cam is always on auto focus. If your hands are not steady high chance na blurry ang shots. But the quality is great, better actually than my friend’siphone 6. So to get that perfect selfie/groufie you really need steady hands. Practice makes perfect cguro, nasanay na rin ako katagalan.
So these are my opinions lang naman. :)
malaki ang difference ng J7 Prime/J7 sa J7 Pro… sa J7 Prime TFT lang ang display.. Super Amoled sa J7 Pro.. battery 3600 sa PRO at 3300 lang sa Prime… sa network 2CA na ang Pro.. sa Prime hindi.. then sa camera both 13mp with led flash ang rear at front.. ang Prime 13/8mp read/front… big factor ang Capture The Night features ng J7 Pro… check nyo sa Samsung site.. or sa ibang website na nagbibigay ng comparative analysis sa mga mobile phones… kung mas upgraded ang gusto nyo.. get Samsung A7 2017…
So far iilan lang ung nakita kong maaayos na comment. Puro bobong comments halos lahat. Hahaha.. Obvious na ung difference ayaw pang maniwala, eh di bumili kau ng lahat ng phone para malaman nyo. Syempre kanya kanyang marketing strat ang mga companies. Hays.. Akala ko makakatulong pagbada ko ng comments.
Hi po ask q lng nagbiblink po ba tlga ang flash at torchlight ng j7 pro.thanks…
haha china daw ang vivo….shet
Vivo is a Chinese brand.. haha shet
Vivo is chinese. Haha shet.. nagmarunong
Oo china po ang vivo. Hindi lang po yan, pati Oppo, Xiaomi, Lenovo, Asus, Huawei, Meizu, lahat po yan chinese phones/brands.
Nokia ay from Finland
LG & Samsung from Korea
Apple from California
Downside ng j7 pro walang notification light pero kapalit nmn ay always on display..hindi pa malinaw kung gorilla glass screen nya..pero sulit sakin dahil may free woofer ako na worth3k at matagal malowbat nung nag games ko mg medium details ng heroes evolved, mobile legend at coc
downgrade agad palibhasa kc ang alam nyo lng n specs is ram and internal they really dont know qng anong lpddr ng ram qng anong ginamit n processor and gpu.. no nid n rin po ng led light pag my notifications kc po laos n un my always on display n po nkikita n po dun ang mga notifications nyo..

eto pakicheck :)
Gorilla glass din ba ang j7 pro
daming mga tanga, ano daw ikina “pro” neto versus sa j7 2016. marunong ba kayo magbasa ng specs mga bobo?
Sa lahat ng sinasabi na non-sense ang upgrade ng j7 pro did u do ur research well? Obvious kayong mga C-brand promoter/lover/Whatever. Oppo at Vivo bukod sa parehas ba China brand at factory madali pang malobat. Pinagmamalaki nyo na malinaw yung camera kasi ang ganda nyo sa camera ang puti purong filter kase. At ang isa pang malupit, kahit anung model ng c-brand nyo kahit taasan pa nila ng 10GB ram nyan DDR1 lang naman meaning The cheapest veraion ng Ram. J series nga DDR2 na F3 nyo DDR1 Pa din kaya pansin nyo pa-open nyo ng 3 apps si oppo hindi na nya kaya kasi maghahang na XD. Si Samsung lang po ang may pinaka mataas na DDR version na makikita nyo po sa s7 at S8.
haha china daw ang vivo….shet
@walang kwenta, call and text kalang naman pala, bakit hindi di-pindot na cellphone ang i-promote mo. bobo…
i agree though, i bought my new j7 pro.
gives me all i need from a SMART CAMERA PHONE.
oppo and vivo are most likely the same lang cla. tingnan mo naman cla parang iphone rip-off lang kasi almost the same na yung OS nila..
.Does it have led light notification?
What makes the Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro stand out of the crowd is the design of the antenna bands at the top and bottom of the rear panel coupled with the flushed camera module, which is surely a head turner, though the front of the device resembles strongly with Galaxy S7
May flash sa front cam. Nougat instrad na marshmallow. F1.7 sa rear cam instead of f2.2. 3600mah battery instead na 3300.
Dual LTE sim capable din ba or sim2 2G capable lang
Sabi sa gsmarena spec sheet, 64gb ang internal storage ng j7 pro. Pakiverify please. Thanks.
Oo nga. Sabi 64gb ang internal memory ng j7 pro
bat ganun ??sa gsm 64 dito sa pilipinas 32.
Nagbabasa ka ba talaga? Baka tumingin ka lang?
pro – porong tang* lang, hahaha
I thought it would be an UPGRADE. Well. non sense phone. goodluck
mag Oppo or vivo na lang muna ako
Walang pumipilit sayo kung hindi mo afford :(
Ano ang ikina-“pro” nyan, samantalang downgrade from j7. Kapag “pro” kasi dapat mas mataas.
Pano mo nasabing downgrade . Mas upgraded na po sia

What he meant was that it’s a downgrade from the J7 2017
Prcl…boss hinde type c ang usb port ng j7 pro. Ang type c ay ang j7 2017.

Chicken Glass Lang po sya.
So what’s the main difference from the J7 Prime?
Micro usb charging and lack of splash resistance om j7 pro
