A Great Product...worth the value...!!!Akshay Bhai (Sep 7, 2016) on Gadgets 360 RecommendsAmazing phone with quiet good specs. Camera quality is very good, outdoor pictures are awesome on this. Battery lasts for the whole day with regular usage. Heavy apps runs quiet smooth, though it lags on very heavy apps. Multitasking is flawless and the Display is the best outcome of this product. I bought it at a discount, you can too if you want...i will provide the link, just copy and paste the below URL in your broswer... https://technologypressblog.wordpress.com/2016/09/07/samsung-galaxy-j7/Is this review helpful?

J7 SMART SET WITH HEATING PROBLEM !!!Pal Babu (May 18, 2016) on Gadgets 360The J7 set is very smooth to operate....both the Camera, processor, battery back-up are wonderful. Good worth for money. Only set back of the set, what I feel, is too much heating problem. After 5-6 minutes of continuous operation, the set will start heating. Also Ring Tone sound is also very low. One major issue, I purchased J7 on mid April-2016. After 2 weeks, it was notices that the 1st SIM slot is not working with a particular mobile operator. Rest are working. When I was visited my nearest Samsung Service Center, they also surprised about the problem. NO SOLUTION FROM THEM. I can put 3.5 out of 5.Is this review helpful?
