Galaxy J5 and J7: Samsung’s First Selfie Phones Are Here

While Sony and others came up with their selfie-oriented smartphones as much as a full year back, it is only now that Samsung is releasing its own reply to those products with the release of the J5 and J7. Both of them sit in the lower and upper-midrange tiers, respectively.

Samsung has made sure both aren’t one-feature wonders though. The J5 comes with a quad-core 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor. Its older sibling comes with an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor. The J5 comes with a 5 inch display while the J7 ups it to a 5.5″ display. Both share 1.5 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage and have microSD cards to max it.

At the back sits 13 megapixel cameras with LED Flash and 1080p videos in both phones. It is on the front, above the display that the main feature of the phones sit: 5 megapixel cameras with LED Flashes. It is not the first 5 megapixel front unit on a Samsung phone, but it is the first one with LED Flash.

Both come with features like 4G, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1 and a choice of three colors. They should be available in the coming few months for $225 for the J5 and $290 for the J7.

Here are the specs of both the phones:

  • front LEd isn’t useful for selfie.
    I checked this front led on some phone but it was just like shashka. no effect on picture quality at night if you are at morethan 2 feet away.
    let’s see what samsung does.
    in my view dual led in front would be better or atleast 8mp camera
