Samsung has unveiled two high mid-range phones in its traditionally budget-minded J series. The two phones, J7 Pro and J7 Max, feature large displays and enough oomph to be formidable in the mid-range category.
The standout feature here should be the new Social Camera app, which allows quick sharing of photos to your closest contacts in social media, apart from offering AR and conventional filters. The J7 Pro and J7 Max also bring Samsung Pay further down the chain.
