Galaxy-J7Speed

Earlier today, Samsung launched its much anticipated 2016 variants of the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 in India. The handsets are slightly toned down versions of their Chinese variants, though they do feature almost the same exact set of internal specifications and features.

Both handsets will go on sale in India from tomorrow and have been priced pretty competitively, with only a couple of grands settings the two phones apart. So, what exactly does that extra money get you on the J7? We compare the tech specs of the Galaxy J5 and J7 to find out.
