  • It's ok.

    If you somehow got this before it got discontinued like me, you would know it's a decent phone. The battery will last a whole day but after owning it for a while you might have to charge it when you get home. It is by no means a great phone, but for the price you get it at you can deal with it.
    dropped it from decently high places without a crack yet and it took 2 years to get the first scratch.

    The phone that everyone had

    This cell phone was the most popular thing back in 2017 and 2018 in my country Argentina. I was able to try it on this cell phone and it is definitely a knockout, great build quality, a very good design, it came out with Android 6.0.1 and reached 8.1.1 Oreo with Samsung Experience improving the interface and adding more functionality. Angry Birds 2 was played without drama, without getting hot in the slightest, the fluidity of the system was very good!! The camera is good without being spectacular, in the selfie it does not capture full detail if you take a photo with several people it makes something of watercolor but not exaggerated, I feel that it captures the colors well, being less saturated than other Samsungs, the normal focus is not even fu nor fa. Personally, I think the front flash is appreciated, although it would have been nice if HDR was included as a function and not as a separate mode. It has NFC, the WiFi like all Samsung has a tremendous range at a distance and the Bluetooth worked 10 for me.

    Pros
    • Tremendous design
    • Screen quality
    • Fluency and performance
    • Battery
    • Personalization layer
    Cons
    • does not have automatic brightness
    • non-backlit capacitive keys
    • the camera's HDR is as a mode not as a function

    I had it a long time ago and it was not very good, I played a game with little demands and it still lag

    It was not very good and the processor was very slow, so slow that I couldn't even run a game with little demand, also the storage was not enough for me.

    I REGRET IT A LOT

    Do not buy this cell phone even for daily use since the processor is very bad, it only has 2 GB of ram, it crashes in light games for example Subway surfers, in everyday applications like google, Instagram, facebook, and even olx, battery can't handle any of these apps,

    Pros
    • for falls
    • Flashlight
    • Drums

    J7 2016

    For the basic use that I give it, it works well, since I use it as a second cell phone to view networks when I am at home. The battery is a marvel for being a 2016 cell phone, it lasts a lot. The only against that I see is its speaker, which is heard but it is not that high and the internal memory capacity, which I do not see as a against since at the time when it came to the market having 32GB or 64GB was a luxury of another range, today it is already basic. Its used price, for example in my country Argentina they ask between $ 12000 and $ 15000, and around $ 20,000 there are other new cell phones, with a guarantee. I bought it in December 2020 from a relative who had it again, and it is very careful.

    Pros
    • Good cell phone for basic use. Social media
    Cons
    • Talking
    • Internal memory capacity, although I clarified above
    • 6.6
    • Screen7.5

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
