Samsung Galaxy J7+ with dual-camera system is official

IT was only a matter of time. After being leaked in its full glory, Samsung’s second smartphone with a dual-camera setup — and the first in its midrange lineup — is finally official in Thailand. This is the Samsung Galaxy J7+.

Priced at 12,900 baht (around P19,869 or $389), the device boasts 13- and 5-megapixel sensors paired with f/1.7 and f/1.9 aperture lens, respectively. Live Focus — Samsung’s answer to Apple’s Portrait Mode which we first saw in the Note 8 — is here, too. That means you’ll be able to focus on your subject and make the background blurry.

As expected, the Samsung Galaxy J7+ comes with its own Bixby Home digital assistant. However, it does not have the rumored dedicated Bixby button.

Here is a black Samsung Galaxy J7+ with a red OPPO R11, as leaked on Weibo before days before the Korean company’s dual-camera smartphone became official.

This J series phone has almost the same dimensions as the P15,990 ($313) Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro. Both likewise have 5.5-inch full-HD Super AMOLED displays that are always on; 2.5D glass and full-metal bodies; fingerprint sensors; and 32GB of internal storage with an option to expand the memory up to 256GB.

The Samsung Galaxy J7+ has a 5.5-inch full-HD Super AMOLED screen that is always on.

However, you’ll be getting 4GB of RAM and a 3,000mAh battery here as opposed to the J7 Pro’s 3GB of RAM and 3,600mAh cell.

Samsung has not revealed what kind of octa-core processor is powering the J7+, but previous leaks and the 2.39GHz frequency point to a smartphone that is powered by a Mediatek Helio P20. Interesting.

As for availability in the Philippines, the company has not announced if the device will be rolled out to local stores. If it is, we’re guessing that its price will probably be between P17,990 ($352) to P19,990 ($391). What do you think?
