Samsung Galaxy J7 (2018) - User Reviews

  • Call receive automatically/send when phone in pocket. How to stop it. Please help me.

  • I got the android 9.0 update and one ui

  • Mines has android pie and one ui

  • Mine got upgraded to Pie on 10/4/19 from Metro/T-Mobile.

  • Yea it does

  • Wow. It actually got Android 9.0.

  • It won't. And the funny thing is, the J7 Sky and the J7 Pro from 2017 are getting Android 9.

  • This is such a downgrade from the J7 (2017). This has TFT display, and only a 720p screen. It also only has 2 GB of RAM, but oh, look, the 2017 version had 3 GB. And guess which version is getting Android 9.0 Pie? You guessed it, the 2017 version. What's even the point of this phone?

  • Did Samsung fix your problems? I just ordered one of these (SM-J737UZKAXAA) and I'm wondering what to expect. Won't ship until 06/28/19. Perhaps they're working out bugs?

  • I just ordered this from Samsung, model SM-J737UZKAXAA (unlocked). Won't ship until 06/28/19. Any idea of specific changes to this model?

  • Will this phone get Android Pie?

  • The refine works with GSM/LTE networks?

  • No, the refine has the 7884.

  • There actually is a model with the Exynos 7885 chipset. The J7 refine.

  • 7870 chipset for the GSM models and 7884 chipset for CDMA models. No models have the 7885 chipset.

  • hi i used J7 and it keep on frozen. and it is frustration now i lose everything that i save on this phone

  • 7885 Chip Set

  • I agree! I had the 2017 model of the J7 and it was an awesome phone. Upgraded to the 2018 model and have had nothing but issues with it. Doesnt show when I have voicemail notifications at all! I have to go into my voicemails daily to check it and see if I have any and apparently no one knows why. Keys and icons not responsive either. Sometimes it takes tapping on an icon 4 or 5 times to get app to open. Should have just stuck with the 2017 phone. Didnt have these issues whatsoever.

  • It still has face recognization.

  • It is 13mp.

  • no

  • I have this phone, and it's so bad. I can't even play a proper game.

  • FM Radio = yes on the SM-J737T1 (Samsung Galaxy J7 Star)

  • fm radio = yes

  • It's because this had a TFT LCD display

  • It's not a good phone only 2GO in ram 32GO rom and 200 EURO!!!

  • Because this phone specially designed for usa not worldwide

  • i got the simple mobile j7 crown for $99, definately a bargain.

  • Horrible Value. $200 new and the 2GB RAM just kills it. the 720p screen, Ehhh, Okay its not THAT bad. but the previous, cheaper model had a full 1080p display. but once again the 2GB RAM ruins it. Snapchat or pandora, take your pick, cant have them both. google maps or snapchat, again take your pick. any game or messenger, take your pic. camera isnt too bad, but is especially bad in low light

  • J7 2017 super amoled display j7 2018 tft

  • What??????

  • Not this one

  • How come the 2017 model is better in every aspect than the 2018 model? this is absolute trash

  • Hello what about chipset details and CPU speed details in specification, why these details are hidden and missed in galaxy J7 model

  • Dude what u talking about. its 13 and 13

  • I like the physical buttons for more screen

  • I don't want any permission setting in my phone

  • Why doesn't it have Always on Display? It was on the JUST (2017), you can't just remove a feature.

  • What does GSM Arena mean by "Sensors - Yes"? I need to see/know what sensors are onboard otherwise I'll give a low rating.

  • Any updates with specs ?? hays

  • camera is 8MP from samsung website

  • Is the battery removable ?

  • Korean stuff is always good especially samsung

  • Is that all ??? :(

  • Not good

  • Chipset?

  • 2018 ... Samsung still uses front central physical button on their phones ... 2011 - HTC Wildfire S -> full touch controls

  • This device has Exynos 7884

  • Did you play game with this phone?

  • Samsung Galaxy J7 (2018) smartphone was launched in June 2018. Great Phone

  • I bought this phone samsung j7 last month.The phone is not satisfactory at all,it get heated easily and the battery is not lasting.The worst is that it is very hard to charge.The surprising thing is that i pluged the phone for past 12hrs and it just add 9%.

  • nice phone

  • It gets heated very fast.

  • more information, please

  • bought 1month ago foune hanging, somntime it get switched off automatically

  • Has no fingerprint sensor? Which is best Samsung smartphone WITHOUT fingerprint sensor? Thanks

  • Im pretty sure this uses usb c and if you use your old phones charger it might not work. also dont complain about it if you didnt use the accessory that came with it

  • awesome with divine grace blessing . awesome phone

  • Got this phone yesterday samsung j7 thing is the biggest pile of shit, the battery won't charge has it plugged last night and gained only 7% of battery in 11hrs. I plugged it in the same plug in that I plugged my old phone into.

  • Hi.this phone specially designed for USA and not release in international model.

  • I agree with you this picture and specs are fake the j7 2018 i saw on YouTube had the infinity display with curved screen so I guess we'll have to wait and see which one it is

  • why no coming until now .. the release July 2018 .

  • I have an SM-737T and I don't think it has an AMOLED display. TFT probably. The display is not anywhere as good as my SM-G900T.

  • Omg i cant believe they bringed back 720× resolution...j7 2017 much better

  • So many midrange phones! XD

  • no fingerprint??? no other colors available ?? maybe low resolution at display...

  • Why is the specs list so incomplete? For the chipset all it says is octa core.

  • Make samung j7 2018 same specs as samsung j7 2017 but with removable battery

  • for example, I ´d expect a missed call/text notification light , like in any 2004 flip phone.

  • If you want better phone, you need to spend more $ dude :) what do you expect from this phone? it only cost you 200~300 bucks

  • This phone is only cost 200~300 USD.. don't expect too many things guys.. If you want batter specs, seriously you need to buy Samsung S series for 700~800 bucks :)

  • beutifull bezels. 16:9 ratio in 2018.......

  • Please my phone as being lock for a two weeks so I need you guys for help... can you guys help me?

  • This phone isnt fake its filtrated but the relading date is wrong i read about September. The phone is not recommendable altough the j7 2017 is almost equal. Sorry for my bad English i am from spain

  • I dont get it. It says its going to be released sometime in July 2018. Its mid of July now and not even slightest specs are known for sure 100%. Is this a joke, rumour or other some kind rip off? I mean, phone specs shouldve been known like atleast 3 month prior to release, now its just empty spec sheet. And picture thats included is fake too, no way this how J7 2018 would look like. Even new J6 looks way better, but is meant to be on lower level compared to J7. Anyone has any additional info about this model? Im having thoughts that this phone wont even come out as 2018 model.

  • Slight improvement over last year's J7, hopefully they include more RAM as well.

  • nice mobile

  • Where the Ram specification at?

  • Samsung must have forgotten they made a better phone last years. If the specs here are true then it will be a big miss for samsung.

  • j7 pro far better specifications in 2017 j7 2018 is downgrade version I desided to go for other brand

  • OMG J7 Pro is 100% better

  • Why does this have a poorer screen than the J7 2017?

  • I'll buy this phone if the ram is 4gb

  • Buy j7 pro

  • correct

  • Good lowest midrange j2 2018 Good moderate midrange j7 2016 Good high midrange j7 pro At all models don,t install updates and you will be stisfied

  • It has similar features like J5 (2017). This company just revise price and replace name with very little change in model. Beware!

  • If you want Samsung with the new trend, wait for J6. Otherwise, Xiaomi Redmi 5 series, Asus Zenfone 5 (not z), and Huawei Nova 2i. (Everybody can suggest more than mine)

  • c7 pro is one of the best midranges

  • any suggestions for a good midrange phone?

  • Absolutely correct...! Samsung's mid range devices are trash.

  • Yes this phone is for fools.

  • please come out from stone age.

  • You are so right MacBeth! E.g. look at the display properties... Sad... (https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=­8675&idPhone2=9234)

  • this is the 2017 j7 that was sold in india... why would anyone buy this when they can get much better phone in the same price range

  • Only a fool will buy this such 2017 like designed phone, and not thinking much cheaper ones with better specs to say.

  • I only love Samsung's flagships, not midrange trash phones. XD

  • This phone is a huge disappointment. The J7 (2017) is even better!

  • ugly

  • Samsung game end

  • what about soc and soc & dimensions ?!

  • Samsung has a no option to realise the new phones and new models. What was 2018 j7. They don't have any kind of ideas in there minds lolz

  • Those bezels in 2018. Really? This phone is probably going to cost as much as a Moto G6. Shamesung doing shamesung stuff.

  • They are stoking experience of other .. This way they survived ...

  • no infinity ? why ?

  • Samsung is Samsung guys,many chinese phone available in the market but Samsung is the trustable product in current technology.

  • Interesting...Chinese phones are having better specs in every new model, and Samsung phones are getting worst every year....And they are wondering why Samsung market share is getting smaller...LOL

  • it's clear that samsung is kidding..or deceiving users! ..idon't know

  • Wait a moment: does it have an edge screen? It looks like that on the pictures

  • This will cost same price as Mi 2 from Xiaomi with clean adroid free of bloatware and much better CPU GPU Ram etc. What do you think people will buy more?

  • CLAP !! CLAP !!! CLAP !!! how ironic 2018 down grade version or Samsung's 2017 model like J3 2018 and J7 2018 keep recycling Samsung .. im disappointed with this .. im a Samsung fanboy but this what a Prank!!

  • because Samsung realized that there "future PROOF" (old and outdated) chipset canNOT handle FHD (look at the benchmarks) or maybe FHD for Samsung was Sooo AWESOME it most be only used high end (BUT not as AWESOME as the HD+ INFINITY display};$)

  • J7 2017 has a 1080p display and J7 2018 will have 720p display... What....

  • never success
