Samsung has unveiled new 32GB storage models
of the Galaxy J5 Prime and Galaxy J7 Prime in India. The smartphones earlier
came in just 16GB storage and were launched back in September last year.
The South Korean company announced the availability
of the new storage model in a tweet. The company wrote, "Get more space
than before! GalaxyJ7 J5Prime now come in a 32GB variant for more room for your
favourites. Buy now!" in a tweet.
The all-new 32GB Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (Review)
will be available at Rs. 16,900 while the Galaxy J5 Prime is available at Rs.
14,900. As before, the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime and Galaxy J7 Prime will be on
sale via the company's online store as well as third-party offline stores. An
established Mumbai-based offline retailer had in April claimed that the new
32GB storage model was on sale though it seems to be official only now.
Apart from the inbuilt storage bump, there is
nothing new in the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime and Galaxy J7 Prime smartphones. For
specifications, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is powered by an octa-core Samsung
Exynos 7870 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz coupled with 3GB of RAM. It supports
expandable storage via microSD card of up to 256GB. The dual-SIM phone supports
dual Nano-SIMs with 4G connectivity on both, though only one can connect to 4G
at a time.
It features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920-pixel)
display. There's a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera with f/1.9 aperture and
an LED flash. There is also an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The phone has a
non-removable 3300 mAh battery. Connectivity options on the Galaxy J7 Prime
include GPRS/ EDGE, 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ac, GPS/A-GPS, Bluetooth, and
Glonass. Running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the Galaxy J7 Prime comes with
Samsung's own TouchWiz UI layered on top.
On the software front, the biggest highlight of the
Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is the new S Power Planning and S Secure features.
There is also an ultra-data saving mode and S bike mode, though both these
features have been seen on previous models. The handset is backed by a
non-removable 3300 mAh battery.
The Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime comes with similar
features and almost identical innards. Some of the major differences in the
Galaxy J5 Prime is it sports a 5-inch HD display, and packs a smaller sized
2400 mAh battery. Rest of the specifications are the same as its bigger sibling.
