Well its an upgrade version of the previous j7 so obviously its better than the old version. More things are included in it. Lets get into the details. So its battery is upgraded from 3000mah to 3300mah and the backup is really good. It has an upgrade of silver metallic lining in the edges which adds in the beauty of the phone. It comes with a beautiful 16mp rear camera and 5mp front. Camera quality is good in daylughts but the quality falls bad in the low light. Same with the front camera. Gives great photos during daylight but not so good in low light. Comes with 2gb ram and 16gb rom which is good enough but same is also provided by many other phones whose prices are much lower than j7. But brand matters right? Samsung is high priced because of the brand. Many phones with same features or more features are available under its price range. But ultimately, the decision will always be yours. And if you decide to buy this, believe me it will jot be a waste of money.
