Samsung Galaxy On7

The Samsung Galaxy ON7 is a mid-range phablet aimed at users who want a mid-range device but with an attractive design that attracts attention from the start. The Galaxy ON7 will be available in gold and white, with features that include a 5.5-inch HD panel, quad-core processor with 1.5 GB of RAM and above all a good rear camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels with an aperture of f /2.1. This article takes you through the features/characteristics and specifications of the Galaxy On7 as well as provides a Samsung Galaxy On7 review. You should also note that this is the counterpart to the Samsung Galaxy On5.

Design

The design is one of the strengths of this phone. Although this is a smartphone that is  between the l0w-range and mid-range, Samsung has put great care in building this model. Starting with the front of the two models, which can be golden or black with a metallic appearance. We also have sides with a metallic appearance (what is not clear is whether they are metal or plastic). But above all, we liked its casing which mimics the skin and is available in the same main colors (gold or black). It has a differential touch similar to that found in releases like the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and other smartphones.

As for the Samsung Galaxy ON7 measurements, we should mention that it is 8.2 mm thin. Its weight of 172 grams puts it slightly above the great releases, but these are still very competitive measurements.

Display

In the section of the screen we have a TFT type panel of 5.5 inches with HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This resolution sets the density at 267 dots per inch and offers a medium level of detail, it should be enough for  typical use of the phone or navigation of apps, but it may fall short when it comes to watching YouTube videos, movies or games with powerful graphics like the new Star Wars: Uprising game for Android.

Camera

Inside the photographic section, the device has a rear camera with a good resolution of 13 megapixels and an angle of aperture of f /2.1. This allows the sensor to capture a larger amount of light and take sharper pictures in low light conditions. Although Samsung has not specified at this point, it is expected that this smartphone is also capable of recording video in 1080p high resolution. On the front, the camera comes with 5 megapixels resolution with an aperture of f/2.2 for taking selfies.

Power

On the inside of the Samsung Galaxy ON7 is an Exynos processor with four cores and a power of 1.2 GHz. This chip is combined with 1.5 GB RAM. As we see, it is good enough to run most Android apps. Yes, you can notice a lack of performance in more powerful applications and games. And, added to that, the RAM does not allow for much of anything. If you are accustomed to opening many processes simultaneously, thing again.

Storage

The internal memory of Samsung Galaxy ON7 is 8 GB. If we set aside the space used for the operating system or applications, this smartphone leaves us with 4.9 GB of storage space for our personal files. If you need more space you can rely on a MicroSD memory card or online storage system.

Operating System 

The operating system chosen for this device is Android 5.1.1 Lollipop.This is the standard now across many Samsung smartphones. Keep in mind that the Android version 6 Marshmallow is only just taking off in the market, so it is likely that we still have to wait a few months for this version to reach mid range devices like this one. Android 5.1.1 Lollipop highlighted by the change in the appearance of the interface, with more rounded icons and use of a lot of color in the menus.

Applications

As with most smartphones it has access to a large ecosystem of Android apps with a large number of quality titles such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Clash of Clans, YouTube and you can even use two Instagram accounts on a single device with Instwogram.   Samsung also wanted to do their part in adding to the number of applications. Among them we emphasize on the Samsung Smart Manager to free up space or RAM in the phablet or Samsung Milk Music, a music platform brand that promises to be delightful.

Connections

The best news in this section is that the Samsung Galaxy ON7 supports 4G high-speed networks with up to 150 Mbps. In addition, we can also connect through WiFi to save on mobile data. Another connection that can give us a lot of options is Bluetooth 4.1, especially if we combine this with a smart accessory like one of the smartwatches, like the Samsung Gear S2 3G. The Samsung Galaxy ON7 completes its point of connectivity with GPS to navigate anywhere and a microUSB port for data transfer and charging. And of course there is the physical connection for headphones and speakers.

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy ON7 incorporates a battery of 3,000 milliamps. This is a capacity that is in the other mid-range models. According to official data from Samsung, this device achieves a range of up to 349 hours standby. It also has a talk-time of up to 11hrs on 3G.

Review

In short, the Samsung Galaxy ON7 is a smartphone that follows the increasingly widespread tendency to create low-end to mid-range devices with careful design. It also has a quality camera, which promises to give good photos.

Price

The Samsung Galaxy ON7 price is around 150 USD on international markets like India and China.
