Several leaks have given away the existence of the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) and Galaxy J5 (2016) in the past, but here we are with official information about them finally. These two mid-range devices have been listed by the company on its Chinese website, albeit without any pricing information.

Samsung has equipped the larger Galaxy J7 (2016) with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display which offers its visuals in 1080p full HD resolution. It benefits from the prowess of a 1.6GHz octa core processor which has been paired with 3GB worth of RAM.
