Samsung launched the Galaxy J7 Prime in Vietnam about a month ago and later launched this handset in India as well alongside the Galaxy J5 Prime. This mid-range handset has now been officially launched in the Philippines as well. The company has also confirmed when it's going to start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy J7 Prime online.
The Galaxy J7 Prime touts a 5.5-inch full HD TFT display with an Exynos 7870 octa-core processor under the hood aided by 3GB RAM, 16GB storage as well as a 3,300mAh battery. The handset also features a 13-megapixel rear and 5-megapixel selfie camera aside from a microSD card slot, dual-SIM slot, LTE and fingerprint sensor. The Galaxy J7 Prime comes with the S Secure feature which enables users to protect images, apps and Wi-Fi networks using the fingerprint sensor. An advanced battery saving feature called S Battery Planning is also onboard.
Samsung is going to start taking pre-orders for the Galaxy J7 Prime online in the Philippines tomorrow. It's yet to confirm the local price. The device costs around $280 in India so expect it to cost around the same in the Philippines.
