Samsung is holding a press event in Gurgaon, India later today. The firm is expected to use the conference as an opportunity to launch its souped-up variant of the Galaxy J7 (2016) in the region following its successful release in Vietnam a little over three weeks ago.
The Galaxy J7 Prime will be sold alongside the original Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J7 (2016). It will carry a slightly steeper price tag of INR 18,790 ($282), and will pack a 5.5-inch full HD display, an 8MP selfie snapper, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of flash storage and a biometric scanner.
Aside from these minor alterations, the handset is pretty much identical to its predecessor, the Galaxy J7 (2016), in terms of specifications. It's completely different from an aesthetic perspective, though. Samsung has finally ditched the dreadful plastic unbody in favor of a more durable and robust aluminium frame.
If you're based in India and like the sound of the Galaxy J7 Prime, be sure to check back as we'll let you know as soon as it's up for grabs.
