Samsung Galaxy J5 and J7 heading to India

The smartphones are built from Samsung’s familiar design language, but the new selling feature is a 5MP front facing camera with an LED flash and 120-degree wide-angle lens, designed especially for the selfie lovers. While that might not sound overly impressive on its own, the price tags of just Rs. 11,999 ($290) and Rs. 14,999 ($255) make the two quite competitive.

The Galaxy J5 is the cheaper of the two and it comes with a 5-inch HD (720p) display, 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB on internal memory, microSD card slot and a 13 megapixel rear camera. There’s also 4G LTE Dual SIM support, a 2,600mAh battery and Android 5.1 Lollipop on board.

The J7 features the majority of the same specifications, but comes with a larger 5.5-inch display with the same 720p resolution, an upgraded octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, and a bigger 3,000mAh battery.

If the low price tag isn’t compelling enough, the two phones also come with Rs. 3200 worth of in-app purchase credit from Gameloft, Double data for Airtel customers on 4G for 6 months and offers on Airtel’s Wynk music for Rs. 594.

Flipkart will be selling the handsets exclusively come July 23rd, but pre-booking starts at 4PM today. The Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 are available in Black, White and Gold color options.
