In the last few years, Samsung has introduced smartphones with good specifications and metal body in every price segment. Apart from the old Galaxy C7, the Galaxy C7 Pro also has many features of the Galaxy C9 Pro. Talking about the design of metal body, there is nothing new in it. At 7 millimeters thick, it’s thicker than the Galaxy C7 but it’s one of the thinnest handsets on the market.
Galaxy C7 Pro comes in Gold and Navy Blue colors. Both the color variants look attractive and this is one of the ways in which you can differentiate between this smartphone and the Galaxy C9. The phone has metal on the sides, and antenna lines at the top and bottom on the rear. The phone has a volume button on the left side while a power button and hybrid dual SIM tray is on the right side. There is a USB Type-C port at the bottom and a speaker grill on its right side while a 3.5 mm audio jack is on the left. The phone fits easily in the hand. It weighs 172 grams and does not feel heavy. We will give our verdict regarding the build quality and convenience of the phone only after a detailed review.
Talking about the display, the Galaxy C7 Pro has a 5.7-inch 1080 pixels Super AMOLED screen which comes with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4. It can be called decent for a phone of this price. Samsung is known for its sharp and vibrant displays, and this phone did not disappoint us. The display is bright and there was no problem in using it even in sunlight.
But, the Galaxy C7 Pro runs on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow instead of Nougat. This device has a 2.2 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 626 processor. The phone has 4 GB RAM. In our short time spent with the phone, we did not face any problems and the interface was also good. Apps open fast and, as expected, multitasking is easy from a new premium device.
Galaxy C7 Pro has a 16-megapixel sensor for front and rear cameras. Both cameras come with aperture F/1.9. The same camera setup was also given in Galaxy C9 Pro. The cameras are capable of recording Full HD video at 30 frames per second. Apart from this, other features include phase detection auto focus, a camera bun and many beautify effects.
Samsung has given 3300 mAh battery in Galaxy C7 Pro. This phone has 64 GB inbuilt storage, which can be expanded up to 256 GB via microSD card. We couldn’t test the battery life in the short time we spent with the handset, so we’ll have to wait until we have a detailed review to pass judgment.
The new Galaxy C7 Pro smartphone priced at Rs 27,990 will compete with smartphones like Vivo V5 Plus, OnePlus 3T and Oppo F3 Plus. Stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for our detailed review to read more about the Galaxy C7 Pro’s performance, build quality, camera quality, and battery life.
