The Samsung Galaxy On7 Out of the Box Review
Galaxy On7 flaunts the traditional Galaxy design. The best feature in the design aspect is the usage of metal frames, which give the handsets a sturdy feel. Both Galaxy On7 and Galaxy On5 look identical from front and back panels. There is no visible difference between these two handsets apart from the screen size. Galaxy On7 comes with the signature physical Home button placed just below the screen, accompanied by the capacitive buttons for Back and Recents. A Samsung logo is also engraved above the screen with the front camera and the sensors. The rear end of the phone holds a leather-styled finish, and here you’ll notice the primary camera, LED flash, and speaker grille. The volume rocker button is located on the left side of the device, while the power button is on the right.
The display of Galaxy On7 is not the usual AMOLED panels and the difference was vivid. The text and images produced on the Galaxy On5 was sharp, but the traditional deep blacks were missing. The viewing angles of the handset were also average.
In the limited time we spent with the Galaxy On7, we found that the device responded quickly to touch inputs, and there was no lag while using the handset. While browsing through the menu and preloaded apps, one of the biggest notable fact we observed that there is a lot less of Samsung’s Bloatware present in the phone than the other Galaxy devices. The Galaxy On7 comes with only a few preloaded apps following Samsung’s recent trend started with the Galaxy S6. Also, there are no Microsoft apps preloaded on the handsets. Galaxy On7 also features a Google folder on the home screen housing all the Google apps.
Coming to the camera aspect, the camera app of the Galaxy On7 was fast and launched within a few seconds of touching the icon. The camera interface is uncluttered. The option to select modes, capture images or video, switch between the front and rear cameras, and jump to the gallery are all located on one side of the screen while the other side flaunts the general settings of the camera.
The limited testing chances we got with the Galaxy On7 camera, we found the images taken with the phone in normal indoor lighting is sharp and crisp unlike its sibling. The front camera was also average.
