The handset will belong to the company's phablet lineup of smartphones since it features a 5.5 inch display that renders a resolution of 720p.

Surprisingly, the mobile chipset present inside the smartphone does not belong to Samsung or Qualcomm; it belongs to Marvel.

A 13 megapixel rear camera is present and is going to be complemented by a 5 MP front camera sensor. Though Galaxy J7 is expected to feature an LTE modem; information concerning which Category type that modem will belong to is currently unavailable.

Thanks to its phablet sized form factor, the smartphone will be equipped with a 3,000 mAh battery. Android Lollipop 5.1 will most likely be running in Galaxy J7, which is the same update that will be running in the company's Galaxy J5.

No exact release date of the smartphone has been given, other than the fact that it will be announced during Q2, 2015. While Samsung does have an edge in the high-end smartphone market, the company's supremacy is still being challenged in the affordable smartphone market.
