It has a solid camera, decent display and nostalgic design with the Samsung Glaxy J7 prime, but very chip price budget.

Design and OS:

The J7 Prime is identical to the Galaxy S6, which debuted in 2015.

Some would consider this look dated, but I don't mind the classic Samsung design.

The gold aluminum back and white plastic trim aren't cutting-edge compared with Samsung's newer,

glass-covered Galaxy devices, but at this price, who cares.

Like the S6, the J7 Prime features a fingerprint sensor, an app switcher and a rear button on the chin.

Again, you're not getting an edge-to-edge display, or even a USB-C port —

Samsung stuck with micro USB for this price model — but I don't mind this look.

Display :

The Samsung J7 Prime's 5.5-inch full-HD display isn't the excellent in Samsung's Galaxy lineup,

but the 1080p LCD panel is so much standard at this price.

Camera:

I check in the J7 Prime model with a 13-MP rear camera, which is a included up from the base model's 8-MP lens. I was able to capture solid shots, like a nighttime scene in Bryant Park, without a ton of noise or color distortion. In details of the picture, such a bare trees and a street lamp against the before evening cobalt sky, are clear and actually kind of suitable for a budget camera.

Battery Life:

Its sizable 3,300 MAH battery, the J7 Prime lasted a middling 8 hours and 32 minutes in the Tom's Guide Battery Test (continuous web-surfing over T-Mobile's LTE network).The smartphone average is 9:50, so the J7 Prime isn't good at all. But the G5S Plus will last you 11 hours and 50 minutes, in while ZTE's Blade V8 Pro lasts a whopping 12:08.The Honor 7X also contain longer battery life, at 9:21.Opting for a lower-priced mobile phone shouldn't mean compromising on battery life, but in the J7's case, it does.

Performance:

This Smart Phones in the $200 to $250 range are upping the ante regarding performance, and the J7 Prime is comfortable when it comes to speed and power in a budget phone, thanks to the Samsung-built Exynos 7870 processor inside. Samsung's mobile clocked a 3,580 score in the Geekbench 4 test of overall system performance, in column with the Moto G5 Plus (3,746) and ZTE'S Blade V8 Pro (3,018). Another $200 phone we recently tested, Nuu Mobile’s X5, turned in a paltry 2,623, so you can definitely get more useable for your buck with the J7 Prime's 1.6 GHz octa-core CPU.

Bottom Line:

Many people find old-fashioned phones reassuring.  You don't have to relearn how to use a new interface, and every button is located sure where it always has been. That's the case with Samsung's Galaxy J7 Prime, which offers the classic design of the Samsung Galaxy S6 for $220 (or even less if you buy a version with more basic specs from MetroPCS).If you don't expect much from a budget phone, the J7 Prime does a perfectly fine job of surfing the web, taking photos and playing basic games.
