The two new phones are also positioned by Samsung as affordable devices for gamers as they can potentially deliver smooth online gaming experiences using 4G LTE connectivity. However, the models launched do not support TDD-LTE Band 40 (2300MHz) for 4G LTE in India, and only the FDD-LTE Band 3 (1800MHz) that has yet to see a rollout in the country.
With the introduction of its Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7, Samsung has in a way replied to some of the heavy hitters in the market which are dominating the mid-range . The two phones can go up against theXiaomi Mi 4i, Motorola Moto G (Gen 2), Sony Xperia E 4G and many others. Looking at the specifications, the Galaxy J handsets seem to have raised the bar.
