It's about time that people starting to get annoyed with this programmed obsolescence. Especially since customers eventually get the bill. In europe goverments are charging additional environment taxes on batteries, consumer devices, storage devices-tax, recycling-tax and god knows what else. Yet manufacturers force us to throw away our perfectly good phones every 2 years. Why don't THEY pay these taxes instead of us!

"..Unfortunately, the new J7 has lost all access to the battery due to the design change towards unibody. Honestly, we don't mind the trade-off."
Fools.
"..We have to hand it to Samsung for extending its fresh new UI design all the way down to the budget/mid-range J-series..."
Why wouldn't they? It's disgusting to see some manufacturers denying OS updates on older phones since most of them are all the same Cortex-A53 based crap that they have been selling the past 3 or 4 years! So in essence (and IMHO) every 64-bit android phone is capable of the latest Android and thus should get manufacturers upgrade. Period.
"..still new 'Light and Line' concept for icons and navigation keys.."
Oh yeah, the uglier flat of already ugly flat material design. Why they call this crap "material design" is beyond me! There's no brushed metal, no glossy icons or textures, not even a goddamn shadow to distinguish the app-icons from a (busy) background. And this stupid lines makes it all worse. Some of the icons are completely meaningless.
Oh well. After I saw that this was yet another Cortex A53 phone my interest waned quickly. There's just too many Samsungs... S-series, A-series, J-series, C-series... and they all have the same crappy Cortex A53... one way or another (except the S-series which are supposedly high-end).

Or Netfilx put their saved video on "shared" folder, just like What'sApp did (put their chat file on the "shared" folder). The thing is, I was wondering if anyone experience the same bug.

Just bought the A5 2017 instead of the J7 2017 because where I am the prices are about the same because of a price drop on the A5 and the A5 has better water resistance proofness to fight the rain. Comparing camera samples in gsmarena's tool it seems a wash perhaps with a slight edge to the more wide angled and thus portrait friendly J7 but the differences are small even to the flagship S8 and the DSLR D5. That the weight and size is somewhat less is very welcome - the silicone addon case is not weightless. Batteritime on both is good. The other differences such as more rom and faster cpu are not that important to me - I'm not a gamer. The A5 is not with the latest OS but Samsung usually provides at least 2 upgrades sooner or later.

micro usb outdated? Come on... what's wrong with microusb? The vast majority of accessories run on this port. It's very pratical since everyone owns a wall charger, host adapters etc etc. It's pure programmed obsolescence to change a standard port

[deleted post]I am not a fanboy of Sony. I do own other smartphones other than Sony of course. Most of them coming from Samsung and XIAOMI. Yes, I do own the Z and X series of Sony, but I also own Samsung's S and Note series, for XIAOMI all high end flagships. I am just giving opinions to those who want better performance than this man. So, saying another brand of the phone like what I recommended means that I am a Sony fanboy? So like I said I own Samsung and XIAOMI too does that mean I am a Samsung and XIAOMI fanboy too? Then if some recommended like Moto G5 does that mean that they are Motorola fanboys? Bruh

Hi GSMArena, I have a question.
I have Galaxy C9 Pro, and I think it's mostly the same in OS as in this J7. My question is in SAMSUNG DEVICE MAINTENANCE, if I click FIX NOW, it will delete my Netflix Offline content. Is the Device maintenance in the J7 Pro have the "SAME BUG"?
I really wish samsung would put an option, so that user can 'fine tune' to exclude some of the folder.
