Second if your device is b... morethats horrible considering you have to be always mindful to keep it above 20% or it shuts down for good without reason. Samsung as usual with their battery blunders. If that joke of a battery on the note 7 flagship is defective, how can we trust the battery on their mid range phones and the lower ends?

AnonD-338263, 15 Mar 2017Automatically shuts off below 20 percent.this is the main problem in this phone.any solution?First of all please don't wait till the battery gets 20 or 30% low. Second if your device is below 30 or 25, and you can't Recharge the battery than activate battery saving mode. As for battery draining I agree the A5 (2016) drains faster than my On7 Pro or J7 Prime. But I hope with 7 update situation will improve. Regards.

You can confirm it by googling. But the time is not sure for now. Personally I am very happy with marhsmellow and I can wait. Last time I Update a OS (Lumia 540 from Windows 8.1 and to 10; my device got screwed up.) I also notice some Update issues with S7 Edge. So I hope J7 prime Update will be better. Anyway personally I like big devices as they can be use for everything. If you want a smaller device than you should also consider A5 (2016) which has 5.2 Super Amoled screen and will also get 7 Update for sure. But it is more costlier than J7 Prime. Otherwise you can try Samsung J5 (Which will also get 7 update) or Moto G4. They are 5 inch devices which cost less than J7 Prime and popular devices. Regards.

Wifi is on all day, I would say 45% of the time the display is on. I do casual fb, viber, spotify and a little bit of games plus email stuff all day non stop. Battery would last for about a day and a half. Excellent phone indeed.

It happens because of the file system on the drive. I suggest you to backup the data on drive than first format the drive on a laptop/desktop. Than again format it using the device. Few days ago my pen drive did not worked on J7 Prime, so I did the steps and now it is working great. Regards.
