The Samsung Galaxy On7 is very similar to the rest of mid-range Galaxy smartphones in terms of design. If you’re not familiar with them, you’ll have a hard time differentiating. Here’s our first impression with the device to help you with.
Up front is the 5.5-inch TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 or about 267ppi pixel density. Nothing to nitpick here since it has wide viewing angles and good overall picture quality. Above it is the earpiece, 5MP front-facing camera, and a couple of sensors. Below is the usual Samsung set of keys for navigation — a physical home button in the middle with two capacitive keys on each side of it.
To the right-hand side of the device the power/lock key that’s easily reachable by either the thumb or index finger, depending on your grip. The volume rocker is situated to the left side of the phone.
The top part is voided of any ports or holes. Although, there’s a tiny sticker label for the Qualcomm 4G radio chipset used.
The bottom end is quite busy with the micro-USB in the middle, microphone pinhole, and the 3.5mm headphone jack.
At the back is the main 13MP camera with its LED flash and the loudspeaker. The rear panel has a faux-leather texture to it which feels good on hands. While the faux-leather panel is a bit grippy, the shiny frame of the handset is smooth to the touch.
The handset is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core chipset running at 1.2GHz with an Adreno 306. There’s 1.5GB of RAM to handle multi-tasking and an 8GB of expandable memory. System memory takes up 3.46GB leaving only 4.54GB of usable storage for files and apps.
A quick performance test with AnTuTu Benchmark v6.1.5 showed a pretty okay 27812 score. Real world usage, on the other hand, shows no sign of lag so far. There’s LTE onboard as well for faster internet connectivity.
