Samsung could not let another month pass without launching any other intermediate device. The company's new bets for this segment are the Galaxy J7 and the Galaxy J5. The devices come with a front flash alongside a 5 MP camera that responds to voice commands and has an aperture of 85 for panic selfies. Check out the specification comparison below.
Galaxy J5 vs. Galaxy J7: Price and Availability
Both devices were presented by Samsung last Wednesday (19/8) in So Paulo. The new J Series devices will be available for sale in August, in three color options: white, black and gold.

Improvements can be noticed through the front camera. Both devices have a 5MP secondary sensor with 85 ° aperture at the viewing angle.
