Samsung has launched the Galaxy J7 Duo in India, the first to bring the dual-lens cameras to the J series in the country. Besides coming in with a trending camera design, the J7 Duo is also the first in the J series to rock Android Oreo out of the box alongside another trending feature, Face Unlock, all of which makes it an interesting prospect.
According to Samsung, for every three smartphones sold in India, the third handset is part of the J series. With the new Galaxy J7 Duo that boasts a dual-lens camera on the back and the latest Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, Samsung hopes to capture even more consumers whose heads might have been turned by the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, Vivo V9, Honor 9 Lite, among others – all of which have dual-lens cameras.

16k INR and that disappointing battery and not even a 1080p display 😮 !
You are right! Full HD res is the least you would expect. Xiaomi is giving you that on a INR10K phone. They are relying on the dual camera to help them sell the phones, but again, lack of bezel-less design hurts the device too.
But knowing Samsung, they would unveil the Galaxy J7 2018 soon, with the bezel-less display and there you have it, your J7 Duo becoming outdated in a mere few months.
