Based on this GFXBench listing, the Galaxy J7 2017 will likely come with an octa-core Exynos 7870 clocked at 1.5 GHz. It may also feature an ARM Mali-T830 GPU.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 is also hinted to come with a 5.5-inch display with only 1280 x 720 pixels resolution. This is different from previous reports which said than it will come with a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen with a 1280 x 1080 pixels resolution.
The recent listing also shows that it will come with Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, 8 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera with 1920 x 1080 full HD video recording support. The rear camera will also sport a face detection feature, autofocus and flash. According to leakster Evan Blass, the Galaxy J7 2017 may only be picked up by Verizon, US Cellular and AT&T.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 was previously seen on GeekBench running on Android 7.0 Nougat with model number SM-J727P. The first listing reveals that the Samsung Galaxy J7 2017 comes with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset clocked at 1.6 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. The 2016 model only comes with a Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. If the listing is true, Samsung fans would be happy to have an improved processor. The benchmark listing offered only this information.
