Last year, the Samsung Galaxy J7 2015 is one of the most successful midrange offering from the South Korean giant. As expected, there's actually a follow up to this phone this 2016. Recent reports of leaks showcased its improvements that could make those who want this pretty excited.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 features almost the same aesthetics compared to the older model based on the renders at least. What's interesting here is it will now carry bigger screen at 5.5 inch, more powerful SoC with either Snapdragon 615 / Exynos 7870 coming from Snapdragon 410, double the RAM at 3 GB, a much bigger 3,300 mAh battery capacity and a front camera flash.

The rest of the specs is a clear step up over the old variant which is refreshing to know. I would just like it better if they at least used the more optimized Snapdragon 616 chip here.
Anyway, for now, let's all wait for the official announcement from Samsung together with its pricing and availability.
