Samsung Galaxy J7 2018 Specs Supposedly Leaked
It would appear that specs concering the Samsung Galaxy J7 2018 have been leaked. According to the latest FCC listing, the J7 2018, set for release some time in Q2, will sport a 5.5" 16:9 1920 x 1080 display, a hexa-core Exynos 7885 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of Internal Storage, and Android 8.0 Oreo with Samsung's Experience UI.

The Exynos 7885 looks like an upgrade over the Samsung's Exynos 7870 with two high-performance cores based on Cortex-A73 and four efficient cores based on Cortex-A53.

The J7 2018 will have two variants (SM-J720M/DS and SM-J720M), the only difference will be the support of its SIM. Asiant market will get Dual SIM while the US and few other countries would get Single SIM model.

While the specs sound decent enough for last year's standard, I will remain hesitant about that 16:9 Screen. Thoughts?
