Samsung Galaxy On7 Pro is a budget Android dual sim Smartphone priced at Rs.11,190. It is a revised variant of last years Galaxy On 7. The improvement over its predecessor are 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Considering the price, other available devices are Le 2, Lenovo Vibe K5 Note, Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3s Prime. Comparing with these devices, here are the Samsung Galaxy On7 Pro Cons or disadvantages.
Samsung Galaxy On7 Pro Cons-Reasons not to Buy
Lack of basic sensors
Nowadays we do get smartphones with fingerprint scanner in this price segment. However, we can give excuse for Fingerprint scanner. But lack of basic sensors like Ambient light sensor, Magnetic/Compass Sensor is not acceptable considering the price. Also it impacts on the smartphone experience.
Slightly outdated SoC for the price
Samsung Galaxy On 7 Pro comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 clocked at 1.2GHz coupled with a Adreno 302 GPU, 2GB of RAM. This SoC is used in its predecessor as well. Only the RAM size is increased from 1.5GB to 2GB and internal storage is now 16GB instead of 8GB. We are not saying performance is bad on this device, but we expected better SoC considering the price.
No sAMOLED display screen
5.5 inch screen with 720p resolution is big let down if you are a media consumer. We are seeing most of the smartphones in this price segment features full HD display panels. Galaxy J series comes with sAMOLED screen which improves the viewing experience. But this device comes with IPS display panel and not the sAMOLED display screen. In 2016, a smartphone which is priced above 10k with 720p resolution for 5.5 inch display is not acceptable.
No LED Notification Light and secondary Noise cancellation mic
LED notification helps the users to know about notifications without touching the device. It is a very useful function. The secondary noise cancellation mic does improve call quality by lowering the background noise. However, Galaxy On 7 Pro does not features both of them.
Same old boring design
Samsung Galaxy On 7 Pro comes with plastic build which we have seen in the previous models. The quality of removable back cover is also poor. At present, Samsung has 8 devices in the price range of 8-12k. The design and build quality of all of them are very much similar except minor differences.
This is not a Samsung Galaxy On 7 Pro review. In this post, we have listed only the cons which we felt on the device. It has many advantages as well. Such as dedicated microSD card slot, S Bike mode, timely security patch updates, decent battery life etc. Knowing Samsung Galaxy On 7 Pro demerits/disadvantages will help you to set your expectation from the device.
