My mother is aiming to buy the J7 so we were canvassing in stores in the metro, and I was able to get ahold of a J7 unit and was able to benchmark it. The local variant of the J7 has a Super AMOLED HD panel and an octacore Exynos 7580 chipset, similar to the Indian variant. The other variant released elsewhere in the world has an IPS panel and a Snapdragon 615 chipset instead.

Mahal pala tlaga jan sa Pinas. Almost 13K ung J7 at almost 10K naman ung J5. yung kawork ko nabili lang ung J5 dito sa Jeddah ng 700 riyals which is equal to 8400 petot. Ung J7 naman is nasa 850-900 riyals and hindi aabot ng 13K.
