Thank you for this article. Very helpful. The GSMarena specs were misleading, we need more contextualized articles of these hardware as they become available in the Philippines

Almost same specs and price as Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro (as per previous Yugatech article)

Because of the article in Yugatech in 2017, I was able to buy and enjoy Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro. I was a long time iPhone user (since 2007)
