Samsung Galaxy J5 2016, Galaxy J7 2016 gets approved by TENAA

Samsung is gearing up for the launch of the 2016 edition of Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7. Both mid-range handsets have been certified by Chinese telecommunication authority TENAA, and we can expect an official announcement anytime soon.

The Galaxy J5 and J7 2016 will have similar design, run Android 5.1 Lollipop, support expandable storage and 4G LTE connectivity. We can also expect the devices to have fingerprint sensor built into the home button, since Samsung previously said that their mid-range phone will have fingerprint reader.

The Galaxy J5 2016 seen above, sports a 5.2-inch 720p Super AMOLED display and is equipped with 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB inbuilt  storage, 13MP rear camera w/ LED flash, laser auto-focus, and 5MP front snapper w/ LED flash as well. The phone will be available in White, Gold, and Pink Gold colors. 

TENAA has listed two variants of Galaxy J7 2016 - SM-J7108 (global) powered by 1.6GHz octa-core processor (possibly the Exynos 7870) and  and SM-J7109 (China Telecom variant) powered by unknown octa-core processor with four cores clocked at 1.5GHz and other four cores clocked at 1.2GHz.

Other specs of both Galaxy J7 2016 will be the same- 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, 3GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, 13MP rear camera w/ LED flash and laser auto-focus and 5MP front camera w/ LED flash. The SMJ1708 will come in Gold and White color, while the SM-J1709 comes in Black and Gold color.
