The Samsung Galaxy J7 features a detachable rear panel, a metallic chrome frame with a diamond pattern, and a back cover made of plastic with a metal-like finish. Its front is dominated by a 5.5-inch display, accompanied by two capacitive buttons for app navigation and a physical home button positioned beneath the screen. Positioned above the display is a 5-megapixel front-facing camera paired with an LED flash, alongside a chrome grille that houses the earpiece and various sensors. This camera utilizes Samsung's S5K3L2 CMOS image sensor.
