The Samsung Galaxy On7, also marketed as the Samsung Galaxy Wide in the South Korean market, along with the Samsung Galaxy On7 Pro, are Android-based smartphones developed by Samsung Electronics. The original Galaxy On7 was introduced and launched in October of 2015, whereas the Galaxy On7 Pro followed with its release in July of 2016. The primary distinction between these two variants lies in their RAM and internal storage capacities.[1][2]
Design
The front panel consists of glass, complemented by a matte plastic frame, while the rear is constructed from plastic featuring a leather-like finish.
Located at the bottom edge of the device are the microUSB port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a microphone. On the left side, users will find the volume control buttons, whereas the power button is positioned on the right. The front face houses the display along with the brand logo, an earpiece speaker, a combined proximity and ambient light sensor, and a front-facing camera situated above. Below the screen are three navigation buttons: one physical 'home' button and two capacitive touch buttons for 'recent apps' and 'back'. On the rear panel, there is the logo, a main camera accompanied by an LED flash, and a speaker. Depending on the specific Galaxy On7 variant, beneath the removable back cover are either hybrid dual SIM slots (supporting Nano-SIM plus Micro-SIM or Nano-SIM plus microSD card) or a single Nano-SIM slot.
The devices were offered in three color variants: Black, White, and Gold.
Hardware
These smartphones are powered by a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 system-on-chip, which integrates a quad-core CPU consisting of four ARM Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.2 GHz and an Adreno 306 GPU. The Galaxy On7 model includes 1.5 GB of RAM paired with 8 GB of internal storage, while the Galaxy On7 Pro upgrades to 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of onboard storage. Storage capacity can be further increased through microSD cards supporting up to 128 GB.
A user-removable lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh powers the phones.
The display features a 5.5-inch TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen with HD resolution (1280 × 720 pixels), offering a 16:9 aspect ratio and pixel density of 267 ppi. It supports up to 16 million colors.
Photography capabilities include a 13 MP rear camera equipped with an f/2.1 aperture and autofocus functionality, alongside a 5 MP front camera with an f/2.2 aperture. Both cameras support video recording at full HD resolution (1080p) at 30 frames per second.
