Samsung has launched the Galaxy J5 2016 and the Galaxy J7 2016 in India. The Galaxy J5 is available in the country for ₹13,990, with the Galaxy J7 debuting at ₹15,990. Both come with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box, offer 13MP cameras at the back and 5MP front shooters, and feature a metal frame around the sides. The phones will be up for sale starting later today on Flipkart.

The Galaxy J5 2016 offers a 5.2-inch 720p Super AMOLED display, 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal memory, microSD slot (up to 128GB), and a 3100mAh battery. The Galaxy J7 2016 comes with a larger 5.5-inch 720p display, and is powered by a 1.6GHz octa-core Exynos 7870 SoC with 3GB of RAM and 16GB storage along with a 3300mAh battery.

Based on the specs, the Galaxy J7 sounds like a better bet as you get a larger screen and more RAM, as well as a larger battery for just ₹2,000 more. What do you guys think of the phones on offer?
