Samsung Galaxy E7 review: Price and specifications

In a bid to bring the A series' new-found premium design language to the masses, Samsung's E-lineup has managed to maintain the same looks. Lower-grade hardware and entirely plastic build have helped keep the price down, but if you don't look too hard it's still an upmarket smartphone.

Key features:

  • Quad-band 2G, quad-band 3G and multi-band 4G, LTE Cat.4 support for download speeds of up to 150Mbps
  • 5.5-inch 720 x 1,280 pixel Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
  • Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz on top
  • 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset with quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A53; Adreno 306 GPU
  • 2GB of RAM; 16GB of storage, expandable via microSD up to 64GB
  • 13MP main camera with autofocus and LED flash; video recording up to 1080p@30fps
  • 5MP front camera, video recording up to 1080p@30fps
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot; Bluetooth v4.0 with A2DP; NFC (model-dependent)
  • GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS
  • FM radio with RDS and recording
  • 2,950mAh battery capacity

Main disadvantages:

  • 720p stretches pretty thin on 5.5 inches by today's standards
  • No Gorilla Glass protection on the display
  • Battery is not user-replaceable
  • Android 4.4.4 is not the most recent Android version; Lollipop is in the pipeline though
