Samsung Group (OTCMKTS:SSNLF) has officially launched its Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 smartphones in China shortly after launching the Galaxy A8 smartphone in China. The Galaxy J5 and J7 devices are already available in China for a month now, but the two smartphones that were just launched in India are slightly different from the ones in China.

The Samsung Galaxy J5 smartphone features a Super AMOLED 5-inch HD display at 720 x 1280 pixel resolution. The one in China uses TFT LCD display. The Galaxy J5 measures in at 142 x 73 x 8.5 mm and weighs approximately 149 grams. The processor and RAM is the same which is quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC chip, clocked at 1.2GHz backed up by 1.5GB of RAM. The Chinese model features 16GB of internal storage, but the Indian one comes with only 8GB off built in storage. Nevertheless, both models have micro SD card support for expansion purposes, up to 128GB. It is powered by a 2,600 mAh battery which translates to about 342 hours of standby time. The main camera on the back is a 13 mega-pixel one featuring autofocus with f/1.9 aperture. The secondary front facing camera is 5 mega-pixels. Connectivity options include 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, NFC, Glonass, and a micro-USB port. The Galaxy J5 is priced at Rs. 11,999.

The bigger brother, the Galaxy J7 features nearly the same specs as the Galaxy J5. The Galaxy J7 measures in at 152.2 x 79.1 x7.9 mm and weighs approximately 168 grams. It features a larger screen compared to the Galaxy J7, with a Super AMOLED 5.7 inch HD display at 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, and just like the J5, it does not use TFT LCD like the model in China. The most notable change comes in the processor, featuring an octa-core Exynos 7580 processor clocked at 1.5GHz backed with 1.5GB of RAM, unlike the Chinese model which features an octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC chip. The smartphone is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery which translates into 354 hours of stand time. The Galaxy J7 is priced at Rs. 14,999. Both devices run on Android v5.1 Lollipop.
