Recently introduced Samsung Galaxy J7 Max renamed the Galaxy On Max for Flipkart in India

Last month, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Max was unveiled in India. Today, the very same phone was introduced again in the same country, but with a different name. As the Samsung Galaxy On Max, the handset becomes a Flipkart exclusive in India. The online retailer has the phone priced at Rs 16,900. With the current exchange rate, that works out to a price of $261 USD for the model, which will go on sale Monday, July 10th. Pay for the phone using a Standard Chartered credit or debit card, and you can take $31 off of the price.

The highlight of the phone is what Sammy is calling a "flagship camera." This would be the 13MP rear camera with an f/1.7 aperture. With the latter, Samsung brags about the quality photos than can be shot under low light conditions. The 13MP front-facing camera has an aperture of f/1.9 which will allow users to snap selfies in the dark. The Social Camera Mode allows users to produce live stickers with the cameras, and pin their favorite contacts to the cameras to quickly share photos and videos with them.

"Today consumers use their smartphones to capture memories. Galaxy On Max is the perfect device for this, enabling users to click brilliant photographs under all light conditions. It also offers the option of sharing pictures on-the-go with a single click. Galaxy On Max will redefine the way people click and share pictures."-Sandeep Singh Arora, Vice President, Online Business, Samsung India

The Samsung Galaxy On Max features a 5.7-inch LCD screen with a 720 x 1280 resolution (HD). Driving the device is the Media Tek Helio P20 SoC (MT6757 chipset) carrying an octa-core 2.3GHz CPU and the Mali-T880 MP2 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside along with 32GB of native storage (23.9GB is available to the user). A 256GB capacity microSD slot is available to those seeking additional storage. Keeping the lights on is a 3300mAh battery, and the device will be offered in Black and in Gold with Android Nougat pre-installed. The phone does come with Samsung Pay Mini, allowing users to make mobile payments.

Not really much of a steal... But Samsung typically does not compete with killer price tag.

Until the S8, the Galaxy S was always $599 on VZW and $650 everywhere else. Pretty killer price tag considering what you get for the cost. Especially compared too.....

Why is it exactly that you spend so much time here despite how much you hate the site, the writers, the reviews, etc? So many people complain, though not the length that you do of course, but never leave.

The PA author was smoking somekind of weed while writing this article. J7 max and on max are two different mobiles. J7 has mediatek helio p20 processor. While On max has p25 lite processor. Both have different selling prices. Rest of the specifications are almost identical. That is pretty much how samsung is operating in last 1 year. Tweaking one part of specs and releasing a new mobile.

You should check the specs on flipkart online store before posting an article. It is clearly written that on max has p25 processor and not p20. Moreover on max sells at Rs. 16900 and j7 max sells at 17900 which was already launched in june in india And one more thing both on max and j7 max has full hd display. So please post your article again once your hangover is over.
