The two phones have different designs compared with those from last year. The back casing is now metallic and the antennas at the top and bottom are concave shaped to make it look as if the phone is frowning, I honestly like the Galaxy J3’s antenna design better. The front however is a beautiful 2.5D glass with almost edge to edge design. Of the two, only the J7 has a 1080p Full HD display, is water and dust resistant as well as having a LED flash on the selfie camera. Here’s a rundown of the main specs, the key differences are highlighted in Bold. SAMSUNG GALAXY J7 2017
