Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime (2018) visits GFXBench ahead of January 17 launch

Samsung is one of the key players in the premium flagship segment but the company's presence in the mid-range market is overshadowed by many others. This could be a major reason for Samsung to come up with many mid-range models in the recent times. Lately, the company has been teasing the launch of a smartphone that could be exclusive to Amazon India and it is none other than the Galaxy On7 Prime (2018).

The recent media reports have pointed out that the Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime could be launched in India on January 17. Also, the invites sent out by the company for an event to be hosted in Gurugram claim that the device will be exclusive to the online retailer Amazon India. The listing on the retailer's site has already revealed the specifications of the smartphone. While Samsung is yet to confirm the name of the device that will be launched in the country, the listing on Amazon gives us a hint that it could be the Galaxy On7 Prime (2018).

The Galaxy On7 Prime appears to be launched in two variants - one with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage space and the other with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage space. Both the variants are listed to support expandable storage space up to 256GB using a microSD card.

The imaging aspects are said to comprise of a 12MP primary camera at the rear with f/1.9 aperture and LED flash and a 12MP selfie camera at the front with a similar aperture but without the flash module. The benchmark listing tips that the Galaxy On7 Prime runs Android 7.1 Nougat OS topped with the company's own UI.

Given that the specifications of the upcoming Samsung smartphone are out and we know that it will see the light of the day on January 17, we need to wait for a couple of days to know the pricing and availability information.
