The Samsung J7, released in June 2015, is now looking at a predecessor rumored to be released sometimes this year. Here are the leaked specs circulating around the Internet.
The leaked specs, reported on Android Pit, indicate that the new mid-range device will accommodate an Exynos 7870 octa-core (8 cores) processor at 1.7 GHz and sustained by 2 GB of RAM.
