Design & Display
Both the Samsung Galaxy J7 and the Oppo F1s are beautiful devices that are sleek and slim along with metallic body. So, looks and style-wise none can be termed as lesser than the other.
Both the devices come with 5.5 inch large displays, but they have different quality.

On the other hand, the Oppo F1s goes the standard way with HD 1280×720 pixels resolution. Thus, the visual quality of these two handsets is definitely not the same.

At the heart of the new Galaxy J7 Prime is Samsung’s Exynos 7870 Octa core processor that is set at the speed of 1.6 GHz. It gets the support of a good 3 GB of Ram for great smooth and fast performance that is considerably stutter free even when running multiple heavy apps at the same time.
