Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro is a good handset, powerful, packed with good features, comes with NFC too and overall performance is smooth – good for gaming, plus hardware hardly heats up. Looking at the price once would immediately compare it with OnePlus handset. No doubt the OnePlus is better for the price but C7 Pro is better in two areas – one is the screen and other is the battery life.
So if you are comfortable with Samsung brand and happy with their after sales, the Samsung Galaxy C7 pro is a good option to buy.
