Design
The handset design is exactly similar to as seen on the Galaxy On5, just that the handset size is slightly bigger.

There is no LED notification, native video calling is supported. And like the On5 this one also comes packed with 2 sensors – accelerometer and proximity. Light sensor is missing, you will need to manually adjust the brightness.

Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy On7 is using the known Snapdragon 410 64 bit hardware running 32 Bit OS (Android Lollipop). No issues with performance and handset does not heat up. 2 point multi touch is disappointing but should not be a major issue for most users.
There are better options available in the market for this price tag, however if you are looking for a known brand with good after sales then Galaxy On7 is a good option for ₹10,990 (considering the brand).
