Surprisingly, the mid-range device also supports face unlock feature, which allows the users to unlock their device by just looking at it.
The Galaxy J7 Duo sports a 13MP + 5MP cameras at the rear, with an 8MP front sensor. The two rear cameras come with f/1.9 aperture and support LED flash along with features like Live Focus, Selfie focus and Beauty mode. Both the sensors are capable of recording full-HD video at 30 frames-per-second. The device includes a 5.5 inch HD (1280 x 720 pixels) Super AMOLED display and comes powered by the Exynos 7 series octa-core processor which is clocked at 1.6GHz.
