Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro review: An impressive mid-range smartphone, but it’s no OnePlus 3

Samsung has managed to keep a strong position in the Indian smartphone market. This is despite the fact that numerous Chinese players have made a comfortable position in India and are doing well themselves.

Thanks to a strong offline presence and strong brand recognition, the Korean giant seems to be fearless. It has been launching some really good mid-range smartphones under the ‘A’ and ‘C’ series. I got to test out the Galaxy C7 Pro which seems like an attempt to take on the sub Rs 30,000 champion, the OnePlus 3T. Here is what I think about the smartphone.
