Still using J7 prime as daily drive

[Hagura7]

I am using myJ7 prime since 2016. It is a very good midrange device in my opinion. Display quality is still way better than some of the Chinese phones. Here are some props and cons:

Pros:

1. Easy to use

2. Good battery backup

3. Minimal lags

4. Good display quality

5. Metal body

6. Good camera quality in outdoor.

7. Tough and rugged device

Cons:

1. No updates (still on Android 8.1) 

2. Outdated security patch

3. Loud Speaker position is not great

4. Gets hot while doing multitasking

Overall it is a legendary device. It gives a good vibe of 2016 era.
