A pixel density of roughly 386 ppi combined with the Super AMOLED technology still offers promise of enjoyable viewing, though.
The Samsung Galaxy J7 Max looks like one to deliver superb shots. It carries 13 megapixel shooters on both its front and back. Both sensors come with LED flash for great images even in lowlight conditions. Selfie fans are going to like this then.
