Now if you want to know why these two smartphones are considered to be designed for the Filipino consumer aside from the specs, well let me give you two interesting reasons. For starters, these smartphones are pre-loaded with Philippine themed wallpapers. But, the most intriguing of them all is their Signal Max feature that provides a wider internet connection that can cater to the digital lifestyle needs of the local smartphone folks. And then there is their well-known Ultra Power Saving Mode that can keep your smartphone longer than usual.

If that's not enough for you, then you should go to the Samsung Experience store or authorized dealer near you and try any of these two for yourself. The Galaxy J7 2016 edition is priced at Php14,990 while that of the Galaxy J5 costs Php11,990. Maybe it will convince you that these two smartphones are the new Filipino pride of Samsung aside from some of its television sets.
