I have been using J7 Core since 2016 with Android 7 and 8.1 Samsung Experience and this can't handle any game. I could just play Age of War. The processor is crying while using chrome. But only good thing about this processor is consuming very low energy. J7 Core's battery is 3000mAh, i can use YouTube about 8 hours. Time to change this phone.

No way there's 785 mpx ray tracing even Snapdragon and dimensity are farr off at 8 mpx ray tracing so it's most likely wrong but anyway even with that number it's still really weak in gaming performance

Nice joke. I use it. It's literally slower than a turtle. Anything in this chip is slow.

Uyu, Just install custom rom and overclock it to 2Ghz. also change it to 64bit mode. by default samsung locked it to 32bit mode.. it works very fast for daily use. still lags in games. one guy tested genshin impact on this crappy chip. gives 10fps. just go search it on youtube. genshin impact on galaxy j6

Are you serious? 785.2 Mpixels/s at ray tracing? Most mid-range SoCs have about 1 to 10 Mpixels/s.

Funnily enough despite all devices with it getting shipped with 32 bit OS, the chip itself is indeed 64 bit capable. Devs did what was thought once impossible several years ago and booted 64 bit OS on it. After that multiple custom ported OS's that do native 64 bit were available on xda forums for a while.

if you install custom rom, it would be 64bit.. works faster than an average mediatek Helio G35 OR 37.
