Difference between the 2015 and 2016 version of galaxy j7
http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/samsung-galaxy-j7-2016-3399-vs-samsung-galaxy-j7-2720
They both almost have the same chip set so cant the 2015 recovery work on the 2016 version. The 2016 has Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617
Exynos 7870 Octa which almost just like 2015.
On twrp website it says for exynos j700 galaxy j7 and thats what this 2016 version is too so im just curious if the 2015 recovery would still work on 2016 variants.

See It Plz

The cpu processor and gpu are different so is the graphics processor. The ram is different, but their the same phone just different specs.. But there shouldnt be nothing there which wouldnt allow the twrp 2015 code to work on 2016 with slight modifications. The recovery partition is bigger on the 2015 version so it wont flash correctly but the code could be remade into a smaller img image.. apps change sizes all the time bigger and smaller every update so why cant a recovery go from big to smaller.. ???

Will Samsung Galaxy J7 Get Nougat Update in 2017?

Do You Think Samsung Galaxy J7 [ 2015 / 2016 / Prime] Will Get Update of Nougat? ​Share your thoughts!
J7 2015 - no, J7 2016 and Prime - yes
It seems rain will not fall for J7 2015
@Forgetten @saddam.khan999
Yup, there's two reason for that.
1. J7 (2015) was pre-installed with 5.0 / 5.0.1 however it was later updated to 5.1.1 and than 6.0.1.
2. The chipset isn't compatible of Google's minimum requirements.
can u let me know the source for the second reason you mentioned
Don't worry Bro our devs will port Nougat for us...
~☆AkHiLYO☆
I think there are 80% chances of getting nougat and i am sure that it should get. Otherwise are devs are there they will definitely port nougat?
j7 2016 and j7 prime will get update

Mid-range gets 2 major OS update,for exemple the J7 2015 was released with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and Samsung do an update to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and in September,to Nougat
1 update for mid-range (J5 and J5 2016) is because they doesn't have an Exynos they have a Snapdragon 410

Bro. J7 2015 or the J700f/h Only got the official Marshmallow update but the No official Nougat updates. We do have custom ported Nougat ROMs for J7 2015 which I am running. And Ruturaj Madam is right. I don't think J7 (2016) will get an update now. Its already 2018 no updates yet.

Yes sir. I know about the Nougat upgrade for the J7 2016 variants. But I was just saying that the J7 2015 variant did not even receive the official Nougat variant. So maybe J7 2016 variants wont have the oreo official upgrade. But if it gets it, even better
The Samsung J700M is a J7 2015 though.
I'd like to see any version of AOSP for The J700T variant...
I was told not possible because we don't have a device tree ...I've started working on one if anyone wants to help..

We'll never know for sure. But my bet is also for "no" - the J7s of 2015 and 2016 are pretty out-of-dated as of 2018. Damn marketing which demands constant, yearly smartphone releases.

Oh I did not see that. That was a Brazilian model I guess. J700f/h are Indian models. And sadly. We didn't receive any updates ? But I will be more then happy if any of the mid-rangers get updated to Oreo.

J700M or the J700f/h? See I m using J700f and it has 16gb internal space and works perfectly fine. But J700M model has 16gb internal space too I just searched it on Google. I think if any of the J series model get the Oreo update. Then someone will port them to these devices. Waiting for updates

Thier are possibilities but lets see. Even I will be buying a new boy soon so its not something which is going to bother me much. I can live with Nougat because it is still powerful and their aren't much changes in Oreo which are too good to die for it. I respect you bro for having a discussion here and gave me opportunity to grab some info. Thanks.

Galaxy J7 neo SM-j701M/ Galaxy J7 Nxt which TWRP version?

Hey guys, I am trying to install TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy J7 neo SM-j701M (AKA Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt in India). What version of TWRP do you suggest I should go for ? I am confused because on TWRP, I see these two :
Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016 Exynos) (j7xelte)
Samsung Galaxy J7 Exynos SM-J700 (j7elte)
I am thinking of trying the emboldened option, because the top one is 2016, and my phone was release 2017, however the one below says SM-J700 my version is SM-J70. I found a website with links to one but Its not from the official site and I don't want to get any malware.
Samsung Galaxy J7 neo SM-j701M
LAUNCH Announced 2017, July
Status Available. Released 2017, July
