    The Galaxy J7 Prime has arrived in India and in the Philippines, but the metal-clad smartphone had not landed in one of Samsung's biggest markets. That changes today, as the device has landed in the US by way of famous online retailer Amazon. The device is now available for around $290.

    The device features the same specs we've seen before, such as the 5.5-inch, Full HD TFT LCD screen with a 1920 x 1080p screen resolution, an octa-core, Exynos 7870 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, an 8MP front camera, 13MP back camera, and a 3,300mAh battery, with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow pre-installed. Samsung's fingerprint scanner and dual-SIM support are on board as well, along with a microSD card that supposedly provides up to 256GB of expandable storage.

    As for color, only the black variant is available for now, so you'll have to make do with it. We found the device to be excellent for under $300, though you won't get an AMOLED display here but will love the battery life with everyday usage.

    Well, US customers, hit up the links below to take advantage of this phone that is now in the land of the free.
