The front camera also comes with 'Selfie Focus' mode which blurs the background giving it a DSLR-like bokeh effect.

On the software front, Galaxy J7 Duo runs on Android 8.0 Oreo, and is fuelled by a 3,000mAh battery. The smartphone also comes with 'Face Unlock'. Galaxy J7 Duo also comes with an "App Pair" feature that lets users work on two apps simultaneously. This feature is similar to Xiaomi's 'Dual Apps' available on its smartphones.
