Huawei GR5

Competition between these two is pretty tight but I think that the GR5 wins over J7 - storage and battery wise. But the latter is a bit cheaper than the former. J7 has a 13mp camera while the GR5 is a mp lower, but you won't really see that much of a difference.

How about usability of both phones? I thought that Samsung has more reputation in the mobile market than Huawei.

I don't think that usability of a particular model is related to the reputation of the company that makes it. Better read some reviews on these phones for that.

Usability
Apr 3, 2017 4:57AM PDT

Hmmm. There's really not much of a difference when it comes to usability as both phones are running on the android OS. Samsung phones enjoy a strong customer following and are more popular than Huawei, but I think it all boils down to the unique user experience and the individuality, which a phone can give to its user. If you ask me, I'd choose the GR5 over the J7.

Stick with Samsung if you're US-based
Apr 3, 2017 10:42PM PDT

If anything goes wrong with the phone, Samsung offers excellent service alternatives - either from the manufacturer service centers or simply a wealth of third-party servicing options. Huawei offers nothing for US based phones. If anything goes wrong with the device, you'll be happy to have a Samsung!!

Samsung J7 prime is better phone, with better processing power and camera. No doubt GR5 is good phone but personally I dont like the UI and app multitasking. J7 prime is also a better looking phone i believe.
