In the last couple of weeks, several tech manufacturing companies have unveiled their latest mid-range smartphone offerings. Arguably, the most talked about releases are Samsung's Galaxy J7 2016 and Lenovo's Moto G4 Plus.
Samsung announced the arrival of the newest handset in their Galaxy J line, the Galaxy J7, in April. No less than a few weeks later, Lenovo followed suit, confirming the release of their Moto G4 Plus.
The two mid-range phones are eerily similar in specifications and capabilities. There is, however, the question of which one is the better buy. Below is a quick comparison between Samsung's Galaxy J7 2016 and Lenovo's Moto G4 Plus:
