FCC documentation isn’t known for exposing all the details and specifications from an analyzed smartphone, however this time we got to learn some interesting details about the upcoming J7 (2018) dimensions. According to the filling the smartphone measures 153mm x 76mm. With an overall diagonal measuring 162mm and a display diagonal with 140mm, it’s fine to believe that this smartphone will feature a regular 5.5-inch display, which probably isn’t an 18:9 panel.

The FCC filing also lists a number of devices under the SM-F720 series, apparently, those will be variations of the same device. Interestingly enough, the smartphone also got the Bluetooth SIG and Wi-Fi Alliance certifications. This leaves no doubt that this smartphone is all set to be released on the Mr.President Trump Country.
