Released October, 2011
Rated 80% by by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2011)Its resolution of 480x800 pixels means that pixel density is average but still good for a 3.7inch screen and as a result text looks sharp.
by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)The 7.0 Plus cannot match the WXGA resolution of its bigger siblings or the Super AMOLED screen of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 but the main competition isn’t doing a lot better either.

3.7"
Galaxy W by GSM Arena (Aug, 2011)At 3.7-inches the screen is big but easy to manage and the textured rear makes it look solid - bordering on rough.
Galaxy Ace Plus by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)it handles comfortably and we like the fact that it hasn't grown much in size despite having a bigger screen than the original.

processor
Galaxy W by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2011)This is partly why Samsung has created the Galaxy W. It has a more standard-sized 3.7inch screen and a relatively modest single core processor, but it's also much more affordable as you can pick it up for around £228 SIM free and for free on a £22 a month contract from Three, who supplied our test handset.
Galaxy Ace Plus by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)For one, the 7.0 Plus won’t feel out of depth around dual core competitors but Samsung's own Exynos SoC gives its media credentials a serious boost.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
Galaxy W by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2011)The front facing camera is designed for video calling in apps like GoogleTalk and only has a VGA resolution, while if you flip the phone over and you'll see the 5.0megapixel camera staring out at you.
Galaxy Ace Plus by c|net (Jan, 2012)The 5-megapixel camera on the Ace Plus isn't as sharp as phones with 8-megapixel sensors, but you do get an LED flash.
