In 2015, Samsung has launched their A series phone on the market particularly the Galaxy A3, A5 and A7. This 2016, the Korean company is going to re-launch the A7. It is also rumored to have a battery superior to the Galaxy Note 5 and the iPhone 6.
Regarding the visuals, the design of the A7 is impressive, it is not only larger, but it has sculpted sides as well. The phones dimensions are said to be 151.5 x 74.1 x 7.3 mm (5.96 x 2.92 x 0.29 in). At the front and back of the device, users will see a 2.5D glass that curves all the way around the A7. Samsung used its AMOLED screen that provides crisp color and hue all throughout the display.
The Samsung A7 is powered by the Octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A53 Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 Exynos 7580 with the Adreno 405 Mali-T720MP2 for the graphics. Multitasking will be easy as the A7 is packed with a 3GB of RAM with 16GB of internal memory and an option of up to 128GB via external microSD card.
All this hardware will be powered by a 3,300 mAh of non-removable Li-ion battery that probably will last you a day with moderate to heavy use. The battery life of the A7 lasts an hour longer than the Galaxy Note 5 and the iPhone 6 during a test done by the experts.
For the camera lovers out there, there is a little letdown for the A7 as it has difficulty in capturing scenes. Experts revealed that despite a good light source, the image still appears grainy and below good quality. However, the A7 is equipped with a 13MP rear camera with an aperture of f/1.9 with autofocus and LED flash. Its front facing camera is 5MP with f/1.9 aperture; both lenses can take panorama and HDR photos.
A mix of upgrades and let downs are seen by the experts with the Samsung A7. It will be up to the consumers if the negative side will be outweighed by the impressive additions that the A7 have.
