Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy A7, the latest model in its Galaxy A series. With a quad-core CPU and thickness of 6.3mm, it is quite a formidable competitor in very crowded mid-class smartphone market.
“We strive to develop devices that appeal to a broad range of consumers and are ahead of the next big social trend,” said JK Shin, CEO and Head of IT & Mobile Communication at Samsung Electronics. “Combining both a stunning metallic design and a powerful performance, the Galaxy A7 is stylish while delivering the superior user experience.”
The Galaxy A7 will be available in two flavours – single SIM and dual SIM. The dual SIM version will have an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 CPU with four Cortex-A53 (1.5GHz) and four Cortex A53 (1GHz) cores. Its other sibling receives a Samsung Exynos 5430 octa-core CPU with four Cortex-A15(1.7GHz) and four Cortex-A7(1.3GHz) cores.
It will also come with a 5.5-inch 1280 x 720 Super AMOLED display, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage with supplementary support up to 64GB via microSD card, 2600mAh battery, LTE capability and Android KitKat 4.4. For the camera, the A7 whips out a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front camera. This model comes with some snazzy features for its camera such as Wide Selfie, Rear-Cam Selfie and Beauty Face just like most of the other models in the Galaxy A series. Another notable feature is the Private Mode, which Samsung claims it will add “an extra layer of security for important files and documents.”
Samsung says that the A7 will be out in the market by Febuary 2015 but is keeping mum on the retail pricing.
