A stylish and productive novelty in 2016 is the Samsung Galaxy A7. Specifications of this device, its capabilities and cost - this is what will be discussed in detail in this short review material.
Who is this gadget made for?
The Samsung A7 smartphone in 2016 is positioned by the manufacturer as a device in the middle price range. At the same time, this gadget in terms of design is very similar to the flagship S6. Also in this “smart” phone there is a fingerprint sensor. All this in total makes this smartphone much closer to the premium segment. But still, this is a mid-range device with a certain set of additional functions that distinguish it favorably against direct competitors from other manufacturers.
Design solutions
As noted earlier, in terms of design, there is a lot in common between the flagship S6 and A7 2016. Most of the front panel is occupied by the screen in the Samsung Galaxy A7. Specifications really great. The diagonal of the display is a solid 5.5 inches, and its resolution is 1920x1080. We supplement this with a very high-quality matrix of the screen - “Super AMOLED” and get a really good gadget from the position of the touch screen, the image on which really pleases the eye. The front of the smartphone is protected by Gorilla Eye glass with a very high-quality oleophobic coating. The control panel below the screen consists of one mechanical button with an integrated fingerprint scanner and two touch buttons. Above the screen are the front camera, sensor eyes and a speaker. All sides of the device are made of metal. On the lower edge of the “smart” phone, a conversational microphone, a loud speaker, 3.5 mm ports and micro-USB are grouped. On the left edge is the volume rocker of the device, and on the right is the lock button. Here, on the right side, there is a slot for installing SIM cards and flash cards. But on the upper edge of the smartphone a microphone hole is removed, which provides noise suppression during a conversation. The back cover of this device is made of the same material as the front panel - “Gorilla Eye”. The manufacturer’s logo is displayed here and the main camera and its LED camera are located. The device case is a non-separable monoblock. There are three color options for the design of the device - white, black and gold.
"Iron" smartphone
The Exinos 7580 processor acts as the computing foundation for the Samsung Galaxy A7. Its characteristics are as follows: 8 A53 computing units with a maximum clock frequency of 1.6 GHz. In this case, the Mali-T720 acts as a graphics accelerator. The RAM in this smartphone is 3 GB, and the capacity of the internal drive is 16 GB. There is also the possibility of installing a memory card with a capacity of up to 128 GB, but you will have to make a choice: either a second SIM card, or an external flash drive. The main camera is based on a 13 megapixel sensor, while the front camera has a lower value of 5 megapixels. The quality of the photos and videos obtained with their help is not satisfactory. The capacity of the built-in battery is 3300 mAh, which is definitely enough for 2-3 days of battery life.
Software
“Android” version 5.1 is used as system software in the “Samsung Galaxy A7”. Technical characteristics, in turn, allow you to install even the 6th version of this operating system. Experience shows that Samsung does not forget about its customers, and most likely, in the foreseeable future, the necessary software update for this gadget will be released. The rest of the software set is represented by Google utilities, social clients and mini-programs built into the operating system.
Price and owner reviews
As noted earlier, Samsung Galaxy A7 is a mid-range solution. The specifications (the price of $ 435 proves it once again) are really excellent. This smartphone will be a great assistant for every day. Its hardware and software filling allows you to solve any problem without any problems. The advantages of this gadget are:
But the minus is only one for Samsung Galaxy A7 (specifications, reviews prove that there are no other complaints) - a slightly overpriced price, as for a mid-range device. But this is offset by the high quality of both cameras of the device, a fingerprint scanner and an improved display matrix.
Summary
An excellent mid-range gadget is the Samsung Galaxy A7. Its characteristics confirm this once again. The only negative is the overpriced. But this minus is offset by a number of additional parameters that direct competitors of this device cannot boast of.
