The stylish and productive novelty of 2016 is the Samsung Galaxy A7. The characteristics of this device, its capabilities and cost - that's what will be discussed in detail in this short review.
Who is this gadget made for?
Smartphone A7 from Samsung in 2016 is positioned by the manufacturer as a device of 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 features that distinguish it from direct competitors from other manufacturers.
Design Solutions
As noted earlier, in terms of design, there are a lot of similarities between the flagship S6 and the 2016 A7. Most of the front panel is occupied by the screen in the Samsung Galaxy A7. The features are really great. The display diagonal is a solid 5.5 inches, and itsresolution - 1920x1080. We will supplement this with a very high-quality screen matrix - "SuperAMOLED" and we will get a really good gadget from the position of a touch screen, the image on which is really pleasing to the eye. The front of the smartphone is protected by Gorilla Eye glass with a very high quality oleophobic coating. The control panel under 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 earpiece. All sides of the device are made of metal. On the bottom 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 - 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 displayed, which provides noise suppression during a call. 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 body of the device is a non-separable monoblock. There are three color options for the design of the device - white, black and gold.
Smartphone hardware
The Exinos 7580 processor acts as the computing basis of the Samsung Galaxy A7. Its characteristics are as follows: 8 A53 computing units withmaximum clock frequency of 1.6 GHz. In this case, the Mali-T720 acts as a graphics accelerator. The smartphone has 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in storage. It is also possible to install 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 smaller value - 5 megapixels. The quality of the photos and videos obtained with their help, raises no objections. The capacity of the built-in rechargeable battery is 3300 mAh, which is definitely enough for 2-3 days of battery life.
Soft
"Android" version 5.1 is used as system software in "Samsung Galaxy A7". Technical characteristics, in turn, allow you to install even the 6th version of this operating system. As experience shows, Samsung does not forget about its customers, and, most likely, the necessary software update for this gadget will be released in the foreseeable future. Otherwise, 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 belongs to mid-range solutions. Specifications (the price of $ 435 proves this 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:
- great big screen;
- great hardware;
- good autonomy;
- fresh software version.
But there is only one minus for the Samsung Galaxy A7 (characteristics, reviews prove that there are no other complaints) - a slightly overpriced price, as for a device in the middle price range. But this is offset by the high quality of both cameras of the device, a fingerprint scanner and an improved display matrix.
CV
An excellent mid-range gadget is the Samsung Galaxy A7. Its characteristics confirm this once again. The only downside is the overpriced price. But this minus is compensated by a number of additional parameters that the direct competitors of this device cannot boast of.
