Samsung Introduce Galaxy A7: 5.5-inch 720p display with octa-core CPU

Samsung has officially launched the Galaxy A7. Targeted at a younger audience, the Galaxy A7 has a metal unibody, 5 MP wide-angle front camera and is just 6.3 mm thick, making it Samsung’s thinnest smartphone to date.

The Galaxy A7, like the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 are designed for those who want to express effortlessly their unique style. With these devices, Samsung continues to focus on creating smartphones equipped with the slimmest metal unibody on the market today, with comfortable grip for ease of use. The range empowers users to choose a device which reflects their personal style and lifestyle needs, not just in terms of their unique features, but also their size and color options.

Boasting a 5.5-inch 720p display, the Galaxy A7 is the largest device in the Galaxy A series. The device is offered in single- and dual-SIM variants, both featuring LTE connectivity and octa-core processors. The single-SIM edition is powered by a 32-bit Exynos 5430 chipset (four Cortex A15 cores at 1.8 GHz and four Cortex A7 cores at 1.3 GHz), while the dual-SIM version features the 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC (eight Cortex A53 cores, four clocked at 1.5 GHz and four at 1.0 GHz).
