with 6.3mm metal unibody

Samsung Galaxy A7 is finally official. The metal-
clad smartphone with optional dual-SIM
functionality will be available at the end of Q1
this year in two different chipset configurations.
The Galaxy A7 will feature a 64-bit Qualcomm
Snapdragon 615 SoC or 32-bit Exynos 5430
solution. Both chipsets feature octa-core CPU
(1.5GHz quad A53 + 1.0GHz quad A53 for the
Snapdragon 615 and 1.8GHz quad A15 + 1.3GHz
quad A7 for the Exynos 5430).
Both versions of the smartphone will offer 2GB of
RAM and 16GB of built-in memory. A microSD
card slot for further expansion will also be
available.
Samsung Galaxy A7 packs 5.5” HD Super
AMOLED display. The rest of the device’s specs
include 13MP main camera, 5MP front-facing
unit, and full connectivity suite headed by Cat. 4
LTE.
The smartphone boots Android 4.4 KitKat with
TouchWiz UI. An update to Android 5.0 Lollipop is
naturally in the works.
Physical measures of the Samsung Galaxy A7 are
151 x 76.2 x 6.3 mm, while its weight tips the
scale at 141 grams. A 2,600mAh battery powers
the device. The handset is the slimmest offering
with metal unibody to date.
Samsung Galaxy A7 will be available in dark blue,
white, or gold color schemes. The Korean giant
promises a “competitive price point” for the
device.
