Samsung's new collection of smartphones, the Galaxy A, should arrive before the end of the year. And although before we had been able to know characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy A3 and the Galaxy A5, it has not been until now that we have been able to know precise data of the new Samsung Galaxy A7, thanks to data from GFX Bench and the report confirming the 64 bit processor.
What is clear is that we are not talking about a simple mid-range smartphone. This Samsung Galaxy A7 will have a 5,2 inch According to Tena, whose resolution will be Full HD, 1.920 x 1.080 pixels, so we are talking about a smartphone with a great screen sharpness, to which we should add the fact that it will use Super AMOLED technology, which means that it will probably have a screen very similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S5, one of the best ever installed in a smartphone.
As if this were not enough, it will take a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor (model SM-A700), eight-core, capable of reaching a frequency of 1,5 GHz, and 64-bit. The graphics processor will be a Qualcomm Adreno 405. The RAM is 1,8 GB (in practice this could be translated into 2 GB). The internal memory would be 16 GB, although they would remain 12 GB for the user.
El Samsung Galaxy A7 It will also have a main camera of 12 megapixels, and with a front camera of 4,7 megapixels, thus being of a higher quality than the front cameras on the company's flagships. Later on, the A7 family itself, They are now official, would incorporate configurations of triple rear camera and high-resolution fronts, reinforcing its photographic profile.
The most notable thing about this smartphone is that it will not only have a aluminium frame, as is the case with the Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but it would also have an aluminum back cover.
With these technical specifications we are talking about a smartphone that, although it would not be of the highest range, would have high-level specifications, but with a cheaper price than its rivals called flagships, since it would be 550 Euros, as we already said when we talked about the prices of the new Samsung Galaxy A. If we add to that the rapid drop in prices for Android smartphones, we could find that in just a matter of time their price could be really affordable. In certain markets and variants, figures around 349 Euros, depending on configuration and region.
