The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is a luxury mid-range Android smartphone produced by Samsung Electronics as part of the Samsung Galaxy A series. It was announced on 20 September 2018 as the successor of Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017).

The A7 (2018) is the first triple camera smartphone produced by Samsung, featuring 3 different cameras on the rear. It features a 6-inch Super AMOLED Infinity Display with curved edges similar to the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the power button and Dolby Atmos immersive sound technology.[1]

Design

[edit]

Galaxy A7 (2018) features a Gorilla Glass front panel with a reflective glass back panel, the side frame is made of plastic. It is available in black, blue, gold, and pink with some models supporting dual sim.[3]

Hardware

[edit]

The A7 (2018) features a 6-inch Full HD+ (1080x2220 pixels) Super AMOLED display with 18.5:9 aspect ratio. The display features curved edges similar to the S9's infinity display, but with larger bezels and without curved sides.[4]

The smartphone features an upgraded Exynos 7885 SoC with an octa-core processor consisting of 2 performance ARM Cortex-A73 and 6 efficient ARM Cortex-A53 cores and Mali-G71 MP2 GPU backed by 4GB RAM and 64 GB/128 GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 512 GB via a dedicated microSD card slot.[5] The device retains a non-removable battery like its predecessor, but at a lower rating of 3300mAh, and eliminates Fast-Charging capability. It features a typical microUSB connector, rather than its predecessor's newer USB-C connector. Unlike its predecessor, it goes away with IP68 water and dust resistance.

The triple camera setup features a primary 24 MP sensor with f/1.7 aperture for normal photography, an ultra-wide 8 MP sensor with f/2.4 aperture and 120 degrees viewing angle, and a 5 MP depth sensor for effects such as Bokeh.[6] The rear cameras feature an intelligent Scene Optimizer that include 19 different lighting modes for different scenes.[3] The front camera is a 24MP sensor, complete with its own dedicated flash. The A7 (2018) rear camera features a Sony IMX576 camera sensor, identical to the A9(2018).[7] The fingerprint sensor has been shifted from the back and integrated into the side-mounted power button, a first for a Samsung smartphone.

Software

[edit]

It runs Android 8.0 "Oreo" with Samsung Experience 9.0 out of the box. Its extra features include Bixby Home without Bixby voice support and Bixby button and always-on display. It can be upgraded to Android 9 with One UI and Android 10 with One UI 2.

Availability

[edit]

Following the unveiling, Samsung announced that the device will go on sale in selected European and Asian market from October 2018, with future plans to release in other countries.[3]
