After a lot of leaks and speculations, Samsung has now officially launched its new Galaxy A7 smartphone for the year. The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is the first smartphone from the South Korean giant to feature triple camera sensors at the back. While the company refers to the phone as Galaxy A7, we expect the retail package to have Galaxy A7 (2018) branding.

The phone hints at Samsung’s new strategy for the mid-range smartphones, in which the company is now introducing features that are even not available on its flagship phones. It seems like a good way to stand out in the crowded market.

The new Samsung Galaxy A7 features a 6-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display with 2220 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. Under the hood, the device is powered by an unspecified octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz.

It will be available in three memory configurations — 4GB of RAM with 64GB of internal storage, 4GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage, and 6GB of RAM with 128GB of internal storage. All three models come with a microSD Slot, enabling users to further expand the storage capacity up to 512GB.

The major attraction for the phone is its triple camera setup on the back, placed in the top-left corner. It consists of a 24MP primary lens with f/1.7 aperture, an 8MP ultra-wide f/2.4 lens for wide-angle photos, and a 5MP f/2.2 depth sensor.

On the front side, there’s a 24MP selfie shooter with f/2.0 aperture and an adjustable LED flash. The camera comes with Samsung’s intelligent Scene Optimizer that categorizes the subject and adjusts the color, contrast, and brightness to optimize image quality.

Connectivity options on the device include 4G LTE Cat.6, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth v5.0 (LE up to 2Mbps), NFC is some regions, GPS/GLONASS, and a micro USB port. It also comes with Dolby Atmos for headphones and Bluetooth audio, Samsung Pay, and Bixby.

There’s also a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, similar to what we saw on the recently announced Galaxy J6+. The phone runs Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own Samsung Experience custom interface on top. The device drives power from a 3,300mAh battery.

There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear. Could it be featuring an in-display fingerprint reader? There is no confirmation on it yet. Probably, it could be equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that it could be embedded under the power button on the side of the phone like the upcoming Galaxy J6 Plus and Galaxy J5 Plus smartphones.

This is an indication that these phones are unlikely to deliver Android Oreo out of the box experience.

Samsung is known for providing some of the best features from Galaxy S devices on Galaxy A series smartphones. However, the Galaxy A phones are launched with older versions of Android OS.

For instance, the Galaxy A (2017) smartphones such as Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 that were introduced in January this year came preloaded with Android Marshmallow. These phones were later on updated to Android Nougat.

Previous reports have revealed that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A (2018) smartphones would be equipped with Infinity Display. Fresh renders of the Galaxy A (2018) show the premium design that may be coming on the rumored Galaxy A5 (2018) and Galaxy A7 (2018) phones.

Samsung is known for bringing the premium features of Galaxy S series smartphones on its Galaxy A series phones. Hence, it is speculated that features like Infinity Display and Bixby AI that were introduced on Galaxy S8 and S8+ will be also made available on forthcoming Galaxy A smartphones.

In January this year, the South Korean company had unveiled the 2017 versions of Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7 smartphones. These phones carry similar specs and are fitted with screens of different sizes. However, all the three phones have the same design. Hence, the upcoming Galaxy A (2018) phones are speculated to feature the same Infinity Display design.

It appears that the screens of Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A8 (2017) will support an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 and deliver a resolution of 2,220 x 1,080 pixels. What about the Galaxy A3 (2018)? The original A3 came with a 4.5-inch display and its 2016 and 2017 models have 4.7-inch screens. Hence, it seems unlikely that the A3 will feature an Infinity Display screen. Samsung may either release the A3 (2018) with a regular screen or simply discontinue it and only launch A5 and A7 phones.+

Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) had debuted alongside the Galaxy A3 (2017) and Galaxy A5 (2017) in January this year. The successor smartphones for the Galaxy A (2017) series are likely to debut at the end of this year or by the start of 2018. It seems that Samsung has already started working Galaxy A (2018) smartphones as an alleged Galaxy A7 (2018) has appeared on GFXBench benchmarking site.

The Galaxy A7 (2017) has a model number of SM-A720x. A new Samsung smartphone with model number SM-A730x has appeared on GFXBench. This model number suggests that it could be the successor of Galaxy A7 (2017).

Even the size of the display not mentioned clearly, but the listing states that it supports full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The Galaxy A7 (2017) features a 5.7-inch FHD display and is powered by Exynos 7880 chipset and 3 GB of RAM.

According to GFXBench, the purported Galaxy A7 (2018) will be equipped with a native storage of 32 GB. For photography, it is expected to come with a rear camera of 16-megapixel and a front-facing shooter of 16-megapixel. The rear camera is capable of shooting full HD videos whereas the frontal camera can shoot 2K resolution videos. It is running on Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS.

The 2017 editions of Galaxy A7, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 are eligible to receive the upcoming Android O update. However, sad thing is that Samsung has not released Android Nougat update for these phones. The Galaxy A (2017) smartphones are still running on the older Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS. Hence, the release of Android O will be not only slow of Galaxy A (2017) phones but also 2018 iterations are likely to receive it late.

The Galaxy A7 (2018) is expected to debut with 2018 editions of Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5. Hence, leaked information on other Galaxy A (2018) phones are expected to surface in the coming months. A Chinese leakster had recently claimed that Galaxy A (2018) phones would be coming dual rear cameras.  There is a possibility that Galaxy A7 (2018) may feature dual rear cameras, but the GFXBench listing does not reveal it because it usually shows information on only one camera sensors of the dual rear cameras.
