I purchased this mobile after a month it got released. After a great deal of comparison and analysis on many phones, I decided to buy Samsung Galaxy A7 as it was rising and Samsung is a brand I have always loved and used. The Samsung Galaxy A7 is the first offering from the Korean smartphone maker to feature a triple rear camera setup. The premium looking smartphone features triple 24MP+8MP+5MP cameras at the back and a 24MP front camera . The device comes with Android 8.0 Oreo to boot.

The latest Samsung A-series mobiles you may also look for are Samsung Galaxy A8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy A8 and Samsung Galaxy A50. The 2.1GHz octa-core processor is paired with 4GB of RAM to ensure smooth sailing. The 64GB of onboard storage space can be expanded using a microSD card up to 512GB. The device flaunts a 6.0-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display and packs a non-removable Li-Ion 3,300mAh battery.To all the photographers out there,this phone might not click blog-worthy pictures but definitely clicks instagram-worthy ones.

Pros:

*the triple camera option lets you capture a wide range of shot.
* Good display
* Lets you import all the data (contacts, pictures, compatible apps) and most of your old phone whichever brand it is. This helped me set this phone so fast that I literally started using the phone immediately after I received.
* Fast charging works well
* The battery stays charged reasonably well (loses about 30% charge in 6 hours of normal usage with 4G connectivity in Power-saving mode, about 50% while in normal mode without power-saving ON).
* Doesn’t get heated up while using or charging.
* Great Bluetooth connectivity and 3.5 mm jack for Aux cable (audio).
* Samsung Pay lets you add your credit/debit cards and some wallets and lets you use it even while you don’t carry your physical card. This is an amazing feature that’s brilliant enough to give you freedom from wallets during some walks of the day.
* Samsung Health app lets you measure Heart Rate, Stress, etc using the sensor near the rear camera. You will get some insightful readings and take care of your daily health.

Cons:

* Selfie camera did not work well in low-light. So, don’t expect to have the same performance that the rear camera provides in low-light.
* To add to this list is, Face recognition is pathetic and even the phone’s Security settings don’t recommend it.
* The Android apps get updated almost on a daily basis – but I’m not aware of what keeps getting updated
*The phone has 4 GB RAM but keeps showing only 2.5-3 GB is free at any point in time during the day. And, when certain apps are open, the free RAM drops to 1.1-1.5 GB. This keeps me wondering what will happen if I start using games.
