Samsung South Africa has launched the Galaxy A7, which it said is one of the slimmest Galaxy smartphones on the market.
The Galaxy A7 is equipped with an Exynos octa-core processor – which consists of two separate quad-core processors – 16GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and a 2,600mAh battery.
It also offers many of the same features as the Galaxy A5 and A3, including a 5MP front-facing camera with “selfie” capabilities, such as Ultra Wide Shot and Auto Selfie – which makes it possible to take a photo using a voice command or a wave of the hand.
The Galaxy A7 is available in Pearl White, Midnight Black, and Champagne Gold.
