Samsung Galaxy A7 2017 ||Full Specifications
A Samsung for every taste – that seems to be the main mantra of the Korean giant as of late, as evident by its sprawling and ever-expanding smartphone lineup. We guess it’s always good to have more options, but we just can’t shake the feeling that some of Samsung’s recent creations are beginning to overlap and tread in each other’s territory – at least from the global perspective we have.
The Galaxy A7 (2017) packs a 5.7-inch display, an efficient 14nm Exynos 7880 Octa SoC, a body made out of a glass/metal combo, IP68 certification, 16MP f/1.9 cameras front and back.
Offerings like the Galaxy C7 and its C7 Pro sibling come pretty close to the Galaxy A7 formula and the 6-inch C9 Pro takes things even further size-wise.
The price of Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) in Nepal is Rs54,900.
