Samsung Galaxy A (2017) Lineup Announced, Headed to Russia First

Also, we believe the feature will only work with high-end smartphones and only a couple of mid-range devices. The company had asked UL, a US-based safety organization – to dig deeper into the battery issues of the Galaxy Note 7, the report mentioned. All the phones feature metal bodies covered by glass panels on the front and the back, and they will be offered in new colours. Other features include support for Samsung Pay (with both NFC and MST compatibility), Samsung Cloud, and Secure Folder. The new handsets also have a relocated speaker grille, now found on the right side.

Users can leverage modes such as the Food Mode, to optimize photos and enhance the color of images.

The Galaxy A7 sports a 5.7-inch full HD Super AMOLED display panel 1920 x 1080p.

Regarding the upgrades, each A series smartphone now comes with a 16MP front/rear camera paired with improved autofocus.

Battery: The power pack of the device is a 3000 mAh unit with QuickCharge technology, enabling it to charge faster. It runs a smaller battery and 1.6 GHz octa-core chip compared to a 1.9 GHz chip for the other phones.

GSM Arena reported that an update was available for each of the Verizon-branded variants of Samsung’s 2015 flagship models, the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Edge Plus, having software versions G920VVRS4CPL3, G925VVRS4CPL3, and G928VVRS3BPL4 respectively.

The South Korean electronics maker unveiled the Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A7, which are all water and dust resistance, early Monday morning. This means the new phone will be up to 1.8 times more powerful than the already-impressive Galaxy S7. It is powered by 1.6 GHz Octa Core processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The front camera is 8MP with a similar aperture size. Battery capacity in the A 2017 series is also dependent on model: the A7 has a relatively beefy 3,600mAh battery, the A5 strikes the middle ground with 3,000mAh, and the A3 rounds out the group with 2,350mAh.

Unfortunately, the phones won’t be running on the newer Android 7.0 Nougat but will rather stick to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Not only this, but expandable storage is going to become even simpler as the company will allow you to expand your existing storage up to 256GB via MicroSD cards.

The A5 also has dual 16-megapixel cameras, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 and USB Type-C connectivity. Sensors include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, barometer, magnetometer, and proximity sensor.
