The features of Samsung Galaxy A7

Design

The  Galaxy A7 has an all-glass design. In order to protect the device from damage, it is better to have a protective case and a transparent one at that.

There is no notch since Samsung has opted for the infinity display. The Samsung Galaxy A7 comes with a 6-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080 X 2220 pixels. On the rear of the device there is a triple camera that is on the top left-hand side aligned vertically.

The fingerprint scanner is embedded in the power button located on the right. The volume controls are towards the right whereas the SIM and microSD slot is on the top left side.

Towards the bottom of the Samsung Galaxy A7 is a speaker grill, microUSB port and 3.5mm audio jack. In this device,unfortunately there is no USB Type C port.

UI

The Samsung Galaxy A7 comes with the Android 8.0 Oreo based Samsung Experience 9UI. In the past Samsung devices came with useless apps and a sluggish interface giving it a bloated skin. To do away with that, the Samsung Galaxy A7 does not have many of the apps in order to reduce the bloat and even improve on its performance.

The software however, comes with pre-installed apps and third-party apps. There is also slow UI animations and stutters that do not gel well for the device.

Samsung is providing 100GB worth OneDrive storage space for two years to those have purchased the Samsung Galaxy A7.
