In addition, a frame-less AMOLED display, artificial intelligence, and water and dust protection as per IP68. We&#8217;ll take a look at what&#8217;s missing for a top-of-the-line smartphone.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Galaxy A7 2018 Can do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a quick look at the features of the Galaxy A7 (2018):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Processor:<\/strong> 64-bit Octa-Core (2.2 GHz + 1.6 GHz), Samsung does not name the model exactly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> Super AMOLED 6.0 inches in 18.5: 9 ratio, resolution 2,220 x 1080 (Full HD +)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design:<\/strong> With glass and metal elements and rounded corners<\/li>\n<li><strong>Memory:<\/strong> 64 GB (can be upgraded to 512 GB) \/ 4 GB RAM (there should also be a version with 128 GB of memory and 6 GB of RAM).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> Triple camera with 1x wide-angle: 24 megapixels f \/ 1.7, 1x &#8220;Bokeh&#8221; lens with 5 MP, f \/ 2.2 and 1x Ultra Wide Angle with 8 MP and f \/ 2.4<\/li>\n<li><strong>Front camera:<\/strong> 24 megapixels, f \/ 2.0, selfie light<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connectivity:<\/strong> LTE, WLAN 802.11 a \/ b \/ g \/ n \/ ac (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, USB 2.0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery:<\/strong> 3,300 mAh<\/li>\n<li><strong>Android:<\/strong> 8.0 Oreo<\/li>\n<li><strong>Others:<\/strong> Fingerprint sensor in Power button, Face Unlocking, Individual AI Functions such as Scene Optimization and Image Recognition (Bixby Vision), Waterproof and Dustproof With IP68.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/Samsung_Galaxy-A7-2018\">See Complete Specs &amp;&nbsp; Price of&nbsp; Samsung A7 2018<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The equipment sounds really good for a mid-range smartphone. Especially if this is not to cost more than 46,000 Rs. For mid Range category 64 GB of memory and 4 GB of RAM are less evident, Wi-Fi connections + Hot Spot are supported, the AMOLED display is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/Samsung_Mobiles_Prices\">Samsung<\/a> standard, but dissolves&nbsp;into the Full HD + screen which is very neat. The fingerprint sensor in the Power button sounds practical, also has the face unlocking of course, including a couple of pretty AI elements for better photos.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What the Galaxy A7 (2018) Can&#8217;t do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On a closer inspection, a few drawbacks. For example, a modern smartphone could definitely support the new Android 9.0 (instead of 8.0). Regrettably, Samsung has not yet revealed if the cameras work together.&nbsp;As it was one of the killer features of the&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/Huawei_P20-Pro\">Huawei P20 Pro<\/a>&#8216;s&nbsp;triple cameras with a lossless 3x zoom. Whether the Galaxy A7 (2018) offers that or not, we&#8217;ll soon find out.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung also revealed nothing about the nature of the processor in the Galaxy A7 (2018). Rumors surfacing that it could be a Snapdragon 845, the current premier class. But that would be a sensation for the selling price, and that&#8217;s why I rather go by a much slower chipset.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung has also saved on the connector. It still seems to be Micro-USB 2.0, not a USB-C. Even the wireless charging support is not mentioned anywhere&nbsp;to charge the ample sized 3.300 mAh battery. What we do hear (not from Samsung itself) but rumors say that the camera system can record a maximum of 2K video, not 4K. And LTE? Although it is mentioned&nbsp;but at what speed? we&#8217;ve yet to see.<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Samsung-Galaxy-A7-2018-Front.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 Front\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Samsung-Galaxy-A7-2018-Front.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Samsung-Galaxy-A7-2018-Front-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Differences between Galaxy A7 (2018) and Galaxy Note 9<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pictures released in the official press release somewhat indicate the similarities.

Otherwise, the almost&nbsp;Two times as expensive flagship wins against the Galaxy A7 of course: higher resolution, more battery, more memory, a newly designed S-Pen, a pretty revolutionary water-carbon cooling system, wireless charging and &#8211; most likely &#8211;&nbsp;A faster processor.<br \/>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1252604155088200\" data-ad-slot=\"4579716648\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;on the Galaxy A7 (2018)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018)&nbsp;feels like a lighter version&nbsp;of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatmobile.com.pk\/Samsung_Galaxy-Note-9\">Samsung Galaxy Note 9<\/a>.
