Other features include a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen, a 1.8GHz quadcore processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of memory, which users can extend to 64GB with a mciroSD memory card.
A 13-megapixel camera is included on the back of the phone, as is LTE support and a 1.5GHz quadcore main processor that allows the phone to act as a dual-SIM variant.
The Galaxy A7 also comes with a small 2,600mAh battery, a 5.5-inch display and Android 4.4 Kitkat, a type of software that is seeing a great deal of popularity among smartphones at the moment, The Verge reported. The dual-SIM option will also be beneficial to the device in developing markets as well as China and Russia.
