Samsung Galaxy A7 2018, features, price and opinions

Your Expert RecommendedThe Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 is already a reality. After weeks of rumors and leaks, we can finally get out of doubt and know what this device is officially like. The most characteristic is going to be found on the back. The terminal arrives with three main cameras, thus becoming the first mobile of the company to include a triple sensor. This means, therefore, that it promises better captures and effects. Also, the A7 2018 has a fingerprint reader on the side, something that we already saw in the Samsung Galaxy J6 +. The objective that the company intends with this is that the user is more comfortable when using it, that it is not so visible, giving more priority to design. For the rest, the Galaxy A7 2018 also has an eight-core processor, up to 6 GB of RAM and Android 8 Oreo. Let's see each and every one of its main benefits.

Three cameras better than one

As we say, the most characteristic of the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 is its triple main camera. It combines a 24-megapixel lens with f / 1.7 aperture, with another 8-megapixel wide-angle lens with f / 2.4 aperture, and a third 5-megapixel lens with f2.2 aperture and 120-degree angle. The 24 megapixel main lens has four pixels in one to get good photos even when there is not too much light. She is the one who does the hardest work. The other two lenses are the ones that achieve the popular bokeh effect or blur effect, which prioritizes one element of the image over the rest.

Imagine that you want to photograph a landscape or a moving scene, the terminal promises to capture a scene as if you were taking it with a professional camera. To all this we must add that it has an artificial intelligence system for higher quality snapshots.

The device also offers different effects to enhance photos. One of them is the Pixel Binning mode, which combines four pixels into one to get better shots when the light is low. It is also possible to use the Live Focus option. Thanks to it, it is possible to control the depth of field to adjust the bokeh effect. We are already looking forward to testing the result to see how the Galaxy A7 2018 pays off in action. If we turn it around, on the front of the equipment we have a sensor that is not bad for selfies either. It has a resolution of 24 megapixels with f / 2.0 aperture.

Leaving aside the photographic section, the Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 also behaves in the rest of the features. It has a 6-inch Super AMOLED panel with a Full HD + resolution. Its design is very similar to that of other company mobiles. It is made of metal and glass.On the front there is almost no presence of frames. We can say that the screen is the real protagonist. Of course, it is true that they are not as small as those we see in other high-end Samsung devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 or Samsung Galaxy S9 +. In any case, there is a clear evolution in this regard if we compare this model with respect to other previous mid-ranges. The rear of the A7 2018 is quite minimal and clean. We see the presence of the triple camera in a vertical position, in the upper left corner, along with the flash a little lower. The Samsung logo is located in the central part. There are no more elements that attract attention.

Inside this computer we find an eight-core processor working at a speed of 2.2 Ghz. This chip is accompanied by 4 or 6 GB of RAM. For the storage capacity, you can choose 64 or 128 GB, with the possibility of expanding through the use of microSD cards. It is, therefore, a fairly efficient set to make use of current applications and games or to work with several processes simultaneously.

Fingerprint reader on the side

As we already saw in the Samsung Galaxy J6 +, the company has included the fingerprint reader on the side again in the A7 2018. It is located right on the power button with the aim of leaving the rear completely clean of elements, except for the triple sensor and the signature logo. The device also equips a 3,300 mAh battery and Android 8.0 Oreo operating system. This platform offers outstanding features, as well as increased security and performance. One of the most interesting is the Picture in Picture mode, which allows you to watch a video while using other applications. Despite the fact that this system has already been overshadowed by Android 9 Pie, we imagine that it may be updated in the future.
