From PC World: Samsung is coming out with a new phablet, that will incorporate a metal frame, and comes at “competitive price point”, according to the Korean electronics maker.
The A7, unveiled on Monday, comes just a few months after Samsung announced its two smaller siblings, the A5 and the A3, in late October.
The A7, however, is not only bigger with a 5.5-inch high-definition AMOLED display, but also packs more computing power as it combines two separate quad-core processors. In addition, it has a larger battery at 2,600 mAh, but still maintains a thickness of only 6.3 mm, making it actually thinner than the A5 and A3.
The phone runs Android 4.4, has 4G LTE connectivity, and a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, along with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Inside is 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a microSD card slot to add more memory.
Samsung declined to comment on the phone’s price or availability.
The smaller Galaxy A5 and A3 models initially targeted the Chinese market, where the South Korean handset maker is facing intense competition from rival vendors such as Xiaomi and Lenovo.
