Galaxy A7 leaks (2018) with three cameras facing the rear

The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) certified by Bluetooth SIG last week seems to have been captured in a live photo recently shared by a leak detector on Twitter, as well as information about the so-called design of the smartphone. Specifically, the photo shows the rear panel housing three vertically aligned cameras, and the source says the OEM will incorporate a fingerprint scanner as part of the device. As with many other recent Samsung smartphones, the frame appears to be metal while the back of the device is covered with a 2.5D glass panel with rounded edges.

Assuming the information is correct, it is likely that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) will become the first smartphone from Korean manufacturers to adopt a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, just like Sony and Motorola. whose design features have been respected for smartphones such as the Xperia Z5 and Moto Z3 series, respectively. Nevertheless, assuming this is indeed the case, the Galaxy A7 (2018) could only prepare the way for other Samsung smartphones that could include a side fingerprint reader, as stated by a report of the last summer. Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected to launch next year will have this feature. This could further indicate that the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) will be one of the mid-range OEM manufacturers whose installation is intended for higher-level devices. This strategy was confirmed by Samsung a short time ago, even though, at that time, the company did not name any specific smartphone model that could have been considered for the new design choices of the pilot tests.

In addition, this could also mean that Samsung could still book the most ambitious implementation of fingerprint scanners. that is to say on the panel, for its most high-end devices and might not start this technology before the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus next year. Anyway, the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) is expected to make its official appearance in the coming months and include specifications such as the Exynos 7885 chipset, 4GB of RAM and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The mounted fingerprint scanner could be adopting a larger screen with much finer dials compared to the previous model of the Galaxy A7 (2017).

UPDATE: the renderings of the device also leaked and were included in the gallery below.
