Samsung looks Huawei for inspiration, arrives with the Galaxy A7

Samsung has announced the Galaxy A7 2018, its first smartphone with a rear camera with three objectives, in the footsteps of the excellent P20 Pro Huawei. However, this is a Galaxy A series phone, not a Galaxy S, so it will not challenge the Huawei phone in terms of speed and capacity. Instead, it will be a slightly more affordable route in the world of three-lens mobile photography.

We usually double the goals on phones today. What is the problem about three? The main lens has a resolution of 24 megapixels and an aperture F / 1.7. The camera takes separate photos with the main lens, where four pixels can also be combined into one for enhanced backlit shots and with the 120-degree wide-angle lens. Switching between the two lenses mimics LG's approach to a regular wide-angle lens configuration. The deep lens allows for live portraits, just like the Galaxy S9 Plus and the Galaxy Note 9.

The front camera has 24 megapixels and uses smart software to create a blurry bokeh-style background, as well as studio lighting effects. All this is seen on a 6-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2220 x 1080 pixels, and driven by a 2.2 GHz octa-core processor which, although not mentioned, should be an Exynos chip manufactured by Samsung. the phone is sold.

The design is simple by Samsung standards. The lenses are placed inside a rectangle on the left side of the back panel, which is made of glass. There are dials above and below the screen on the front. The only aspect that distinguishes the phone is the fingerprint sensor that appears to be mounted inside the standby / standby key on the side of the phone.

Android 8.0 is the operating system, not Android 9.0 Pie unfortunately, and there is a choice of 64GB or 128GB of internal storage space with 4GB of RAM, or a special model of 6GB The Galaxy A has a MicroSD card slot, a Dolby Atmos sound, a 3,300 mAh battery and a choice of blue, black, golden or pink colors. . If you hope to use Android Pay, Samsung claims that NFC will only be included on certain versions. Samsung Pay will work normally if.

The Galaxy A7 2018 will be sold in Europe and Asia, but the price and the release date have not been confirmed. This is also not the only new phone in the Galaxy A series that we expect from Samsung, as the company will host an online event dedicated to a new A series on October 11th. Does this mean that he will have four lenses in the back, since the A7 also has four goals in total. We will see in the near future.
