Samsung has announced the latest iterations of its Galaxy A smartphone series
— midrange devices that offer similar looks to the company’s premium
Galaxy S range, while saving costs with slower specs. The new Galaxy A3,
A5, and A7 (which are differentiated from last year’s models only by
their “2017”) follow this playbook without any deviation. Each model has
the curved metal frame, oval home-button-and-fingerprint-scanner, and
glass back familiar from the Galaxy S7, but in terms of innards, you
won’t find more than 32GB of internal storage and a 1.9GHz processor.
As in previous years, the handsets in the A series are
differentiated primarily by screen size. The A7 is the biggest, with a
5.7-inch 1080p display, followed by the A5 (5.2-inch, also 1080p) and
the A3 (4.7-inch, 720p). The two larger devices have the aforementioned
1.9GHz processor and 32GB internal storage, as well as 3GB of RAM, while
the littlest child, the A3, has to make do with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of
storage, and a 1.6GHz processor.
For 2017, all three devices get a shiny new USB Type-C
port, while the larger two phones have also been gifted with Samsung’s
Fast Charge technology. Samsung’s main promise for the new A series is
that it improved the cameras, with 16-megapixel lenses on the front and
rear of the A7 and A5 which the company says feature improved autofocus
and low-light performance. As ever with cameras, those claims will have
to be tested in the field. All three phones also include IP68
certification for water and dust resistance — a welcome addition for the
midrange.
Samsung says the handsets will be available in Russia
first this month, before expanding to other European markets. Pricing
has yet to be announced.
