Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) - User Reviews

  • No

  • Hi I am looking for Board of SM-A720F/DS ?

  • Recent update 450.84 MB ke baad Network Problem

  • I assume the update "pie" available for A7 (2017) Korean region A720S wouldn't work on the Emirates region A720F, the Korean region A720S version comes with a single SIM card and doesn't have a compass sensor. I'll be delighted if someone confirms wither my conclusion is true or false based on his/her real trial.

  • Phone Slow Hang Problem No Any Update 7 Months

  • does it mhl?

  • Can I install for Emirates region A720F ?

  • Please give pie update!

  • I agree, my A7 came with android 7 nougat (UAE region), and it would be fair to get two major upgrades and not just android 8.

  • Korean region get pie update.

  • I demand samsung to release Android Pie update to Samsung A7 (2017), as this phone launched (around March 2017) one generation back software (i.e,Marshmallow) even though new geration software was available at that point of time (i.e,Nougat)

  • Like all I too have an attraction towards technology. Nothing has integrated more services and tech than the cell phone industry. Having used many over the years, I am writing a review for the A7 (2017) post 2.5 years of usage, and continuing. 1. I have never used a phone this balanced and optimally valued. 2.The features have done me good 2+ years now, and I hope to pull of a few more months with it. 3. There has been no software or hardware hiccup. 4. The camera has been astounding all through. Yes night shots are not that great, but for true night/photography there is something called a DSLR. 5. The battery backup and quick charge have been a true blessing. I've not only progressed, but have saved precious time in life. Priceless! 6. The water proof and dust proof rating has been thoroughly tested by me, since I work on an island as a scuba diving instructor. So be assured, A7 (2017) has proven its salt, around salt. 7. This could be an exceptional experience, but having analysed all that's in the market vs this 2 year old purchase. I feel extremely good about my decision to go with Samsung. 8. I was hoping the water proof and dust proof rating would continue in this segment. But alas, Samsung has taken it to higher end phones. Anyhow, its been fantastic, look forward to the next in 2020.

  • no news android 9 for a5 a7 2017 international version (a520f, a720f) , now korean version a720s beta released

  • Looks like samsung is finally providing 3 major OS update for its smartphones. I hope android pie hits the s7 and s7 edge as well.

  • android 9 release beta for Korean region congratulations

  • Even I am waiting for the update

  • Is will possible to android 9 update for a7 17?

  • I own this phone for nearly a year, which is better time to have deep review. It's a mid range phone, slow preforming, weak CPU made by Samsung and influencing GPU too, if you keep opened application while the screen is locked it will take several tries to unlock the phone due to the load on the CPU. If you get multiple messages at the same time from several applications such gmail, telegram, WhatsApp, Twitter the UI will crash too and won't be able to unlock the phone screen. Resource management isn't good the UI Interface crashes repeatedly eventhough all the versions are up to date. Bottom line not recommended only for teenagers very light users. My previous phone was Asus Zenfone 2 ML501 Intel Atom.

  • Is it Water resistant?

  • It could be dust inside charging slot. the phone is dust proof so dust accumulate in charging slot. please clean it with thin pin and i am sure fast charging will start again. cheers!

  • Very nice phone. But will it get android 9?

  • Why does lg+ show whenni turn on my a7 2016

  • It's getting Android Pie, guys.

  • I am now encountering an issue everytime I charge the phone because it will show a notification from "Fast Charging > Charging". The charging method keeps on switch from fast charging and charging mode whenever I charge my phone and it doesn't matter if the phone is On or Off. I already tried using Fast Charge cords and its doing the same thing. It will take a couple of hours now to fully charge my device. I'm not quite sure if its the port itself of the device that is causing the issue.

  • Been encountering the same issue, and in some instances I need to turn the device Off in order for me to charge the phone. The worst thing is that last time when I turned it off the phone wont turn back On, it took me a couple of hours before I successfully turn it On, there are times as well that the phone wont accept charge and in some cases it would not read the Fast Charging mode; I'm not quite sure if there's something wrong on the charger Port itself internally.

  • Can you change new battery you can get solutions

  • Insert the charger type C cable. Then restart the phone while it is still charging. I succeeded with this stupid trick.

  • To m ur A7 2017 free from constant moisture detecting on USB port..... Just akeswitch off ur phone ...den before it about shutting down.....plug in ur charger at once.. it will reboot back. And when ur phone is on it start charging.. leave it there for some 5 to 10 minute to charge up. den u are good to go!! IT work for me!!!!

  • My A7 (2017) started to annoy me by successive warnings from moisture which is NOT true as it had never touched water.

  • Faultless. Best phone I have owned. Pros:Fast, battery capacity more than adequate,Brilliant photos.Cons:Can't think of any.

  • This is a great phone. The battery lasts me all day. It us bulky with the cover I got but better bulky than break it. It still looks brand new. Used it under water once but I used an underwater plastic pouch(didn't want to rist damaging it) I've used it in water park where there are splashes of water but nothing serious. It's still great.

  • Does anyone know when will samsung release the one ui for this device?

  • Heavy/Bulky/Slippery. And the official & expensive samsung case, didn't help by making it even more heavy, bulky, and as much slippery. I was angry because I broke it twice. Merely lasted a year for me. Replaced it by the A50, with a bigger battery and easier to hold.

  • My phone still shows "Moisture has been detected". It was last month when I use it underwater and I already put it on the rice grains for a couple of hours, several times to help remove the moisture, but until now it still detecting it. Whenever I turn the phone off for a minute or two it will disappear but after a couple of hours of usage it will display the same message again. Is there any way to remove it? And I was not even able to use it under water because the Camera or Video Recorder would close after it touches the water.

  • Pros: superb hardware , battery , signal and call quality , amoled screen, average to very good camera... Cons: oversensitive and imprecise touch , unusable stock touchwiz launcher , tons of bloatware, protective case is must-have.

  • this is a nice phone, but they should work on charging slot..hav had A5 and A7 both has this problem...Fix it.

  • Will get android pie

  • Clear the usb cache

  • anyone knows how to fix this error " You phones temperaturr is too low. Charging will continue when the temperature returns to normal" Whenthe charging hits 15% that message always pop up even though i already shot the phone for couple of weeks already. please help.

  • Batteru capacity is not measured in MPH, it is measured in mAh (Mili Amp Hours). The Galaxy Note 9 has 4000 mAh, if that helps.

  • It does have USB-C, which is AWESOME, but unfortunately there is no 4K Video recording. I wish there was, but with only 32GB, you would definitely need an Micro SD card.

  • I got this phone and I think it is amazing, but just be very careful with it and get a case. I dropped mine (without a case) by accident onto concrete from less than a meter and the back glass completely shattered. The camera and flash-light were fine.

  • Sorry, but I checked the update list and it looks like Android 9.0 Pie will only be for the 2018 version of the A7. )-: I was disappointed too.

  • After my Galaxy S4 Mini which i bought two times, this is the best buy i did with Samsung. Great mobile after two years of really hard use.

  • Some Pie in the near future ? Or not...

  • this was the best ever phone after the S and Note lines. usb-c fm radio front finger print smart view amoled ac dual good ram cpu and cam great battery

  • A8 2018 its very good!! A7 have Amoled but no have IP68 No Usb Type C and have plastic frame!

  • True...the 2018 A series is rubbish. No OLED, no usb C, no fast charging, no IP68 and plastic build all for the same price.

  • you are wrong with LCD they use Amoled on A7 2018 not LCD

  • any burn screen problems yet?

  • This is the last good A Series phone from samsung, to be honest, 2018 A Series is terrible, they removed IP68 protection, they use LCD instead of AMOLED

  • i'm using this phone two years ago ... great phone and battery

  • Please update the camera specs because this phone has OIS, and that's really important to say :) This is just a high end phone for the price that it has right now, really nice camera for the price and this superb amoled screen from Samsung 👍

  • Is still worth buy this, in the end of 2018?

  • Which update are talking about?what does it bring? What's new?

  • Great! nice update :) i have this phone for a year and after the update the battery and the performance is better now.

  • Automatically switched off at the time of use

  • Super duper phone I have ever seen. Can not find better value phone these days. New galaxies and iphones are just useless and too pricy. Wish, A7 had speedy video recording 240fps or higher...

  • No, it's on android 8 oreo.

  • Actually I've found the wi-fi to be pretty good.

  • A7 2017 J7 Pro has bad WIFI that's what my friend says

  • hi, I am having this issue. sometimes after calls it will not go back by itself to the always on display screen, but remains on wallpaper screen, an incomplete one, no date, no nothing, just the pure and simple lock wallpaper. when I push home button goes back alright, no more issues. but why does it do it? done a factory reset already. what else shall I do? is it a bug??????

  • Yes would have to root, checked xda already ... but won't do, I'm too lazy and what would be the gains ? Nothing.... So, yea drinking a glas of wine instead ... and about Camera complaints....get some app like OPEN CAMERA man... just software is a bit weaker here but technology is good ...

  • get this device android P ?

  • At least it has a camera

  • Ok. I won't . But I'm interested in Nougat, how can I do? Do I have to root it? I bought it with android 6.01...thanks

  • Received october update 275mb india

  • Get this phone android P? Samsung announced that it did not receive Android 9 for the A5 and A3 but, But there's nothing to say about this set !

  • Trust me dont update your phone to oreo, as the neaugot version is 1 cr. times better than oreo the worst set back which I have got in oreo is of the battery, it has reduced from 2 days to 1 day and 4 hrs. Even after cleaning the Wipe Cache and formating the phone

  • I have been using this phone from long now, I have also update my phone to oreo in August Now what I want to know here is has anyone out there got news that a7 2017 will get 8.1 update, as after checking on the list the name of this phone is missing for this update of 8.1, as the policy of samsung is to only give an update for 1 year and 8 months after that they will never update and send you a security patch file. This news I got from the one of the Sales Employes of Samsung

  • S7 is overall the best out of the phones you mentioned... The rest may win in battery and screen size... but the s7 is the most complete of all of them

  • ...ey. NFC for my car radio, waterproof (last phone wasn't but got wet), Gorilla Glass (a must, hate broken screens), battery very strong (hate worrying), fast enough, storage very good, Dual SIM (I need), resolution good, camera good, fingerprint sensor (ok. why not)... but I've got to tell you that the AMOLED (whatever that is) screen displays very nice pictures, and the..... anyway ...live long and prosper!

  • ...one more, I got Dual SIM

  • I use that phone one month now. I LOVE IT. Considering the price (bought in Hong Kong as a waterproduct), the features.........no better phone for me.... I always choose my phone according to features and price, plus must be Android 6up... Just look at the features then check the price and compare... no better... I am just afraid of upgrading it, will ivestigate... If reading no more negatively affect with Oreo, I'll uprade. Peace and God bless you...

  • Samsung A7, c5 pro or s7.. plz guide me

  • It doesn't have a notification LED. But it does have an Always On Display, which in some ways is better, because you you can see what time it is, and which app is sending you the notifications, all the time.

  • Aod means? Is it really dont have led light notification ? Im trying to find it.

  • Been using this device for 10 months and totally satisfied, Great phone

  • No and you don't need it since the phone has an aod

  • does a7 2017 have led notification light

  • I doubt tho... design is "old" by today's standards and its received possibly it's last os update... but as a phone if you don't care much bout does and its really cheap in your side... It's a very good phone

  • Is this phone still worth to buy next mid-year?

  • yes, super amoled ,full hd

  • The worst camera I've ever seen on a phone.

  • Got this phone brand new and it's very good for a mid-range device amazing display, IP68 Water Resistance

  • It's actually an AMOLED display

  • Me as well. Should we hard reset or reboot somehow?

  • update 1 aug UAE... done

  • Its been a year... Now the battery dies very soon....

  • A7 2017 because : fast charge, usb type c, glass body like S8,9,10..., egsynus 7880 .1.9Ghz,16mp camera.5.7inch lcd.IP68 water resistance

  • Hi guys, can anybody clear to me the difference between SM-A720X and A720f. I want to purchase it but there's only SM-A720X version and most of my friends has the A720f. Thanks

  • Hey pls.. I updated my phone to os 8 now I want to add/remove fingerprints from my phone but I can't see how to again ... Pls help

  • Yeah bro i'm sure about that

  • But the softwares android (nougat) and android (oreo) are not like (marshmallow). The marshmallow was so good for my A7.2017 phone battery. With Oreo its draining fast than before with marshmallow.

  • I changed many phones but don't want to change A7.2017 the best phone. I hope the "A" series will introduce more best phones like this

  • The best phone I have ever used

  • I have read so much about this oreo update that now in my hearts I am cursing myself that why did I go for the update in the first place. After going ahead of the update the phone is giving me these figures. IF by chance u have switched on your bluetooth in the car for 1 hr use wow the MAH is consumed like 85% 1786 mah battery is gone finished from 80% it came straight to 52% I was like hello? Then this amazing cell stand by issue even when getting full signal everywhere but still this issue is there. I dont like oreo samsung if you are reading this. Oreo is the worst update ever. Our belove Neugot was so good that the battery used to be so happy. What were those good day with 7.1 version this one is bad. Now my next phone I will never buy a 8.0 version or if I have to then I shall not buy it.

  • After oreo update Bluetooth is draining my phone battery like sometimes upto 80 percent even if it is off. Does someone else face the same problem.

  • The best phone I have ever used

  • Are you sure about that? I have doubts now about water and dust resistance. Because water or dust might sip in to the crack of my A7 2017.

  • Yes ofcourse

  • My A7 2017 fell accidentally on my back pocket. It has minimal cracks on the upper left corner. Is it still water resistant?

  • of course A7 2017 is much better

  • Did anyone fix the cell standby battery draining? Hard-reset did not solve it

  • A7 2017 is much better than the other two models in every department.

  • Samsung A7 2017 , A6 2018 or Mate 10 Lite ?? Which should I buy?

  • That's very nice battery backup you're getting. A5 was slow with quad core. This model is octa core, this with improved performance.

  • best samsung batery

  • Try A9 Pro Or C9 Pro......... For Long Lasting Battery.........

  • Hi to all. I recently bought this phone based on the reviews that indicated it as a workhorse, something like 2 days lasting battery on a normal use like mine. After 3 days of use, I'm heavily disappointed. E.g. this morning i started with 95% and 14 hrs later I'm at 40%. Medium battery save mode always on, no gps, mostly under wifi, display light very low, i dont play games, i make 1hr phone calls a day and keep active notifications for socials and emails. Almost worse than a5 that i had for 2 weeks and resold for the a7. What's your take? Is it faulty? Thank you

  • Smart view screen goes black when connected to tv..new Keyboard high contrast..always on plus new clock styles..camera..full view..and much more just upgrade to oreo.

  • What kind of features?

  • I'm sorry but I'm not talking about Call Recording, what I mean is Screen Recording like iPhone or Huawei features, they can record the activity that they are doing in their phone screen for a couple of seconds, like they are doing a tutorial or something.

  • I use power saving all the time, don't play with the phone and don't play music, make some calls per day and use YouTube app. I use the ultra power saving mode when I'm in bed. I try to use Wi-Fi as much I can and use the right apps. I DON'T use Facebook app, it cosumes battery and memory (maybe I need to test the lite app but it doesn't matter for me). I don't overcharge the battery.

  • Wait 4 to 6 hour.....when water dry in charging port

  • Restart your phone

  • Someone help me ..plz i recive notification of moistuer on A7 2017 ho to resolve this problem...i can clean the port 2 times but not solve

  • trust me go for a6 it is good and if u have a more budget then go for a8.

  • yes in the latest update there is a call recording feature been given where u can select manual as well as auto recording for each incoming as well as outgoing without the other person knowing that u r recording the calls which can be used against the person at any time of point as we have seen the 3rd party apps out there after some few seconds there is a small beep or a tone which indicated the person if he or she is listening closely that there calls are being recorded but there is nothing such in the latest oreo update.

  • 3 to 4 days battery where and what apps are u using. are u using the s power saving mode then reserve battery when it is fully charged to 100 % then only brother one can seriously achive these kind of figures where only phone and sms work and rest of the phone is silent. then maybe what u r saying can be true. if u r using in a power saving mode 2 option next to the normal mode with data saver mode on and also with jio data connection on then only for 1 day and 19 hrs. i have achieved my personal experience. will little bit of surfing music and facebook and whats app. otherwise there is no way this phone can achieve these figures after the update to oreo.

  • only thing which i personally did not like in the update is that it has reduced the battery time from 2 days to 1 day and also the oreo bring one major problem is of cell standby issue. i mean like seriously 34% consuming like 1574 mah battery. ☺ thats something to really believe it. well i can share a screen shot here with anyone just to prove it. well thats the only draw back, then after searching various sites well alot of people of other brands who have oreo have complained about this major issue. which i am guessing samsung will surely do something about this. also there is no face unlock feature which i was thinking they will be bringing in this update as samsung j7 prime has already got this feature in there latest update.

  • My very humble advice upgrade..oreo is far more better than nougat..ui is very fast plus 9.0 Samsung experience bring ton of features..

  • So overall do you advice someone to upgrade to it... is it noticeably better than nougat in any department???

  • seams your phone is faulty

  • I am having pop up issues on my Galaxy A7 every time I am on Wi-Fi and I unlock my phone it automatically opens anonymous sites on my default browser and this has been costing me money on data purchase need help to get it resolved

  • No bug and the IU is still the same with just little changes

  • How's the update any bugs any improvement??

  • update now available in Nigeria, got it dis morning

  • I have ths phone just from 1 week the battery life is very bad and drop very fast for charging .why

  • I have this device. -Good quality materials and construstion. -GOOD battery life (3 or 4 days without charging the battery) + Adaptive Fast Charging. -Fast processor, even in battery save mode. -A little huge. -Fast fingerprint sensor. -Samsung's device maintenance app is very convenient for cleaning the RAM and the storege. -BAD cameras, very BAD. I'm planning to change it because is broken the Gorilla Glass and the glass back.

  • If you can afford, buy flagship phones of Samsung or Huawei. But if you can't, try to buy 1 or 2 generations older flagships. Never buy mid range phones.

  • Well, I haven't installed too many apps, turned off most of the features, always closed recent apps, restarted the phone regularly. I can say that I tried to use the phone carefully but I got really upset.

  • I think it depends of how u used it. My phone still works fine and im still using it like a new phone until now. My phone is almost 1 year. Hehe

  • Don't be cofused by a7 haters...this a very good phone best in its class..period!!!

  • I was planning on buying this phone but now IÂ’m confused... do you recommend anything for a long term using ?

  • I was planning on buying this phone but now IÂ’m confused... do you recommend anything for a long term using ?

  • It's been 9-10 months since I started using this phone. For the first 3 months, it was amazing. Battery life was incredible, performance was actually really good, software didn't have any problems. But after 3 months, everything started to fall apart, battery life has started to get a little worse, phone has lost 50% of it's performance, software became glitchy. Right now, 9-10 months have passed and battery life keeps getting worse, performance has dropped so much, sofware became sh*t. I couldn't even pass 1 whole year and I started to get angry because of the phone's usability. I won't recommend this phone to someone who wants to use a phone for a long time without chancing it, because it's really unreliable.

  • Any detailed reviews and opinions after the oreo update? Already downloaded it but I'm afraid to install.

  • I am currently using this phone and it works better in oreo. This cost around 24k php when I bought it but not sure how much it cost now.

  • No

  • not only east Africa, nothing for West Africa too.

  • have any changes in selfie camera focus in OREO update? can you take groupie selfie with clear background in OREO update?

  • Dang! Im really disappointed after I update the OS to Oreo, now my messenger and FB hangs there's a little bit lag compared to Nougat. Nothing new at all aside for the Camera features. SMH

  • No oreo update in East Africa ,Country of Ethiopia .Why why why why why why why why

  • Face unlock?

  • How much does it cost on PHP? Am planning to buy this phone, I currently had a J7 PRO and I want to replace it.

  • I'm from Philippines too in Region 8 but sadly no update for Oreo just the Nouget. But can someone please tell me how great is Oreo to have in A7.

  • Today I get an oreo renewal with samsung experience 9, always on new look, face unlock and some other features. This is great, samsung knows to spoil his customers. Unlike other vendors who sometimes only flagship that gets massive updates

  • Oreo so far so good

  • Is there a built in screen recording option for the A7? or have they added that option in the latest OS? I mean like in iPhone that they can record a video on what is showing in the screen.

  • Got the latest update already pending for now. Still waiting for Feedbacks about the changes that it brings up. :)

  • what's new in oreo? face detection? Face sensors?

  • got oreo from Bangladesh 😁😁😁, it's cool.. ✌✌✌

  • good news guys! just got received an update oreo!! philippines

  • Hi, i am planning to buy a phone but i was torn between samsung j7 pro, a7, a6, and oppo f7, so i want to ask from you guys whom is better. I appreciate it. thanks.

  • I'm sorry but where did you purchase your A7? Because I haven't got any update yet. But there are some from PH also commenting that they got the update already. BTW, my phone is Globe locked.

  • Hey, i am filipino... actually the update was totally amazing. As of now there is no update in our country,but i got it 2 weeks ago here in UAE.I'm fascinated.Everything will fall into your hand..User friendly,the battery consuming was really good.It's more accessible.The focusing of camera now okay.And you can do widescreen in camera.New design in always on display.

  • Whats your build number?

  • Seriously? I'm from PH as well and I haven't receive any Oreo update till now. Even though I receive the update I wont risk for any update, for the meantime I'll wait for feedbacks before doing it. After a month of its availability, maybe. :P

  • Goto setting and click app and choose three dot and reset app then your problem is solve

  • If your sure the port is dry restart your phone the message should disappear if it's still wet tho it'll not go

  • Yeah bro i agreed

  • Do not update camera features changed edit picture get worse

  • Yes, it's safe though it's not really meant to be used underwater. It says that it can be up to 1.5m for 30 mins. And also, you cannot charge our phone if moisture is detected on your charge port -- which in this case would take really some time.

  • Yes

  • when is Samsung pushing the new android 8.0 update to Africa

  • dont worry your dream is going to get shattered after the update please go ahead and enjoy the beauty of oreo in india i am from utter pradesh.

  • I am late by one day basically yesterday i received it the latest update of oreo for my samsung galaxy a7 2017. Yes and it is the best update one could get but there is one problem which I have seen well for some it might be an issue but for some i guess it will hardly matter but yes over all the update is the best must see some channels on the youtube alot of improvements has been done over the phone specially my fav is the aod they have changed it like u can get your aod display your style by selecting some good aod from the theme section plus the features which were stopped in the previous version have been enabled in this also the camera quality and accessories in it have been enhanced further what i am not liking is the battery drain by just 1 and i.e. the cell standby it is consuming a good amount of battery when the phone is in a standby mode. like right now itself it says battery usage: 25% of total app (979 mah) ah not to mention there is a 0 app activity at the background which is running i have closed every one of them. even by going inside the secure folder in the apps and system app the all background data usage has been stopped and still the loss of the battery is killing the whole fun of oreo. i have been reading some good vlogs on the internet and there are tons of issues over here which i can see. At one place a person says try *#*#4636#*#* well nothing works even tried doing this on a truecaller i am guessing samsung has removed this feature. I have even gone to an extent of removing the partition from the system but no the problem still persists now i leave it upto u all.

  • Yup. And has fast charging.

  • Isn't it type C 3.0 for charging

  • How hard reset

  • Do the hard reset (Not soft) of your phone after Oreo update. Many problems will be solved.

  • After oreo update camera quality is very bad

  • oreo update start in india

  • After oreo update i face some problem when i change black wallpaper then wallpaper is not black just look like ips pcd black i mean in black burning white light

  • Finally got Oreo in India, that's all number of msg. And miss call do not appear on top of the app icon after clear notification list.

  • Pls what manual cause I'm using 2 sims and a SanDisk 64gb microsd with no issues

  • When will samsung galaxy A7 2017 get update oreo in indonesia?

  • Oreo update is available in India (via OTA). Check for software updates manually!!!

  • Oreo update available in India with may security patch through smart switch Size 2712mb, still not available through live update.

  • The extra slot is "either" for Sim2 or a memory card.

  • They mentioned in the manual that it won't work together.

  • 2 sim and sd card all together not working,,, if insert 2 sims and sd card... sd card dont show up .... any help or suggestion

  • It's a very bad idea to put the phone under water, ip68 is minimal protection against accidents.

  • Who receive OREO update? please let me know your country and when you receive it and how much mb it used thanks .. Have a good day..

  • I used this mobile for 6 months it has great battery, lovely screen , no hanging problem, fabulous camera quality, but you buy it only at 21000 Rs....

  • I use both Samsung S8 and Samsung A7 (2017). Comparision: Experiance with S8 - The Exynos 8895 (I am Exynos user) is still best although the hardware is a year old. The performance is far than A7. It can loading web and game fast even you do a multitasking. For game, it can play in higher setting. - The camera is best. It can record 4k video and slow motion video. The quality picture taken from S8 is best even you take picture in dark place and less noise compare to A7. - Front camera also have auto focus and can record 2k video. The quality on front camera is best compare on A7. Both front and back camera have auto HDR. - The music experience is best. You just do a little adjustment setting in sound alive thanks to 32-bit 384kHz audio chip. - The screen is bezel less and larger to. Because it is curve screen, it also expensive to replace the screen. This S8 also slippery, so need an extra protection. - The battery, still not survive a day because it only have 3000mAh. Experiance with A7 -The battery is excellent. It 3600mAh. It can last more day when browsing or chatting. -The performance is somewhat less or equal to SD625. But, it never heat when browsing, chatting and play game. - For game experience, need to adjust to low or medium setting depend on game support. - Camera, still suffer in quality when take picture at night and blurry because no image stabilizer (OIS). Need standstill to take picture. - Front camera, the quality is still best. But need do a trick to avoid awkward picture. - Music experience sometime muted and terrible to ear. Always play music in 320kbps. Need adjust equalizer on sound alive regularly if audio is less 320kbps. - Screen is just like note 2. So the replacement screen cost is less than S8. If you are user camera experience, hardcore gamer or music listener and don't care the battery life, the S8 is choice. If you are casual user (just for browsing internet, chatting, sometime play game), the A7 is suitable to you.

  • When A7 2017 get Oreo update version in India ?

  • Thank you guys for the feed backs. 1 more thing, is there anyone elses here encountered some trouble with the charger? I once remove the USB chord out from my A7(2017) Charger since my friend borrow the adaptor because her charger port or the cord is not the same with our phone and her phone is J7(2015) after that whenever I try to use my charger to charge my phone I always receive a message in the Notification Panel saying "Slow Charging ..." and a pop up message saying "You are using an incorrect charger, please use the correct charger" A message something like that (PS: I'm sorry I didn't get the exact message) that message shows even though I'm using the correct charger and correct Cord that I use to. Its been going on now for a week and its taking 3 hours from 11% to 30% and probably may take up to a day to fully charge my phone but before when its on a fast charge it just take up to 2hours to fully charge it.

  • Yes it is ip68. Took underwater pics at the beach with it.

  • is the face of all people in selfie photo in distances more than 50 cm clear? if only the background is blurry , this photo is similar to bokeh photos in dual camera phones but Clarity of faces of all people in group selfie is very important

  • Not really..the difference is that the focus is on more people and the background still blurry

  • the selfie camera focus issue has been solved in new update(500mb)? the background in selfie camera is blurry

  • my issue for now is that whenever the battery reaches any percentage below 20% and you will charge it and once reach at 92 or 93 it will go back to 90 and then a very slow progress to 91 92 93 94 and once it'll reach 95 it will fastly go to 100. but the battery will surely last long in use.

  • ...the third good charging...oauuu!!!

  • A7 2017 or moto x4?

  • Already did that but still the same proboem

  • Samsung should fix the charging issue after nougat update when charge is stuck at 92%

  • Its either from an app you have installed that is causing that. Or it could be a type of adware, and if that is the case then use an anti malware app to scan for it and deal with it... If these pop ups are only on specific websites on your search engine then its normal.

  • a7 better than j7

  • Camera changes please.....

  • Factory reset unable to solve this issue, i did try at least 3 times.

  • Those, who are facing charging problem after Nougat update, Please do factory reset once after Nougat update. It will solve your problem.

  • A7 2017 vs S6 edge+ ?

  • I use this last 6 months. All are very good accept selfie cam. After android 7 updates have a charging issue.

  • I currently have a Samsung A7 2017 and all I can say is I am loving it i no longer have to bring my powerbank everywhere I go. The phone lasts the entire day. I'm not a heavy user and I leave the house with 100% and come home with 89% and I was only gone for 6 hours all i did was call people and use messenger and social media apps. I really love this phone swear

  • battery backup is very good and display 5.7" as well as very good for playing game and watching vvery.

  • 5.7 inch is too big... i prefer 4GB RAM than bigger screen

  • Yash, The price for A7 2017 this january 2018 is expected to be 17K philippine peso

  • Battery backup is good...mine is 1.5 day.

  • Does anyone have the a7 2017 and can you please tell me how is the battery life and call/audio quality? thanks

  • Try to switch off ALWAYS ON DISPLAY during charging your device. It may reach to 100%. Good luck.

  • It's. Good phone from mid to high processor range and the best for that series I highly recommend it as it also come with dust and water proof ip68 for a affordable price.

  • When I update nought. After My mobile have some changing issues... mobile not full charge at always pls give solutions

  • When I update nought. After My mobile have some changing issues... mobile not full charge at always pls give solutions

  • Same problem of mine. Upset for this problem 😑

  • no glass cove

  • It has glass cover to backside don't drop the phone

  • Really? Are you sure about charging? Have you Nougat? Why we have problems with charging?!

  • Samsung Galaxy A7 2017 best device What is better than a Flagship camera at half the price. Premium looks. Feels rich

  • Good point. But how would we dry it - A hair dryer (on cool setting, not warm) ? My unit didn't mention it on the quick start guid, if memory serves me well. ;)

  • Lol, I would be much happier without that feature. But well, If Sammy says what is better for me, who am I to say else...?

  • Sounds wrong... On Amazon I just found S7 for $420 while A7 was $350, all US Dollars. Please note many offers on the internet are for used/refurbished/returned/display phones, while a few rare cases are sales of special editions; also you can find many variants, specially with more or less RAM / storage memory, colors, etc. Those things can change the price based on demand.

  • Basically 16 is MORE pixels than 13, so it is expected to be better. But it is a TRICKY question... Pixels alone don't make a good camera. Has it Optical Stabilization? Optical Zoom? Are the sensors good under different light conditions? Fast shutter to get movement? What about the lens, f1.7, f2.0, f2.2 ? Refraction free? Reflection free? Do all these stand time/use without distortion? What about temperature / humidity? The pixel count is relatively close: 16-13=3 Mega Pixels, that is 23% more but not necessarily better. And you need to check how those pixels are arranged (shape, size, density) and the material / fabrication methods.

  • There are better phones in that price range. If you can't wait, make a list of priorities: What is most important for you: Camera? If so, forget the A7 2017, the 2016 model was much better. CPU performance? GPU for games? None of those are A7's strong suit. Build quality? Design? That is where this guy shines, and it is water proof too! Good luck!

  • Did you try a repair shop? It is possible you got a deffective battery/regulator. Mine always work like a charm: Lightning fast to 50% and a little more to 80%, always completed 100% without a glitch, it doesn't even warm up. Battery life isn't outstanding but at least it stands the same after nine months use.

  • I had one for 9 months and as many people can confirm, it never worked well; Samsung did something wrong with auto focus. Some people say it needs a steady hand, proper light and give the thing some time to work, but that make it useless for most real world photos. Front camera is near useless for close-up shots as back (main) camera is poor for details due the lens. All my other phones had better cameras, even if lower pixel count: Galaxy S2 and J7, even LG Magna. Yes, it has 16MP but takes shots in old 1x1 square format, not widescreen! And no useful effects / features in camera software too. Control menu is too clumsy/slow to use in a hurry. The front (selfie) camera is also 16MP but really lower quality compared to the main (back) unit. The single flash in back is mediocre and front has none. For such a price, the only good thing is the water proof and quality build.

  • i want to buy a samsung A 7 2017 right now if in January 2018 the possibility of price reduction of this device please tell.

  • Wait for next month when A8+ been launch, I believe A7 (2017l) will have a good price cut.

  • I want to purchase Samsung galaxy a7 2017. In current time.. Its GoooD or not... Please suggest me I buy on not..

  • A7 2017 update Bixby

  • If u are searching for the best camera among three of the phones, Samsung galaxy a7 2017 is the best. It come with 16mp primary camera & 16mp secondary camera.

  • Had mine for 9 months. Good look, build and performance. Here's my opinion: First, camera is bad. Stabilization and focus are faulty and pictures are 1x1 square format, not widescreen (good if you miss the old Polaroids). But my J7 2017 did better. Second, battery is good under "normal use". Always On Display is cool and handy but disable it or use quick charge as you go. As far as you don't play games too much and power outlets are available, battery is no big deal. Third, it is well made but not a tough guy. Curved sides on display make glass shields useless; I found good flexibles. Droped once from car seat to rock ground while using soft TPU/silicon case and shield, no damage. Diped in the kitchen sink for a minute (under the tap running water), no damage. Sturdy, for a glass covered looker gadget... In my opinion, it is an overpriced mediocre phone with an unreliable camera that can ruin that good/important shot. Also it is full of locks and bloats, allows only Samsung's themes and wallpapers unless you use apps, the default wp selector is restricted - wow! and takes long to see updates. Conclusion: Not buying Samsung again any time soon, that's too much for the price and if needed, they won't repair my phone here because it was bought during a trip to another country. So it's global market, with boundaries, like DVD's. This Christmas I looked to Motorola, Xiaomi, etc. and ordered my next phone... No Sammy.

  • Ridiculous problem while charging... Everything is good, one of the best phones but while charging it will get stop/stuck on 88% or 90% and will take ages to go further... Changing it tomorrow with J7 Pro, no need of such thing which gives u problems...

  • Looking for a GOOD VR for this model of phone, any recommendation please

  • Hahaha, I backread just for this. He probably knew it, and was just trolling.

  • Wish it had band 12 for tmobile

  • A7 is awesome back camera are superb but only disppointed front camera liitle bit blurry but camera is good

  • realy.. actulay i want to buy this phone, and i need friends opinion for this cell phone

  • Lol.. Funny. He meant messaging 😂😂

  • Dear friends, this phone is really awesome and expensive but it's worth.

  • Actually man stay tuned. MTK goes only in low end LG phones, 150-220$ and yeah MTK is bad all the ways but u get what u pay for, now speaking about 1080p probably 95% ppl use 1080p or even 720p as desktop monitor , size 20+ inch and now arguing about 5-6 inch screen? i dont get it u will not see difference unless u use VR, than... actually lg had bootlooping issues , overpriced phones, (G flex 2 first few months) G6 was overpriced too couse last year chipset , but man, LG have best camera expirience for me (it comes to preference ) im proud user of G2,G pro 2,G3 , G flex 2 , G5 and now V20, looking for V30 probably, and not so proud on my dead G4 and Nexus 5x, but man try to find phone with better camera , with SD820 and up, IR, dual camera setup, removable battery , fp, quad dac, always on screen, for up to 400$ i guess there is 0 results . Xiaomi provides nice spec for example but miui and cameras are awful, it's ok there is better phone than LG but not for the price, let me explain ... Note 8 , Iphone X , Pixel 2 XL, Mate 10 pro , LG V30 , all of these phones are better than V20 but not 500$ better. this guy comments on A7 wich means up to 400$, idk if i must say the best current phone it would be Mate 10 pro but its so pricy.

  • hello my friends. can anyone help me? do you receive any update for front camera blurry issue? in selfie camera the background is blurry only in distance 30 cm ~50 the image is clear

  • 16 mp

  • I don't like LG company. They don't use at least fhd display in high midrange phones or mid snapdragon processors. They use the trash mediatek. A company which sell trash for people. Innocent people are deceived by it

  • I bought it a month ago. great phone.

  • Is this phone really more expensive than s7?(I searched that s7 only costs £450 while a7 costs £530), I thought S series are better and have higher price...

  • A7 2017 is a great phone

  • Wow, teach me how to make my A7 become a massager.

  • v 7

  • Guyz how many android updates it will get??

  • you cant say by mp number ... lenses , software, aperture, sensor size , as well as sensor release date and so on... 12mp F/1.7 is better than 16mp f/1.9 etc... also samsungs and htc's dual pixel tehnology works well but if u look for a phone up to 350$ i would recommend you an LG V20 , personally i own it it have better cam than s7 edge and in some situations even S8 one, sure S8 is better in 60% of situations but 600$ vs 350$ i cant complain also i use quad dac as well :) i'm multimedia based user...

  • Go to service centre and unlocked your phone

  • Which is better 16mp or 13mp?

  • Yes

  • I bought this mobile from thailand but india volte is not working anyone rooted this phone or flash indian firmware i just read in internet i have to change csc file anyone has any idea??

  • Wow.. Its new version of A7 2017 "spiderman edition" lol.

  • Yes

  • Sure it does.....one drop I made and it cracked away the spider webs on gorilla glass.

  • My a7 2017 manufacturer date is October 2017....Does it come with nougat preinstalled

  • this is extreeemely Wrong ... the phone is awesome

  • Its glass, make sure you don't drop your phone "1 time drop sure dead"

  • Agreed, look like we are same experience of using A7, I didn't play or download any game on my A7 & i use for facebook, youtube, music, movie, massager & internet browsing & i didn't face any laggy/slow on my A7. I think this devices is not suitable for gaming.

  • I am a user of the phone bought it recently and immediately updated to nougat... it doesn't lag one bit the phones been smooth since day one camera and battery life n charging speed a well above average.. overall a good buy that I don't regret.. ps I don't play games on my phone so I don't know if that would slow it down.. I just use it for browsing and social media plus instant messengers

  • Back is glass please don't drop it..

  • Don't buy, this phone has lag & many issue after Nougat updates, Samsung still cannot solved it, is already many months.

  • And more bad thing about charging...read the old posts.

  • Is this mobile runs fastly or lags or having issues etc ?? I wanna buy please tell.

  • Since Samsung haven't release software update for this issue & you may try this, switching OFF "ALWAYS ON DISPLAY" during charging your phone & it may reach to (100% full charging) im using NOLED notifications download from google play instead of using samsung always on display so i did not have such of issue. Good luck.

  • Yyeeesssssss.....

  • Does it has metal back cover or its just a plastic....because when I knocked on backside it sound like plastic....plz share your comments

  • Samsung c9 pro or a7 2017

  • Do you means software update for the issue stop charging when reach certain level?

  • Please can anyone suggest me? I just want a suggestion ... Huawei mate 10 lite(nova 2i) or Samsung a7 2017 or Xiaomi mi note 3 , which I go for camera ? Please help me.

  • Hello, I've had my A7 2017 for 7months now, i am recently experiencing charging problems, my phone stops charging and says that the phone is overheating charging paused, what's strange is that if I connect my phone either on my laptop or car power output it charges. Please help

  • A5 is a better deal yet worthless. A7 is worse than S7 Edge in most ways yet more expensive. S7 Edge is a better deal than A7 (2017). If you want a phone with budget spec then better go for any Motorola or Nokia. I would say Z2 Play or X4 from Moto and 6 or 7 from Nokia.

  • same here The battery is charged to 92 percent and stop

  • is there any Updates after the original Nougat 7.0 (1400 mb) update ?

  • Its a feature which is also present in iphone

  • Selfie camera not focussing all objects. only the person holding the camera is focussed.

  • Then get it to a service centre let them check it out for you

  • i did. cause from the moment it was wet, there's this notification that says moisture content detected

  • samsung is not good ?? why

  • I did not receive a y messages came from my friends I have a signal and my simcard is new.. what happen.. My phone is almost new

  • i will recommend bu oppo. I've been using A7 it's not good.

  • what ai only like about A7 is the battery. you can use it longer. but It's always hanging. Evrytime I used Facebook and Instagram the phone can't perform longer then It will automatically restart the app. I don't know why. I always reset my phone to factory settings but It's still the same. speed is a crap.

  • 3 months of using this phone and suddenly there's this surprising moment when the sound went off. No matter how many times I plugged in and out the earphone still not working. The speaker was too. I maximize and minimize the volume keys several times and still nothing. But after I reboot the phone, the sound came back. But the next day, it happen again. And again. And again. I installed quite many 3rd party apps and drown my phone for a short in a pool but its ip68. Should I format it?? Please help. This is the only issue I'm facing right now.

  • Im drain my battery twice a month & i can tell you that its 100% nothing goes wrong, and this will help your battery life longer. You batter check with your usb/adapter.

  • Selfie camera is just shit

  • Lesson learned! don't drain your battery it will affect the performance of your phone and also there is a possibility that the phone wont turn on because the battery is built in.

  • it so happen that the battery was empty and then was charge from 12MN up to 7AM but until now i cannot open my phone. What is the problem and how to open back my phone.

  • My connection 4G+

  • What are we doing about charging baterry?? Still no solution..!!!

  • Yes am having issues with the phone internet speed with botb wifi and cellular networks especially googleplay app it takes several minutes to updates and sometimes it says download pending..

  • It does support 4G, but seriously what do u expect? Malaysia have crap network coverage for both mobile data and WiFi

  • Lack of image stabilization don't let the A7 to be perfect. A simple lack of image stabilization.

  • I just bought A7 2017 in Malaysia. Everything really cool but it cant detect 4G network even after 4G have been selected in network setting. Its just appear 4G for about 2 seconds and it back to H+ icon. I try to dial *#2263#, selected on Band Mode but there is showing 4G/4G is not allowed. Is this phone really work with 4G or not???

  • Only background is blur not faces

  • Which worthed to buy A5 2017 or Oppo F5 (6/64) because the two almost has same price, thanks in advance.

  • Is anyone facing blurring issue in front cam if face is beyond 30-40 cm? What is the solution?

  • Camera software is good, i'd say 9/10 if there's only Image stabilization.. I hope samsung does something about this.

  • New 330MB update has given 'Background Blur' effect in front camera. Just press small above recording button. It is also working fine.

  • There is camera improvement.They have add some smiley jn camera filters.The selfie camera is not blurry anymore

  • is it possible to be the same update with 104 mb for uae?? but why is it so big in comparation?

  • What does that update bring?

  • Got November security update India 330mb

  • A7(2017) is way better than these 2 phone

  • Yeah man! I face this issue and you can go service centre and check this problem

  • I've been using this phone for 3 months but last couple of days when i try to play some music it didn't have any sounds though i plugged in and out the earphone many times neither the speaker too. But it was solved when i reboot my phone but i'm pretty sure it'll happen again. Have you guys experienced this issue too?

  • Front camera says 16mp but camera quality is like 8mp

  • i want to buy a phone, please guide me which one is more better, samsung c7 pro or huawei mate 10lite

  • Ops.. i dont remember the spec, mine 16GB & i brought it since 2 years ago with my note 5.

  • I just got my version of A7 (2017) yesterday to give it away as Christmas present, and once started it updated to Nougat. The problem is that it micro-freezes from time to time just navigating through it. It doesn't have any 3rd party apps installed yet, just the ones pre-installed from factory. Erased Cache Partition and also Factory Reset (several times both) after Nougat update and still have these micro-freezes. Any idea on how to fix them or if anybody else have them? Could be some faulty hardware and then I just have to return it.

  • what speed is this card I need to know if the device will detect a 128 GB memory card At a speed of 667

  • I experienced that too. It'll stop at 93% and maybe coupe of minutes later it will continue to charge till 100%. But so far, no big issue at all for two months or almost 3 months of using it.

  • a7 2017 most outstanding feature is the screen brightness and battery life ... awesome ♥

  • Can we play high graphic games on this phone? Like nba2k17?

  • A7 2017

  • I have a A7 (2015) and as a user who does not play games or run heavy applications, I still prefer the 2015 model. I bought mine for 275€ (02.2016). I think A7 has been downgraded in design and price-performance ratio. I appreciate the updates in battery (most obvious improvement), camera, OS, RAM etc. but for me who mostly watches youtube or surfs the web the upgrade is not worth the extra cash.

  • which is best...p10 lite or a7 2017?

  • Im using "kingmax pro class 10 - OTG" without any issue.

  • Does anyone know if the device has problems identifying memory cards? SanDisk Cards Ultra or Extreme or Extreme Pro SanDisk Ultra 667x SanDisk Extreme Pro 667x SanDisk Extreme Plus 667x

  • I used my A7 2017 under 2 feet at swimming pool to take pictures and video, how ever the speaker becomes very weak, is this normal? until now it's weak 24 hours later

  • Yes maam it is automatically update the version to nougat..just like my phone before marshmallow but now i got nougat..

  • Did you use "official Samsung A7 2017 clear view case"? Some of the comment on google said "Samsung A7 2017 clear view case" may 1 of the reason cause the changing issue, so i just take off my clear view case & try to start changing from 88%, yes.. its reach to 100% fully charge (i did twice for the test last night) for now i will keep monitoring on it & see if they anything i will share with you guys.

  • Yeah bro i face this issue sometime

  • No problem here it is charging perfectly

  • Yes

  • Means no need to switch off the device? Just unplug & plug it again? Really? All right i will try it later. Thx mate

  • Does this phone has a Fm Radio installed already

  • Same here mine goes to 97% then stops. So i unplug and plug in again to reach 100%

  • A7 2017 battery changing have very serious issue. Changing reach 92%/93% will stop/slow & need to switch off device to continue change will only reach to 100% fully charge. Samsung should seriously look into this issue.

  • A7 2017 is much better than j7 pro

  • Yahooo! I just bought mine Galaxy A7 2017 1 hr ago and it's awesome. Camera, fingerprint, speaker, screen. 100% good. Fingerprint very fast. Picture quality is very nice. And there's already update but maybe I will update next time. I will test and enjoy first 6.0.

  • The update with104 mb was after nougat update!!!

  • I just bought Samsung a7 2017 a while ago. 😍😍😍

  • Nougat update is of 1.4GB not 104Mb. 104 Mb might be of some security updates that's u could not notice any visual changes in yr phone.

  • How J7 Pro is better than A7? Give your views logically at least. A7 has better processor (7880), Better GPU (Mali 830 MP3), IP68 (Water and Dust resistant), Front Glass is Gorilla Glass 4, Higher Bluetooth Version, Micro USB Type-C reversible Connector, Fast Charging Support, MP4 H.265 codec support and Barometer sensor too. While both have same RAM, Same battery, Same OS (Nougat and will get Oreo too), Samsung Pay, Always On Display and other remaining specs are same. Also, A7 has screen of 5.7 inches. I think J7 Pro is slightly over priced. And it will be better deal to prefer A7 over J7 Pro. One can compare both at,

  • J7 pro is better

  • someone pls tell me quality of rear camera, can this phone beat oppo r9s camera?

  • You don't get what i said, im not mean the loudspeaker BAD but the loudspeaker for A7 2017 can be BATTER! i own alot of samsung devices & i only use samsung brand so just compare MY A7 2017 with MY J7 2016/J7 prime & see what you get?

  • guys which is better galaxy a7 2017 or galaxy j7 pro

  • If you care of sound quality, it's ridiculous to use built-in loudspeaker. Use headphones instead. You can't expect good sound from a small device. Bass cannot be reproduced. No stereo. Low fidelity anyways. I can't understand people that listen to music, with the loudspeaker of their smartphone.

  • Thanks..but it is not a right normal.

  • Thanks..but it is not a right normal.

  • I had same issue when i was running on a Russian firmware. I later flashed Australian Rom and it's been fine ever since. no issues at all.

  • After nougat update...after 104 mb update...after factory reset...nothing change..charging to 97% ..back to 92%.

  • But the loud speaker sound not premium!

  • Does anyone know if the device has problems identifying memory cards? SanDisk Cards Ultra or Extreme or Extreme Pro SanDisk Ultra 667x SanDisk Extreme Pro 667x SanDisk Extreme Plus 667x

  • ...please read my last messages.

  • Most of the negative comments are posted by people who do not own this device.

  • anytime A7..... premium device....premium feel.....premium performance

  • ...please read my last messages.

  • There is no Blur issue in its "Selfie" front camera. It is a Blurring feature for the background. Notice your face is clear but background has Blurring effect.

  • Android Nougat 7.0 is available in Egypt

  • Android Nougat 7.0 شغال في مصر

  • He must be talking of the earbuds, provided with the phone.

  • Are you from Future or from another galaxy?? or you might be from China. Your comment doesn't have any solid reason. You are just jealous.

  • Same issue here..

  • This will be far better with Resurrection Remix Custom Rom

  • ...still waiting for a new update to resolve the charging of battery after nougat update..

  • A7 2017 is far better than j7 pro

  • Please advise me to buy which one A7 2017 or J7 Pro ???

  • A piece of sh&#... one of the worst phone ever used seriously fed up with this handset.. full of issues and problems

  • undoubtedly go for S7egde.. i have used both of the phones.. personal opinion s7 is far bettr thn A7 17

  • Got my update the day I bought it, I'm in Morocco.

  • Hi, I'm from Egypt as well. As far as I know, the Nougat release date hasn't been confirmed yet for the MENA region, however, someone posted a link for the turkish Samsung page in the XDA forums mentioning a window of 19th till 25th of November date for the update release in turkey, so perhaps Egypt will also get it on those dates. Not sure though.

  • which is good??a7 (2017) or s7 edge??? im confuse between this 2 phones...

  • It's a pity that samsung don't mind at all with updates in Africa,whether you buy even a flagship. it takes ages to get any update....

  • Very good

  • I am from egypt . And i am wondering when will samsung updat a7 2017 to nougat

  • So what

  • It does not have LED notification in front.

  • I will choose Samsung galaxy A7 2017. First, LG V20 will be exclude from my selection because LG G6 is better than LG V20 although LG V20's primary dual camera is better than LG G6. The fuction of Samsung galaxy A7 2017 & LG G6 are almost the same. But Samsung galaxy A7 2017's primary camera (16mp) is better than LG G6 (13mp) & Samsung galaxy A7 2017's secondary camera (16mp) is much better than LG G6 (5mp).

  • does it has led notification light in front

  • A7 2017 vs LG g6 vs V20?

  • Well said. I advice u go with this review. Itz true. In addition, Samsung seems not to cRe about tge C series OS update. The ONLY advantage is the 4GB RAM in the C series. A7 only has 3GB which still doesn't cause phone lag.

  • I will choose Samsung galaxy a7 2017 because it has more function than Samsung galaxy c7 pro. Such as, Samsung Pay & IP68 certified dust/water proof over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes. Besides that, Samsung galaxy a7 2017 is more beautiful. But it just has 3 GB RAM, Samsung galaxy c7 pro has 4 GB RAM. I heard that Samsung galaxy a7 2018 is coming soon in 2018 years. You can refer at GSMARENA.

  • October Update Changelog - New Camera function: selfie focus, stamp, skin tone, AR sticker - Device stability improvements, bug fixes - New and/or enhanced features - Further improvements to performance Seriously, I expected too much with "selfie focus". But it's not a perfect feature yet. Background blurring (including people blurred in the background) on selfie shots is still occuring. :( IMO, the selfie camera is great for one person only. :(

  • Go for samsung.. durability, service, quality, Value for money, If need all these go for samsung.... i am using samsung from 2015 still yet no complaints no worries may be some modres have problem but overall samsung performance is good and its tge best...

  • Everything is good but 3rd class camera.

  • Samsung

  • Samsung is better or oppo is better pls tell me which i should buy

  • I upgraded 2 Nugat and the selfie camera continues with the same unfocused problem you should try download open camera on the play store.

  • Please help me to find out which is best Smartphone A7 2017 or C7 pro suggest me

  • that is very true.

  • Is any improvements on the selfi camera in the new update(154MB) or on Android 7? the background is blurry in selfi camera

  • 154 MB software update. Camera filters have been added in this update.

  • Why Samsung didn't use OIS camera on this model? This is very peculiar because this version is not a lower version.

  • How to update camera please tell me..

  • How to update camera?

  • Really?? where are you from....154 MB software update or camera update

  • A7 2017

  • Its all up on you.Samsung galaxy note 4 is a 2014 flagship device still a great phone even todays note 8 got the same resolution as note 4, 1440*2560 pixels.what not4 doesn't have is duel sim always on display these are pretty much in trend these days.but there will always be some difference between flagship midrange.I have heard alot of people complaining about its mother board.this device is known for that issue so everything is on luck.

  • Really?? Should be great!!!

  • Should I get this or samsung note 4

  • Should I get this or samsung note 4

  • Received 154MB camera update. A range of filters have been added.

  • Great. It's an excellent device .No hiccups until now.

  • Front camera sensor is fixed for blured

  • Now it s ok. Charged to 100% and i think it is a little more powerfull with nougat.

  • After updating my A7(2017) to Nougat Always on display not working properly

  • poor selfi images in my new phone A7 (2017). Only front person get focused and persons little behind are unfocused and appears as blur when seeing the image.

  • From sleep mode it's hard opening the phone it sometime take about 20 seconds or if not being reset it will not open.

  • Happening in a5 2017 also . geta stuck at 92% now aftr update.

  • SM-A720F

  • The camera is decent . The images are pretty sharp. Watch the camera comparison

  • May i know what's the version # of your phone

  • No Dear . Camera is not great. I know how to hold the camera while taking a photo. Image stabilizer is not good in recording. Pictures do not have much details in the photos.

  • Is it after nogut update

  • I do not say it is bad. Last Sunday it took photos from A7 (2017) and J5 (2016) at the same place. it was full sunny day. J5 photos are much much better compared to A7 (2017). But most of times I take indoor photos of some docs (for my office work). For me A7 is much better because of very goods battery life. But you need to make your own decision.

  • What s going an??? In about 3 h charged to 98%!!!. I restarted and put again to charge and then a few min reached to 100%. I am on nougat...what s going an???

  • I hear some comments saying that the camera quality is bad, people it's not bad learn how to hold it properly and it will come out in good pictures

  • If you are after which one have the better chipset and gpu go with A9 Pro.

  • Because maybe he couldn't get any of the S series! Do you know how much the S8 costs?

  • Why not for S7 or s8, a series camera is junk, just battery life is good further u decide...

  • Please advice: Should I go for Samsung A9 pro or Samsung A7 2017.. Thanks

  • 100% Agree. I threw A7 2017 into dustbin and bought Canon EOS Rebel T7i . This is an AMAZING camera. why don't you try?

  • This camera not good... Garbage .. F..king he'll .. Don't buy

  • Settings, Software update you can update manually. you have an option to download updates automatically also.

  • I bought the phone a week ago. Before do anything I checked for updates and it was there.

  • why there is no sound of original message alert ??? only notification's sound for what's app ....

  • after I updated my A7 2017 into nougat, battery charging always stuck at 92%. any solution guys?

  • When u receveid update nougat?

  • Yes. I received. I am from Malawi

  • How to upgrade?

  • I purchase the phone today .i am from lebanon.the phone is superb but my phone still on old version 6.01.u received the update nougat?

  • I also bought this phone below are my feedback: Advantage: - waterproof and Dustproof - can take pictures even though my hands are wet. - Battery - superB battery. I also owned S7 Edge but the battery capacity of this device is great. - fast charging Disadvantage: - Lag - from time to time i can see the phone is lagging. It takes many seconds to open an application maybe because the RAM is just 3gb but it should be working fine. - Camera is not that good. Overall, i can say that A7 2017 is a good device. Battery juice is outstanding but the phone performance is weak. 16px of camera should capture great pictures but i didn't experience that on this device.

  • Why still no update in saudi arabia

  • Why there is still no update in saudi Arabia.

  • which is better overall A7(2017) or C7 pro?

  • Every things is Good, Except Weight and Camera quality both Front and Rear. Tooooooo Bad when I say 16MP from Samsung and that too at price of 25K.

  • Anyone knows why A7 (2017) doesn't detect the Bluetooth headset Samsung Level Active?

  • I'm only using the camera occasionally. Maybe my opinion about the camera isn't totally valid. Just wait for another person's review about camera on nougat. Remember this is A series! The camera is good IMO since I'm always using low-end phones before A series came to me. But if you really want the best camera, go for the flagship S series. Best camera hardware are always reserved for S series. Even the S7 have better camera than A7 2017.

  • Phone fully charged at 6:30 today morning. now 5:30 in the evening. battery is 61%. emails, whatsapp and calls. used GPS tracking software to monitor vehicles. (only for official works). But when i download excel files, it takes time. might be network issues. Very good for office works. Howevr i fix the battery usage as MID. Now it says power saver off - 20h 14min, MID 22h 3Min and MAX 73h 14min.

  • So they've not addressed the front camera blurr issue. I might ditch this phone sooner than later.

  • (Since A5 and A7 are the same except on screen size and battery cap, I'll just repost my opinion from A5 to help you) IMO, Nougat update makes this phone smoother. UI is better. Design elements are better. Battery life is better (but I need to confirm this for the upcoming days). After nougat update, I had a screen-on-time for 1 hour and 30 mins and the battery is still at 91%. The only thing that changed very much is the split screen. The way marshmallow functions on split screen is somewhat different in nougat. I even feel like I have to remaster the split screen again. Everything else is familiar since Grace UX (marshmallow) is the nearest design language to Samsung Experience 8.1 (nougat). - For the front camera, I don't see any changes. IMO, I'm satisfied with the focus effect though it annoyingly blurs me out sometimes when I'm a little farther from the phone.

  • I am a teen myself XD 16 years and I recommend you the A5 2017 , A7 or A5 2016! Never go for a Chinese brand!

  • Don't update! See the official problems thread : As Americans like to say : if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • Yes everything is very fine. I love the naugat update! Its very nice. I am satisfied. Thank you samsung!

  • CAn anyone tel me from Philippines how the Nougat update for a7 2017 works fine specialy the fron camera???? please give me an answer before i'll update my phone..

  • Hello. I know it sounds dumb but how do I format a SD card on this phone? I can't find the storage settings. Thanks.

  • Thank you catherine-Ari

  • Please tell me which phone is better for teens samsung galaxy a7 2017 or Huawei p10 lite???

  • A7 2017

  • Guys tell me please which phone is better?..Galaxy A7 2017 vs Mi A1....when requirement is camera,display,battery life

  • too bad gsmarena didn't put some reactions like facebook do. your post is definitely true and quite funny as well.. :)

  • Yes. Camera is not as better as flagship phones. but it is not bad. we can say average. If Samsung company includes all the best features in other phones, who is going to buy their Flagship phones? If you need everything in best, go for flagship phone. if you need only camera, you need to think about Nikkon or Canon. LOL

  • Battery backup is very good but camera clearity is not good.

  • Are you getting money for this falls information, guys samsung galaxy A 7 2017 has very bad camera clearity led flash works very bad focusing is also bad. Don't buy it if you are considering good camera. Even my 2 year old phone Samsung galaxy e7 has very good camera clearity than this Samsung galaxy a7 2017 model

  • Is a7 2017 front is protected with gorilla glass 4 . IS a7 2017 back is protected or not?

  • xcellent phone, fast, nice camera quality, great features... worth it for an 5.7" screen phone.

  • update 01 Phone was fully charged 6pm yesterday. android 7 installed. almost all the times phone was in WIFI. after 19 hours battery is 69%. Front camera is not better. Finger scanner is very fast. Torch is not much brighter but ok. Internet is very fast compered to by previous phone. I selected this phone bcz of good battery life. You need to make your own decision based your requirements

  • Thanks for the advice... I await your opinion on the battery life performance and camera quality.

  • Dear, If you wait for 2018 model, again you will wait for 2019 model. Better to make the decision on existing phones. I bough this phone today. I will update the performance later.

  • dude, its now available. i got mine. its awesome. its automatic

  • Hey,, I don't know if I should buy this phone or wait for the 2018 version. It'll pain me if i see for some few dollars the improvement the 2018 version has over this are worth it... D real painful part is that I don't even know if my current phone will make it till the 2018 version comes out.. Nb there's no C series available in my region a9(2016) didn't even make it to my country so those are out of the option and theres no Chinese brands in my country, also there's no carrier contracts or big discounts on flagship here either e.g s7 edge is 798$ s8 is 810$ here.. I have only 400$ .. I use my phone' a lot to do everything possible from games to social media to productivity.. so battery camera and performance are really important to me

  • No, it does not vibrate....

  • Any changes for Camera?

  • Just got the nougat update

  • The galaxy A7 2017 selfie camera has this constant blurry background effect. Hope it is corrected in the Nougat.

  • I hope you'll get it soon!

  • Both camera. IT SUCKS! 😣😭

  • I checked this phone to the a mall here on the PHILLIPPINES and it costs 27,000 pesos lets just say 50 pesos is equivalent to 1 dollar, 27000/ 50 = 540 US dollars. pricing is just too absurd...

  • Thank you !

  • Vietnam

  • Ur phone made vietnam or china?

  • Mee too i have same baseband and iam from lebanon and my phone still on marshmelllow 6.01

  • Hi..where are you country?

  • Battery life is awesome. Updated to nougat. Front cam looks blurred

  • What improvements in cam app?

  • Wow. U just said it all. Thanks. But have not yet received the Nougat here in Nigeria. Such a disappointment.

  • It's not available in A7

  • Weird because update on my device actually has some improvements in camera app. Did you get the OTA update?

  • Updated my A7 2017 last night. The user interface has changed and the notifications drawer has the stock android like two down slide feature. Also you can set the brightness level to be at the notifications panel in one finger slide down. Battery life seems to be the same. The new app drawer feature is so cool where you can just slide down anywhere in home page to access the apps. There's an update to the sound effects dept too. A new feature for better listening experience categorized by age levels in 3 modes. Icons too have changed. No issues with wifi or anything yet, but I found out that the FM radio didn't work the first time. Weird. There's an improvement in camera app too. A new metering mode is available in pro mode. Selfie camera view on screen is a bit smoother. Overall I think it's a better update from M to N. Cheers!

  • Sure a7 is better

  • Samsung galaxy A7 2017 Nought update all rady start in India 11 September 2017.

  • I have been using the A7 2017 since first released. More than half year already, it is still nice. Now already updated software to 7.0. Never restart for 26 days already. Battery life is much much greater comparing to my S8, also in some apps, they can perform as fast as the S8. Aperture 1.9 is nicer than the iPhone 6S at night. Con is only the camera doesn't have OIS, and can't take clear picture at night.

  • _how satisfy can a costumer having a7 2017? Please rate it, 1 is the lowest and 10 is the highest... thank you...

  • You should turn off your phone first.

  • Note 8 is different device and their update dept is diff other smartphone manufacturers busy working on Oreo but samsung still no able to update Its 2017 devices, a great hardware smartphone company only falling bc of ao late updates....

  • If you want better CPU, GPU, RAM management, and if you want IP68 dust/water proofing and fast charging, go for A7 2017.

  • A7

  • using SD card 128gb as storage for your camera was not a good idea.. i lost all my precious moments.. files inside the gallery became black and couldn't load images.. i switch back to device storage..

  • When will i get nougat update still running in marshmallow

  • Maybe samsung will release the nougat from 15th due to the note 8.

  • A7 2017 or J7 pro.....which should i buy?

  • Never, it will never come to your device, pity 😂

  • What do you mean NEVER

  • I think no. But there's a "Color Balance" under Settings > Display > Screen Mode > Color Balance. If you want to adjust the screen according to your visual preference, you may adjust it on color balance.

  • can contrast sharpness saturation be controlled in a7?

  • A5 2017 is approximately PhP 20,000. The only difference is screen size and battery capacity. Performance, camera, and other specs are the same. Just shared this in case you want to consider your preferences. :)

  • No. But it has an AOD (Always On Display) as a substitute for Notification LED. AOD by default shows Time, Date, Battery Percentage, and Notification Icons.

  • it has notification led or not??

  • Php 23,990 to be exact.

  • do you know the exact price of this phone now here in Philippines? information plss.. :(

  • Hello guys! Which phone is better? A7 2017 or C7 pro?

  • A Series have not Notification LED. But it has (AOD) i think that's enough. :)

  • I'm from Philippines too, could you share some updates or feedbacks to us after you install the Nougat OS. Thank you. I got the update too just today.

  • Never

  • When is the update for UAE?

  • i'll use the term "SUPERB"

  • Pros~battery life, i repeat battery life. 3600amh of juice compared to 3600amh in note 8 what a 👊

  • Im so very disapointed with the sreen durability,cause one time my a7 accidentaly drop down to the ground and then my screen has been damage alot thats why i cant use it..and then i decide to repair it but the cost was to high almost half of a price?????why???

  • I have A7 and I hope that A7 beat them all after next Update ...go Youtube and watch the comparison between them. Maybe I judge it wrong.

  • Hows the overall effect on the device? Performance? Battery life? Etc... TIA

  • Nougat update now available in the philippines!

  • How come S7 is better than A7? A7 has better camera 16g compared to S7 of 12mp? Pls explain further why S7 is better than A7?

  • philippines a7 nougat update is now update is now available! please grab yours

  • My processor is slow any ideas

  • s7 for sure but small screen size .

  • Which is better A7 or S7?

  • Still no nougat update...any news regarding when it will roll out in india?

  • They never put LED in A series sin 2015 they think if we put led people we not buy S8 or S7 Its business every company do business in their interest not people interest...

  • Does it support carrier speed notification and how?

  • But their lower grade model supported led, like J and C series.

  • You can off auto brightness. Then aleays display bright AOD.

  • Always on display (AOD) is so dim that it is very difficult to read the AOD. Again disappointing.

  • No brother that they want u to do they mainly late updates because of this reason people will buy Our another phone with nougat thats Samsung Dirty tricks...

  • Yes led light cost only 0.1 dollars but no they will not include that because that is business if they include who gonna buy their so called costly flagship Phones....

  • I am also having same sound problem. I am so disappointed since this is not a cheap phone. Hope this problem will be solved after os is updated to Android 7.

  • No notification light. That is bad. After all this is mot a cheap phone.

  • I have sound problems with Samsung Galaxy A7 2017. Originally, sound volume is lower in comparison with other similar Samsung phone. Also sound volume reduces to zero sometimes. Sound returns only after power off-on procedure. I am disappointed with this phone.

  • My Samsung Galaxy A7 2017 has sound problems. Originally sound is lower than other similar Samsung phone. Also sound volume reduces to zero sometimes. Sound only returns after restart. I am so disappointed.

  • A7 2017 is a Awesome mobile but one thing not good that nougat not update yet. Any body know that when nougat release for A7 ?

  • In your opinion which is it? waterproofing or dual camera and fast chipset?

  • What is your priorities? Try to list them out based on priorities.

  • Already received Nougat (1394.40MB) on 08 August. Samsung experience version 8.1.

  • no reply ?

  • How to update to Nougat?

  • Nougat is not yet released via OTA for A7 2017. Well i guess they'd install it via ODIN. It sucks when you use odin or sam mobile for a new device. It kinda lowers the value of your device :D I guess it will be oreo plus we are receiving lots of bad rep for nougat XD

  • Which is a more better buy?? the Huawei P10 or the Galaxy A7 (2017)??? pls help!!!!!

  • Hey guys this is just my opinion. Maybe a7 2017 will be recieving oreo instead of nougat, i mean seriously, who hates oreo. Plus oreo has already been released. And maybe a7 2017 will skip the nougat for the oreo. Btw, just an opinion

  • Bro im from the philippines too, where do you live? Stuck on marsmallow

  • you upgraded it via software update? or via ODIN?

  • Is nougat already available OTA in Philippines?

  • Put your finger properly on button

  • and is there issues in fingerprint sensor or I just create it wrong ?....sometimes it doesn't work

  • Is there Notification light in A7 ?

  • Im from philippines and I am using a7 2017, and I already upgraded it to Nougat.

  • Thats not true camera quality is very good not like s8 but i clearly say that camera quality is better than oneplus 5

  • moto is good bro.a7 cam is not good.and display is not quality

  • I use this phone, and yes the camara has some issues but if you know how it is very easy to handle, and I have been able to take a couple of nice pictures

  • I am thinking about buying a between a7 2017 and moto z2 play. .which one is better buy? I like screen, battery and ip68 certification of a7 but heard about camera is not that great...please help.thank you...

  • Because reversible connector for charging only

  • When i put the reversible connector to the OTG it did'nt work, and i cant find an OTG with reversible connector...

  • Yes it is

  • can anybody tell me if this device an OTG capable?

  • Can anyone tell me the difference between nougat and MM 1. Battery life draining 2. Ram management 3. Device idle battery drain plzz tell me the difference which is best OS??

  • Honor have 128 GB internal memory in India you can check amazon shopping site and you know one thing honor service is worst otherwise phone is good you can go with honor 8 pro

  • Why?......!

  • When will this phone get nougat update in India? Thank u

  • But honor 8 pro has 6gb ram compared to 3gb ram of a7. Internal memory 64gb. A7 has 32gb only

  • No nougat update(Philippines), 2018 is near

  • I got nougat about 3 weeks ago From Indonesia And it's better than marshmellow (notif, internal memory. Etc) What i dont like is the camera, no OIS

  • No nougat update on A7 2017- change brand...

  • How did you know?

  • Same problem here. Bangladesh.

  • Please if anyone has got d Nougat for the A7 2017 should post here. Also I have npt got any July or August security update. Front camera needs to be addressed. It sucks

  • *Pixel Per Inch

  • Nougat on A7 2017 will not be available in the Phils...

  • how?

  • Im a A7 user also, no update yet.

  • Galaxy A7 2017 because it has water resistant and has better ram management also a premium design with made of glass and metal and also a name of big brand samsung...... Only one thing you can refer camera honor have good camera also a good camera in Galaxy A7 2017

  • Hello everyone. Has anyone received the nougat update OTA 4 the A7 2017?

  • Sane thing with mine and I am guessing it's a hardware issue

  • Samsung is using high quality display panels for S and A series. There are significant differences in the build quality as well. Exynos 7880 uses DDR4 RAM which is relatively faster than J series ,supports fast charging,USB type C ,IP 68 certified.Go for A series if you need a premium device with all necessary sensors and features.

  • Any one knows when indian nougat update is available for my galaxy a7 2017 I eagerly awaited for this nougat update in india anyone got the 7.0 nougat update india?

  • Honor 8 pro or galaxy a7? Pls advice. Thanks

  • You can upgrade it to 7.0

  • When is the nougat update arriving in the samsung galaxy a7 2017 international version. I'm currently staying in Nigeria.

  • I brought it yesterday and I m very disappointed because it's IS 6.01. I thought it could be 7.0

  • For those having gaming question, I suggest you guys go to youtube and search samsung galaxy A7 2017 gaming and there is youtuber who really test it for many games. It will be much clearer there, but for me no issue in gaming (ps. I am not hardcore gamer)

  • Hello guys I am user for A7 2017 Nougat, i owned asus zenfone 2 previously. So this is my experience, many people ask about camera question. I would say that rear camera is good don't worry about that up to standard. But front camera is POOR, which mean really below average (photo appears blurry and cant afford any shake have to hold it very steadily)

  • hi I just bought this phone days ago and wondering if this phone can handle heavy game like the Asphalt 8 airborne.. do you guys have any idea or if this phone gonna lag???

  • Of course the 401 PPI PPI- Pixel per Image

  • 401 ppi.. ppi means pixel per inch. the higher the ppi the better the quality of the phone's screen. :)

  • Sir i have samsung A720F /DS..UNITED ARAB EMIRATES when its nougat update come in pakistan ?

  • What d mean or iMportance of ppi.... Which is better 386 ppi or 401 ppi.... Screen size 5.7

  • If i have to choose A7 2017 or xperia z5 premium

  • The A7 2017 !

  • Thank you very much for your reply.

  • Can anyone tel me about front camera performance?

  • No nougat update in the Philippines...

  • Nougat update in the Phils may be next year or may not come

  • If you have to choose, what would you pick..huawei mate 9 or samsung galaxy a7? Thanks!

  • Using it for almost 8 months already and in term of battery performance, it can last almost 24 houra for heavy user (mobile data and gps fully on, video and music stream). For camera, poor performance in low light environment

  • please update here if nougat version in the philippines released.

  • did you upgrade it to nougat?

  • Cameras are good, as long as you take pictures in well lit areas. Battery lasts quite longer than most phones out there, good for at least one day in heavy usage (lotsa streaming, Youtube Videos, Web browsing and some phone calls).

  • Thank you very much.

  • Camera is excelent and battery is amazing never regret bying this phone

  • Hello friends, I'm using A7 2017 for a couple of days. Good phone but... when google maps and GPS are running the back of the phone is very hot after few minutes. Anyone has observed this behaviour? Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Any one can tell me about camera (primary & secondary) & battery performance please? Thanks in advance.

  • How i can update my galaxy A7

  • Pls send me file.

  • i just bought the A7 2017 and i really agreed with the front facing camera issue but over all its a very great great phone. one thing I noticed was the battery drainage like last night when i got to my bed the battery was in 98 and when i checked in the morning it turns to 89. but so far i loved it..
