  • Still i didnt get updates for lollipop...what should i do

  • Actually the lollipop is buggy compared to kitkat, i ve experienced it on many phones, so what i meant was that the update if fine it's just that lollipop itself is full of bugs. M might be the better version 4.4 was the most smooth n bug free version of android.

  • I got the 5.0.2 I'm my country about 3 weeks ago. Please check with samsung toll free or customer service

  • otg means on the go . u can conect pendrive through it

  • Hi, Is update from k to L is it usefull? Is it giving any diffrence in UI and Menu(clock and s planner).

  • I did the updates only security updates and other ones. No Lollipop at all.

  • Lollipop is no great shakes. It is very slow and has many bugs. KitKat may be older but is more reliable.

  • Which is better? Samsung Galaxy a7 or Galaxy a8? Are the specs the same? Except for the rear camera.

  • a7

  • Where are you located?

  • A7 is much better than C4 i am a reviewer....not proffesional but for my knowledge i always compare devices.....in my opinion A7 is better than c4.....go and buy A7...

  • How is that new lollipop update.....is it better than 4.4.4 or this new lollipop 5.02 is good. If there is something good or bad please tell....

  • It is not Kies it is Smart Switch now.

  • i have Samsug E7 nd i want to replace it from A7....it is a good option or i use still E7....my main issue is that how much battery back-up in A7....

  • Got Lollipop update last night , its OTA. Tried from Samsung Switch software but got error that they cannot locate the device on their server. What were they thinking :/ ...anyways cut to the chase that i officially got Lollipop update on Galaxy A7 duos. I'm from Mumbai.

  • Who said it is bug free, actually it has more bugs then previous one . Like it hangs manytimes , on turning on wifi , and for connecting it took alot of time . No work can be done...... it hangs

  • There is no update with Loliipop down this at all.

  • In the Philippines who knows when? Hopefully soon.

  • let me know plz, if anyone got 5.0.2 ota update bearing model A700YD?

  • Go to settings Then go to About Device Then Software Updates Then Update Now Make sure You are connected to WiFi and very important that you have Min 80% battery charged

  • Hey can any one help me to check if im getting update soon Mine a7 duos A700Fd

  • That is why Samsung is good not that many updates like Moto or Asus or even Apple. They know what they are doing.

  • It is available.

  • The dual sim version got 5.0 way back in june-july in other regions like russia, i recieved OTA update last night and now the device is on 5.0 and mine is the dual sim version which uses SD 615, update was of 843.xx MB and it seems quite stable and bug free. You'll recieve the update only when sammy starts seeding it for the batch your device comes in, till than no amount of search and impatience will get you the update. Wait for few days and make sure the time and date is correct on your phone. Good day.

  • This phone is manufactured badly. there is no difference b/n the single and dual sim a7. cause sd card must have its own slot ,its not supposed to take the other sim cards place.

  • This is a only best product available in Indian market under 20k. No other local and chinese brand compete its feature available You can bye it without thinking too much

  • But the normal a7 only got the 5.0.2 the duos version didn't. Check out the specs of the both phones from gsm arena itself

  • please let samsung galaxy a7 duos be updated to the latest android version (recently Lollipop). i am very thanfu if let m device be updated. :))

  • A great phone. Worth buying. Keeping my review short by enlisting pros and cons of this phone. Pros: 1. Superb looks, metal frame body. 2. Superb gaming experience, can handle even heavy games easily. 3. Display is enormous. 4. Excellent touch response and robust phone. 5. Can survive splashes of rain. 6. Camera is good, will rate 7/10. For macro its 9.5/10. 7. Slimmest phone I have ever seen yet durable. Cons: 1. If you insert a memory card, the phone is no longer dual-sim. 2. Phone is large, therefore, one hand operation not possible unless your palms are huge. 2.

  • Can A7 Duos upgraged to Lolypop ( Android 5.1.1 ) ?

  • using this phone from last 5 days no face any problem. so many new features. good battery backup both cameras are awesome.

  • S it can be upgraded to lollipop 5.0 & 5.1 ... It had qualcome snapdragon 1.5ghz octa core and it is the best phone I have ever used no laging problem and good battery life time just normal heating not overheating . just close u r eyes and buy it

  • S u can the secondary sim card slot is for both sim or memory ( only 1 at a time )

  • When will it be updated to Lollipop in India. I have been using tgis phone since 5 months and no Lollipop update yet. Samsung when is the lollipop update gonna roll out in India for Galaxy A7? Its already too late.

  • you are right... (y)

  • Xperia has MediaTek MTK6752 chipset that provides a real octa core cpu but samsung A7 has snapdragon 615 that consists of 2 quad core cpu and only uses of one of them each time. so you can see some lagging and even hanging when you are using multitask process in samsung A7

Same problem occured while I make my photo video and whatevr transfar frm phone to sd card it says fail to move. Bt the same sd card works fine with othe smartphone. The problem became solve only when I format my sd card. Bt it not possible format sd card again nd again. Can anyone suggest me how could I fix this bug ? Rply me pls

  • Yes it can use 2 sim at the same time but cannot use the microsd card because the 2nd simcard shares the same slot as microsd.

  • Pls can someone tell me if you can use the both SIM slots at the same time. I discovered from the specification that the second SIM slot is also meant for Micro SD Card. The phone looks good but I need to clear this pls.

  • Hello everyone! Does anybody knows if you could use at the same time Sim1 & Sim2 & memorycard? Because from the the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A7 Duos my guess is either to use Sim1 & Sim2 or to use Sim1 & memorycard.. Thanks

  • This phone not support Mkv,Avi,Hd Video Files.

  • does this phone supports wireless charger of S6?! how about OTG?

  • i want to but this phone.. is it okay or work for dual sim?

  • For anyone who have heating probs, just go to samsung centre. They will fix it. Mine got that problem since the first day i bought it. I can't thrn on the phone and it heats when i use the camera. The centre guy said it was mothetboard and probs. ( i dont know wth was that. I bought the phone for the large screen and the great front camera). Fix it in an hour. Otherwise this is a great phone. Some of my friend said the specs are better than iphone. Mine is gold. Beautiful and look expensive.

  • i really love this phone..the design and performance..

  • Heyy i bought it few days ago..problem is when i do video recordin at 9mp mode the video is bit blurry..its clear at 13mp..but my other fone with 5mp camera is not blurry at video recording..i bought the fone authorised samsung dealer..other features are perfect..howz your(other a7 users) quality at 9mp vdeo rec

  • something different i guess. getting bored with kitkat interface.

  • y u want lolipop upgrade? whats thr in it can u explain...?

  • Very nic mob... Lekin touch speed is low

  • Thanks frnd

  • Yes it does

  • No hang at all . As for heating issues its normal to heat al little bit when using heavy apps or games . I think its a great phone

  • Very nice phone .bought it 4 day ago im very happy. Every thing is smooth no hang what so ever. Great colors .very style in hand .it has all the premium stuff inside . Only one thing no notification led . Simply i recommend specially its price has dropped now to 340$-360$

  • I don't know why people are willing for lollipop. Only 2 Android versions have got success. 1. Gingerbread 2. Kitkat All other versions are failed. Even most used version jelly bean was a failed version of heavy loading even in high end phones! Lollipop is doing just same. And its failed too. Ya ice-cream-sandwich was great but most of the OEM's had ignored it.. It was better than jelly bean. Where is the honeycomb in this world? I just got the name of it but I don't know in which smartphone it was used!!... Only two success version in the Android gingerbread & Kitkat. I hop that Android M will get success!

  • 2 sims wouldn't work if you want to place memory SDcard AT A TIME.. either you can use 1 sim + sdcard or (sim1 + sim2). please check before you buy

  • is it official? do i have to use custom rom or what?

  • Bought it 2 days ago .very good phone .everything is working great . Love it very much

  • Hi frnd, I'm also a a7 user ..The phone get hot when using net..how about yourself? Somebody told about lag..is it true in ur experience ..Thanks

  • When will A7 get Lollipop update in India? I think maybe in 2017 or 2018. Shame Samsung... Change your name to Shamesung. I just wasted my money on this piece of crap A7.

  • Lolipop Update is available in India, Connect your phone with SmartSwitch software you will get 1.158 GB update of new firmware.

  • it has been removed. but wouldn't it void the warranty???

  • if you have the Galaxy A7 A700FD, you can already update it via Odin.

  • when is the 5.0 version (lollipop) coming to this device in india??

  • plzzzzzzzzlzzzzzz samsung galaxy a 7 dues suport... usb...OTG CABAL becuse i need working pendrive every time.

  • Now i think that duos will not get lollipop update feeling sad about this. Rooting is the only option left

  • its dual sim

  • I was having the same problem and at the end it was the sim so check ur sim in another mob

  • I am using A7 Duos. When A7 duos will get lollipop?

  • heating n hanging problems from the word go. I am going back to return the phone today itself. sue them in consumer court for such faulty phones. pls beware.

  • which phone should I get? Samsung Galaxy A7 or Sony Xperia C4? I'm so confused

  • 5.9% popularity.... should it b like this.? Samsung plz wake up. This is only because second slot is either for second sim or for memory card. .. . Really poor feature. Either provide extra slot for memory card or increase inbuilt memory atleast up to 32gb..... Agree friends. ...? Samsung do it fast.

  • Hey did you know when did a7 duos gets lolipop update in india

  • Hey any one there who knows when did a7 duos gets lolopop update in india?

  • Is it waterproof

  • Does it support OTG

  • yes

  • Nope. It lacks a fingerprint sensor.

  • Nope. They are not the same. For one, they support different LTE Bands, for example the single sim version lacks band40 which is used to provide 4G in India. Choose carefully. (Although I am told that only A7 Duos is available in India if that is what you are concerned about). And obviously, the duos will let you choose between having a second nano sim or a micro sd card.

  • galaxy A7 and A7 dous are same or not.please ensure me.cause i buying A7 mobile recently. plese help me guyz...itz urgent

  • Does it support Fingerprint lock

  • when the samsung A7 there in indonesia country. cz i will buying it. thanks

  • A7 duos is a 64bit phone and its the best phone of android period. Use this phone for few days and you will love this more than any other android phones.

  • It's a nice mobile. I have been using Galaxy A7 since 2 months and haven't faced any problem till now. No flaws whatsoever but i am upset with the fact that it is still running on Kitkat and haven't received the Lollipop update in India yet. Come on Samsung hurry up, why are you people so lazy. It's a premium handset after all. Roll out the Lollipop update in India for Galaxy A7. Its about time.

  • Yes but only on sim

  • Go for A7 a very good phone I am using this phone as compare to HTC 826 this is quite good with very good display

  • Go for A7 a very good phone I am using this phone as compare to HTC 826 this is quite good with very good display

  • Battery drain about 9-10 hours, after charging up around 95% full..Oh my...

  • Is it dual LTE?

  • And me too

  • Agree with you partly. Not all ppl want dual SIM. Sony xperia C4 dual may fill the gap and HTC 826 also .

  • How it working

  • Samsung A7 is super phone. First u was confuse in htc 826 & sony c4. But finally i buy A7 and i am happy with this phone. Some persons say about heating problem ya its true u have to known also the reason. A7 has a metal body. Abd u know very well that metal heats. And bettry charing is super fast. Only in 1hour and 30 min. Your ph. Will complete charge. Camera has a quality. Multi window make this fast and gave many advance feature. Just buy this phone. I know u will find ur happiness.

  • why a7 duos cant be upgrade to 5.0.2?????

  • A8 launched?

  • Yes

  • A8 has separate slot for micro card and finger print sensor.

  • Samsung A7, A5, A3, E7, E5, E3 all are waste. Samsung lost huge amount in this series. The only reason is : No Dual sim. (only One sim + MMc or Two sims without MMC can be used)

  • Light-weighted and smooth. Its awesome.

  • Yes, please expand Network feature above for more details

  • A7 is the best smartphone

  • 4G available in A7 duos?

  • Samsung galaxy a7 & Samsung galaxy a7 DUOS are same or different? Does a7 duos hv less resolution?also DUOS doesn't support 4G???kindly opine

  • I already have an Iphone5 and I bought A7 gold for using the extra sim and for multimedia as my Iphone supports only 16GB. Need to say,i have fallen in love with this phone in my first view especially its design,but showing an amazing performance and battery back up..If you hold this piece of art,I bet you no one can't stop staring at this phone.I am completely lovin' it..

  • yes i agree. Note 4 best smartphone yet.

  • Ya it's applicable

  • right now it is the Note 4

  • Please tellme in samsung phones which is the best phone

  • very good

  • as far as a7 is considered , the market review says that the battery backup is worst in 826

  • I just bought a7. 1st slot you can only select either sd card or sim card. 2nd slot is for sim card. But if you need extra memory with dual line there is a problem. A7 only give an option 1 sim or 1 sd card.

  • Samsung must resolve the heating problem of Galaxy A7 duos

  • Been using this phone and so far so good. Camera is great, doesn't experience lags in heavy games plus I was surprised on it's battery. Watched an anime marathon with 25 episodes and still has 40+% battery! Also gets full charge in less than an hour. Only downside so far is the heating problem but other than that, this is a great phone.

  • buy an iPhone

  • Hey guys need sum help. Which phone sud i buy samsung galaxy s5 or a7. Plz reply ppl. Thkxs

  • gaming heating problem and charging heating problem , otherwise it is a good mobile

  • i going to buy a7 ... plz suggest it is good or not

  • Yes

  • I am waiting for samsung galaxy A8

  • yup

  • A7 is the peace of shit. its have battery problem,heating problem,and volume is low,camera is crap, in low light its have very dark photos. And even sometimes touch screan is not working So go for htc desire 826 if love your money.

  • I want to buy a7,plz suggest me fends y or n.

  • Can somebody help .. Are both sim slots in A7 are LTE capable or just one ..? if one then which one ..? Thanks

  • All the smartphone now will get heat during the time you are using the phone. If there is no serious heating, that mean it's normal!

  • am using this phone aroud a month. I noticed that the major problem in this phone is heating issue. samsung dont take attantion to solve this problem. Even htc update so software to decrease the heating issue in desire 820. But samsung doesnt any care of users. The second major problem in this phone is the poor bettery backup. It drains too fast. I charged my phone 3 times in a day. So what is the use of this beautiful craftmanship without the appropriate battery backup. i totally dissapointed with a7 nd doesnot reccomend it to anyone.

  • yes it does..

  • Great phone. Those looking for premium dual sim phone go for A7. I was using note 3 which is great. But needed a LTE enabled dual sim mobile. No hang, smooth animations. Bit pricy..and gr8 style. Battery is quite good. No LED notification.

  • can i use two sim cards and memory card in same time ? is it good to buy as i need to use two lines

  • Hey guys I have a question, can Samsung galaxy A7 capture pics with volume button. Plz reply me ASAP because I need to buy a phone.

  • Excellent phone function and capability. No complain. But i wish SamSung could make the battery with larger capacity............

  • The GSM Arena company should put a YouTube link in their website for every phone model for quick checking or if not they should upload some video clips of every phone model.

  • Super phone no heating issues fast charging it will charge within 1 hour from 10 to 100% just go for it no issues and worth to buy.

  • hey, wait until its software gets updated.. try to download some third party apps that will help the phone maintained. relax, Man..

  • Bought it yesterday...so frustrated with the lag issue when playing games like c.o.c.

  • hi. i have been using samsung galaxy A7 for about a week. then i have problem on my A7 which it is easily heated up especially when at the evening. i dont know how. i try to format my phone but still it keeps heating up. or this is because the phone is made up of full metal so it heated up easily? before this, i used galaxy ace plus and there's nothing wrong about heating eventhough i downloaded many apps. guys pls answer my question. this problem is killing me right now.

  • I'm so upset cause they could've at least put in the notification light to make the package complete

  • You can either put a 2nd sim card or memory card cant put everything together

  • If we've to use both sims then where can we insert memory card?

  • Is this Optional dual sim?

  • somebody owning it here has written that OTG is there. The specs of samsung official website does not mention anything , specs here does not mention it. The review here mentions it. Best thing for you is to go to a electronic store - either samsung gallery / Croma / reliance digital- ask the stores staff about it and then purchase it from whereever it is the cheapest.

  • Obviously a7. Don't go for Sony. I left the brand after several (two) times of disappointments with my two earlier mid range gadgets. Sony is equivalent to waste of money.

  • Many many thanks for your reply. But it's too late for me. I was oscillating between s5, a7 and flagship phone note 4. At last I decided to go with note 4. But if there is no heating issue, I shall still admire that it is a very very good dual sim phone in the mid price ranges with a superb stylish look and very good performance.

  • htc820 all these three are superb sets,let your budget decide!

  • Can anyone help me how to use 4g services on my samsung galaxy a7 duos?

  • No doubt brother just to buy a7 duos it's amazing performance

  • i am confused about a7 duos & note 3 new duos.. plz help which on is better???

  • Does it support OTG?

  • hi guys!! I need your opinion.. do you prefer Xperia M4 aqua or Samsung Galaxy E7?? why??I'm confused what should I buy.. they have the same quality of cameras but have different price and xperia M4 hasn't released yet.. please I neeed your advice

  • Is it a windows phone?

  • Hey bro loading..... Is gone now after denim update in windows 8.1 you can check it! And when windows 10 arrive android sorry lag droids have to go to hellllllllllll

  • Yes 1gb ram is sufficient for entry apps and games available on windows store! Even high end games can run smoothly in 1gb ram with minimum snapdragon 400 soc! Storage doesn't matter now in windows 8.1! Because you can move everything to your memory card! Needs minimum class 10 memory card and minimum snapdragon 400 soc! That's it..... Enjoy windows!

  • is 1gb ram and 8 gb internal sufficient for various apps in windows.

  • Yes, welcome to eternal "loading..." messages.

  • Hahahaha really feel sad for lagdroids! Lumia 640XL is arrived....bye lagdroids. Your time is up!

  • Decent looks,gud performance.,though heating up like crazy.little expensive.

  • Heat-up problem not as pronounced as in the "note 3 neo" which I was using earlier (but then - my longest call yet has been only 11 minutes since I bought it about 10 days back). The only con yet is the use of micro SD - I need to remove the 2nd SIM :(

  • A7 or sony m4

  • Yes ... you must use it first in Saudi to make calls for few minutes - maybe just 5 minutes, then it's ready anywhere. It's written in the box

  • Yes,or you will face locking problem in Manila.Use it first in Saudi Arabia.For gifting its better to give a open useful set then a new locked one.

  • If I bought this A7 Duos here in middle east esp. at Saudi Arabia, is this unit will work in Philippines? Somebody told me before sending to Philippines have to use it here in Saudi to activate, is this true?

  • Hes a7 supported otg

  • Xperia M4 aqua i would prefer as it has IP-68 certification as an extra feature

  • The device is okay. with 11.9GB every users should be okay; you need not to worry about using external memory card.

  • Yes it is an optional dual sim set, the second sim card slot can contain either nano sim or a micro sd card upto 64 GB, but cannot contain both at the same time, if you use the phone as a dual sim set you have to be happy with 11.19 GB user available internal storage. If you want a greater mass storage, you have to use it as a single sim phone.

  • gold

  • What does the - uses SIM2 for Micro SD card mean? Can't we use both the SIMs and Micro SD card together. Please clarify.

  • is this fone available in South Africa? if yes please tell me where to get it in jhb

  • Hey guys I want to buy a galaxy a7 duos, Indian version. It consists of two quad-core processors. Can any user of this set help me by saying about the heating issues in the phone, please. Waiting for a frank reply.

  • plz somebody tell me..... 1)it's upgrade-able to 5.0 (lollipop)....????? 2)what is final price Samsung Galaxy A7 Duos (SM-A700YD).....?????
