Update!!!
Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 gets Updated to Marshmallow! See here:
New features like Doze, Event for Gallery, Updated File Manager, Extended Controls, and Advance Settings....
Oh one of the best changes we have learned is the Game Modes! Supporting Game Tuner, Game Launcher and Game Tools as seen on Samsung Flagships and High end Phones. This let you tweak your games and even non-game apps to use a lower resolution as well as control fps for power optimization and efficiency. Got mine installed via update with Samsung Galaxy App but if the update does not pop out you could try downloading via APK Mirror:
Samsung Game Mode
Samsung Game Tuner
Samsung Game Launcher
Samsung Game Tools
With Game Tuner, The A Series really leveled up playing games as well as overall performance.
Samsung set to release their new Galaxy A7 2016 via Lazada Philippines!
The new Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 is build with combination of metal and glass for solid construction and beautiful aesthetics. Metal frame is rounded but has chamfers Utilizes 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4 on the back and front to provide additional protection from scratches, bumps and shocks. We have seen this design concept as implemented with Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 edition. Still carries the same 5.5 inch Full HD Super AMOLED Display.
For the Philippine Market, Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 will be carrying Samsung own Exynos 7580 Octa-Core processor clocked at 1.6GHz paired with Mali-T720 MP2 GPU as well as 3GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage. Additional Storage is possible but you need to sacrifice Dual Sim function of the phone.
Performance is smooth on the A7 2016 that can be attributed to the optimized Android Lollipop to Samsung own TouchWiz UI. It ran smooth games like Asphalt 8 howver if you are into NBA 2k16 then try Medium and Low settings. Yet system does not lag unless you have so much heavy games running in the background. Compared to other phone with Same GPU, it performs better.
A improved optics compared to last year model, as Galaxy A7 2016 now equipped with f/1.9 aperture for its rear 13MP 28mm and 5MP 24mm Front camera making sure you take best outputs even in low light conditions. Quick Launch feature is present so as you could quickly draw your camera and shoot those momentous memories. Here are some samples.
Camera does well in terms of focus. As you can see, you can achieve a shallow depth of field which may be attributed to aperture size of f/1.9 and also delivers clear outputs. Right Pic focus on Samsung Unit while the Left Pic is focus on the bacground
Front Camera is great for taking selfies. High resolution with clarity.
Fingerprint sensor has now been added to Samsung Galaxy A7 2016 for more personalized security supported by Samsung Knox.
You do get full set of connectivity features from WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. Now supports LTE Cat6 for ultra fast internet connection on the go. With Hybrid Sim card / Micro SD slot you may choose to use two sim cards.
A clean TouchWiz UI on top of Android 5.1.1 Lollipop is found. Microsoft Office is part of software suite available to cater to your productivity needs.
Battery is at 3300mAh a boost from last year model and now comes with fast charging. At full HD resolution and not so power hungry innards this should last longer than Samsung flagship phones.
Launched via Lazada Philippines! For 22,990 Pesos! but is now available at Samsung concept stores and dealers.
