Samsung Galaxy A7 review and performance
Samsung Galaxy A7 has been launched in India to strengthen the
company’s mid-range portfolio which has seen a lot of launches lately.
The Galaxy A7 (2018) version tries to fit in the Indian market with a
rather interesting camera proposition which adds a third-lens at a price
point that makes it a good package.
Talking about the Indian market, there is too much going on in the
mid-range segment these days as smartphone makers are trying really hard
to prove their worth with some bold specifications and an attractive
price tag. Samsung Galaxy A7 can be considered the latest to join the
club and we had the opportunity to use it for a couple of weeks to test
out its performance.
Performance is not one of the strongest points of Samsung Galaxy A7
and here the smartphone seems to lag behind the competition. In terms of
the hardware, there is the company’s own octa-core Exynos 7885 SoC
which comes paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (this is what we
received), however, there is also a 6GB RAM/128GB Storage variant which
is available with an Rs. 5,000 higher price tag.
Since the Exynos 7885 SoC comes with two performance-oriented Cortex-A73 cores along with six efficiency-oriented Cortex-A53 cores, we had our expectation high from the Samsung Galaxy A7 since this is the same chipset present under the Galaxy A8+.

However, we were a little underwhelmed with its performance
credentials as we encountered some lags and frame drops while testing
the device to its cores. Multitasking with heavy apps seemed to be a
dreading task for the Samsung Galaxy A7 as we saw a fair share of app
crashes, lags in re-loading of apps and more. When we tested PUBG Mobile
on the Galaxy A7, there were constant micro stutters along with the
device heating up from the corners which ruined the overall gaming
experience with the device. In PUBG Mobile, we weren’t even able to aim
properly due to these stutters.
