Yet another excellent mid-range Samsung handset, the Galaxy A7 2016 is rather big but has definite appeal to media fans who demand a gorgeous screen for enjoying their movies and shows. The camera tech is dependable and solid for the price, although...

The new Samsung Galaxy A7 for 2016 is a great-looking upgrade over its predecessor, with outstanding battery life and a few other welcome tweaks, but there is no escaping the fact it is overpriced at £399. That's even more apparent when you consider the...

Samsung uses such a compact, lightweight design for its Galaxy Tab A7 (2016) SM-T280 that it could be mistaken for a big phablet at first glance. Although the casing is completely made of plastic, it is appreciated thanks to its non-slip back. A bit...

I like Samsung's high-end, flagship smartphones and can recommend them to people without hesitation, but I couldn't do the same with the company's mid-range product lineup, until now. It's the first time I see potential. And that's mainly because of...

In Europa non c'è. Lo dovrete proprio volere e cercare su store principalmente asiatici. Costa tra i 400 e i 350 euro e non so se consigliarvelo. Gli utenti consapevoli scelgono altro, gli utenti legati al marchio per garanzia e assistenza non comprano...

El Galaxy A7 se sitúa debajo de dispositivos como el Galaxy S7 y el Galaxy Note 7 pero, sin duda, comparte el estilo que caracteriza a la familia Galaxy de gama alta. Si buscas diseño en un celular aquí lo encuentras. El Galaxy A7 2016 es un...

Este é um dos melhores smartphones quando o foco não está no topo de linha mais caro. A diferença de preço entre um S7 e o A7 é grande, com pouco corte na hora de ter recursos e ferramentas. Vale o...

Pelo conjunto da obra, eu diria que o Galaxy A7 ocupa uma posição acima dos intermediários, mas abaixo dos high-end. Para facilitar, podemos imaginar o modelo como sendo um quase topo de linha. Mas o desafio aqui nem é definir a categoria do aparelho....
