Before starting on 5 January at Las Vegas CES-2017, the company Samsung introduced a new line of mid-range smartphones Galaxy A. life was able to see the devices a few days before the premiere. Our experience — in Express review.
Two years ago, Samsung unveiled its first smartphone Galaxy A. He appeared quite suddenly and without release cycles. It is a common practice among Korean manufacturers, which allows them so here’s a simple way to launch trial balloons. A year later was presented a whole line of Galaxy A, which consisted of three devices — the A3, A5 and A7. The idea was to build a clear line of mid-range devices. If the segment of the flagships of it was relatively clear and transparent (Galaxy S, Edge, Note, etc.), among the more affordable devices was observed complete confusion and vacillation.
as confirmation of the seriousness of the face line 2015 in Russia became the Olympic champion Sochi 2014 short track Korean Viktor Ahn.
Smartphones are built on the principle of the use of the latest decisions of the flagship devices of the previous season and adding something of their own. So, in 2015, against the total dominance of plastic as a material for housing in the flagship smartphone Galaxy got A metal body. In 2016, added a fingerprint scanner and a fast charging mode.
Line 2017 consists of three smartphones — Samsung Galaxy A3, A5 and A7 — and, of course, takes a basis in the design and filling the flagship of the previous season — the Galaxy S7. As a consequence, here we can see moisture protection standard IP68, support for two SIM-cards and microSD memory cards, not overexposed hybrid slot, forcing you to choose between the two, and, of course, support service, Samsung Pay, giving you the opportunity to pay with a mobile device.
the simplest model — the Galaxy A3, in my opinion, turned out and very attractive. It is equipped with a display diagonal of 4.7 inches, which is today for many seems to be the most optimal size. In fact, it is a device with size of a normal iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 design. For this mobile please 22 990 rubles.
the Smartphone is made on the basis of 8-core processor Exynos 7870 with frequent up to 1.6 GHz, announced in early 2016 and completed on 14-nanometer technology. The device is equipped with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB permanent memory.
What I had to sacrifice for a budget model? Well, first, it is the HD screen that seems inadequate, if you look at the features and compare them, not the quality of the image. A little easier the camera module used in the layout 13+8 Mpix, and not 16+16 MP like in older devices. And the battery capacity 2350 mAh battery not received the support of fast charging. Can this be considered a disadvantage? On the one hand, Yes, because fast charging is extremely convenient. On the other hand, fast charging significantly reduces battery life, so perhaps it will be an advantage.
the Casing is very high quality, made of plastic and glass, the perimeter edging of metal. Dimensions — 135,4х66,2×7,9 mm.
Model Galaxy A5 is sold at a price of 27 990 rubles and received Super Amoled screen with a diagonal of 5.2 inches with Full HD resolution.
This model, as the eldest, received as the basis for the proprietary processor Samsung Exynos 7880, operating at a frequency up to 1.9 GHz. The Galaxy A5, as in all models, support data transmission standard LTE Cat 6.
the operating system Android 7.0 provides 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. The battery life is increased at the expense of more capacious battery of 3000 mAh which supports fast charging mode.
All smartphones of the Galaxy series A 2017 will be available in black, blue, Golden and pink colors. The dimensions of the Galaxy A5 are 146,1х71,4×7,9 mm.
Finally, the older model Samsung Galaxy A7 is the largest. She received a screen with a diagonal of 5.7 inches with glass made of 2,5 D, and Full HD resolution.
Hardware platform repeats the Galaxy A7 Galaxy A5 but a larger display demanded more capacious battery — 3600 mAh. It should be noted that, in comparison with the model number 2016, battery capacity of all three devices was slightly increased: for example, battery Galaxy A7 has increased by 300 mAh, significantly.
the Camera here, as in the Galaxy A5 is the combination of front and rear modules, each with 16 megapixels. Camera of all three smartphones have received a number of innovations, such as software snapshot button that can be moved around the screen for maximum usability.
Samsung’s Galaxy A7 will go on sale at a price of 32 990 rubles. Dimensions are 156,8х77,6×7,9 mm. Protection IP68 standard will allow devices to withstand being under water at a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. Swimming with them is not worth it, but the risk to drown the smartphone in the sink or in the toilet bowl is minimized.
All three smartphones are equipped with connectors of USB Type C and a fingerprint scanner.
And now the most interesting. Despite the fact that the world premiere of Galaxy A5 (2017) will take place on 4 January in Las Vegas, buy smartphones in Russia already 2 January.
