Samsung Galaxy A7 goes on sale in India for $491

Samsung has launched the new A7 in the Indian market. Unlike the A3 and the A5, which were announced with a formal launch event, the A7 was quietly made available without much fanfair.

The A7 is the current flagship in Samsung's new A series and has a 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939 64-bit octa-core chipset with 4x 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 cores + 4x 1.0GHz Cortex-A53 cores, Adreno 405 GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB memory with microSD card slot (shared with SIM 2 slot), 13 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front camera, 2,600mAh battery, and Android 4.4 KitKat.

Malaysia to get the Samsung Galaxy A7 device in February

The Samsung Galaxy A7 launched in Russia earlier this month and now it's headed to Malaysia. The slender phablet will cost MYR 1,500 ($410/€365). That's a noticeably better deal than Russia got where the phablet is $530/€450 (as usual tech gets a hefty markup there).

The Samsung Galaxy A7 will be available through Samsung Experience Stores and authorized dealers starting in February. It will come in three color versions - Midnight Black, Pearl White and Champagne Gold.

The smaller Samsung Galaxy A5 is already available at MYR 1,200 ($330/€290). Both devices have metal frames and 64-bit Snapdragon chipsets, but the Galaxy A7 is bigger with its 5.5" 1080p Super AMOLED screen, has eight cores instead of four and is actually thinner than its sibling - 6.3mm vs. 6.7mm.
