The South Korean technology giant hasn't revealed any concrete detail about its upcoming Galaxy A7 (2017), but so much has been leaked over the last few weeks. It is said the device may not be released in Europe, like its predecessor (Galaxy A7 (2016).The company made all the models of A-series available in Europe when it was first released in 2015, but it was a different story for the 2016 models as only the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 were launched in the region, leaving out the Galaxy A7. So, it won't come as a surprise if the Galaxy A7 (2017) is not released in Europe.
