It's just a matter of time before Samsung makes the release date of its mid-range smartphone Galaxy A7 (2017) public. The 2016 version of the Galaxy A7 was launched in December last year, so speculations are rife that the 2017 version will arrive in the next couple of weeks.
The South Korean technology giant hasn't revealed any detail about the Galaxy A7 (2017) but its launch is obvious. A device with model number SM-A720F, believed to be the Galaxy A7 (2017), has received Bluetooth certification and spotted on Indian imports and exports tracking site Zauba with model number SM-A720S, a 5.7-inch display and a price tag of Rs 13,716 (price likely to change at the time of launch). It has also been cleared by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification, giving a hint that its launch is imminent.
