World's leading smartphone-maker Samsung launched the new Galaxy A7 in India. It is the company's first ever triple camera phone to date.
Samsung's new phone boasts 24MP primary snapper with F1.7 aperture, a dedicated 5MP depth sensor and a wide-angle 8MP shooter with a 120-degree field of view on the back.
With such superior hardware, Galaxy A7 supports Live Focus feature, which lets the user control the depth of field and also adjust the Bokeh effect to create stunning portrait image.
The company claims that the Galaxy A7's 24MP lens lets more light in by combining four pixels into one pixel to get crisp pictures even in low-light conditions.
It also boasts Samsung's intelligent Scene Optimizer, which enables the camera to categorise subject and adjusts the colour, contrast and brightness to instantly optimize camera settings and get the best photo possible.
On the front, it houses an equally impressive 24MP snapper and an adjustable LED flash. Consumers can try bokeh effect selfies with Selfie Focus, and mimic professional studio lighting with Pro Lighting Mode. Add a personal touch and express yourself with AR emoji, and flattering filters, Samsung claims.
Other stipulated features include 6.0-inch full HD+ super AMOLED screen, Android Oreo OS, 2.2GHz Exynos 7885 octa-core processor backed by 4GB/6GB RAM, 64GB/128GB storage (expandable up to 512GB) and a 3,300mAh battery, which is more than enough to keep the phone running for a whole day under mixed usage.
