Samsung Galaxy A7(2018) Review, Specification, and Price in Nigeria
This A8 (2018) look alike Samsung S8 features specification worth of flagship devices though when the first A-series device was launched in 2015 we thought it was only for an experiment on how metal phones are going to look due to the fact that it was the first metal smartphone Samsung designed, or better still just an experimenting device for the next S-Series device.
However, exceeding our imaginations and thoughts, though the A series look so much like the S-series which led us to reach such conclusion, Samsung proved us wrong right from the start and till now showing us how the A series is not for experiment but another series on its own with specifications of the flagship devices at mid-range prices, I think the reason for this smartphone series is so that everyone can have access to Samsung alluring devices even without emptying their pocket.

Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) OS
Samsung Galaxy A7(2018) runs on the Android 7.0 Marshmallow though it could have been better with the newest 8.0 Oreo, however, there is a plan for a possible update to 8.0, we hope tis plan will materialize. in addition to the Os version, the A7 (2018) also sports the Samsung Experience UX, which is simpler, clearer and also uses softer colors and slightly smaller, squircle icons, the swipe-up app drawer, well segmented settings menu, themes selection and customization options making it easier on the eyes and colourful in every right sense.

Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Storage
Samsung Galaxy A7 comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (there will be other models in different markets), and Samsung still keeps to using the microSD card slot to expand the on-board space. Looking at the 32 gigs internal storage i would say, that it’s not worth it cos 32 gigs could hardly contain all my songs and videos, and there are cheaper phones with more storage, however, maybe the Micro SD will suffice, since, storage can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card which is enough to store any document.
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Battery
Though when it comes to battery Samsung is still on the run they are yet to reach their destination but still, they are able to hold their user up for at least 14 hours before. This smartphone is powered by a non-removable 3,000 mAh battery which is the same battery capacity that powers the Galaxy S8, however, this battery is a little smaller to the A7 (2017) but still huge compared to most mid-smartphone. Thanks to the processor and OS the phone does not drains the battery life fast at least it spent up to a day.
