Samsung Galaxy A7 price in Malaysia starts from RM980, putting it in budget territory even by the standards of when it launched back in 2015. The 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display is the standout here, running at 1080 x 1920 with a sharp 401 ppi, and it's paired with a body that's just 6.3mm thick, so it doesn't feel bulky despite the screen size.
Inside, you get either a Snapdragon 615 or Exynos 5430 depending on the variant, backed by 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage that expands to 64 GB via microSD. That's enough for everyday apps and browsing, though it won't handle demanding games well by today's standards.
The 13 MP rear camera covers basics like autofocus, LED flash and HDR, while the 5 MP front camera handles selfies and video calls at 1080p. A 2600 mAh battery keeps things running, and it ships on Android KitKat with an upgrade path to Lollipop, plus NFC for contactless use cases.
