Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018)
RM 789.00
Price last checked: 2 Jan 2020. Confirm current price before buying.
A triple rear camera setup was still uncommon at this price point back in 2018, and that's the main selling point here: a 24MP f/1.7 main lens paired with an 8MP ultrawide and a 5MP depth sensor for portrait shots. Front-facing, there's a 24MP camera too, so selfies aren't an afterthought.
Under the hood is Samsung's own Exynos 7885 Octa chipset with a Mali-G71 GPU, backed by 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. That storage figure is generous for the era, and there's a dedicated microSD slot if you need more, up to 512GB. The 6.0-inch Super AMOLED screen runs at 1080 x 2220 with around 411 ppi density, giving you sharp colours without pushing into flagship territory.
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) price in Malaysia starts from RM789. Battery capacity sits at 3300 mAh, which is on the modest side, though the phone is fairly light at 168g. It ships with Android 8.0 Oreo and includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC support, and Dolby Atmos sound tuning.
