About Samsung Galaxy A7 2016

Samsung’s Galaxy A7 2016 slots comfortably in the mid‑range segment with a 5.5‑inch AMOLED panel that delivers full HD resolution, offering sharp colours and deep blacks in a relatively compact footprint. At just over seven millimetres thick and weighing 172 grams, the phone feels solid yet easy to hold, while its single‑SIM slot keeps the profile tidy for users who prefer a straightforward setup.

Running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop on a three‑gigabyte RAM platform, the device provides smooth multitasking for everyday tasks and media consumption. Power is supplied by a 3300 mAh battery, which, combined with the efficient OLED screen, promises a full day of use under typical conditions. The dimensions of 74.1 × 151.5 × 7.3 mm give the A7 a balanced presence in hand, making it a practical choice for those seeking a capable Samsung phone without the bulk of a flagship.

This variant

This SM‑A7100 is the plain, unlocked version of the A7 2016, distinguished by its single‑SIM slot despite the “Duos” label, whereas the other listed models carry the DS suffix and support dual‑SIM operation. It is also the only variant without a carrier‑specific letter code (K, L, S, M, F, Y), indicating it is the generic global model rather than a region‑locked or carrier‑tied edition. Moreover, it is the sole variant in the list explicitly marketed as a TD‑LTE device, while the rest are either standard LTE or dual‑SIM LTE variants.
