The Galaxy A7 is Samsung’s first triple-camera smartphone

What’s better than two cameras? A free snowboarding holiday of course. But also – three cameras, which is what you’ll get if you pick up Samsung’s new Galaxy A7 mid-ranger. That arsenal is comprised of a 24MP f/1.7 main camera, an 8MP f/2.4 120-degree wide-angle lens and a 5MP f/2.2 depth sensor. Combined, you get better performance in all lighting conditions, while bokeh can be adjusted on portraits. You’ll also find a 24MP snapper on the front. The all-glass Galaxy A7 sports a 6in Super AMOLED display, a 3,300 mAh battery, 4 or 6GB of RAM, and an Octa Core chipset. There’s a fingerprint sensor on the side, Dolby Atmos support, and even a Bixby appearance. You’ll be able to pick one up in a range of snazzy colours soon, but no word on release date or price yet.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
