Huawei’s P20 Pro started the trend towards the end of last year and now triple-cameras are quickly becoming the norm. Samsung just launched the Galaxy A7, a mid-range device that features a triple-camera on its rear.
A 24MP / F1.7 main camera is joined by an 8MP / F2.4 super-wide-angle with a 120-degree field of view and a third 5MP module is reserved for creating the background-blurring fake bokeh effect in portrait mode. So, unfortunately the Samsung’s triple-cam setup does not come with a tele lens but maybe that’s too much to ask from a mid-ranger at this point.
The rear camera uses Samsung’s Intelligent Scene Optimizer system, which uses scene recognition to automatically adjust contrast, brightness and color for optimized image output.

The front camera features a 24MP / F2.0 camera module, LED flash and bokeh mode, so should be good for decent selfies, even in low light conditions. The rest of the specifications look very respectable for a mid-range device as well. The 6-inch Super AMOLED display comes with a 1,080 x 2,220 resolution and the Android OS is powered by an 8-core Exynos chipset and, depending on region, 4 or 6GB of RAM.
Internal memory options go up to 128GB and a microSD slot is on board as well. A side fingerprint sensor and Dolby Atmos sound complete the package. The only unknown at this point is the price. However, Samsung has promised to provide more information at a Galaxy event on October 11th. We’ll keep you posted.
