Malaysia getting the Samsung Galaxy A7 in February

The Samsung Galaxy A7 launched in Russia earlier this month and now it's headed to Malaysia. The slender phablet will cost MYR 1,500 ($410/€365). That's a noticeably better deal than Russia got where the phablet is $530/€450 (as usual tech gets a hefty markup there).

The Samsung Galaxy A7 will be available through Samsung Experience Stores and authorized dealers starting in February. It will come in three color versions - Midnight Black, Pearl White and Champagne Gold.

The smaller Samsung Galaxy A5 is already available at MYR 1,200 ($330/€290). Both devices have metal frames and 64-bit Snapdragon chipsets, but the Galaxy A7 is bigger with its 5.5" 1080p Super AMOLED screen, has eight cores instead of four and is actually thinner than its sibling - 6.3mm vs. 6.7mm.
