I saw a video comparing to note 4 and it looked even better.

The only nice thing about this Samsung phone is metal edges, other than that it looks like your typical cheaplooking Samsung phone. Meizu looks premium, and also has one of the best fingerprint sensors which of course is missing on the A7 because Samsung wants massive profit margins.

          The Snapdragon 615 is a true midrange chipset built for afordable phones in $150-$250 price range. To this that Samsung are charging double that just for their name and metal build that costs them $10 is hilarious. It is even beaten by the mediatek 6752. There was a comparison done between a HTC Phone that has 2 variants with each processor and the mediatek destroys the snapdragon.

          You can get a mediatek 6752 phone for $200 or under. It also runs cooler, snapdragon 615 overheats alot.

            As per the usual samsung strategy, if you wait for 2 months, the price will reduce by 30% just like galaxy alpha but the device looks great

              Dont compare the phone with Yu Yureka or any Chineese rebrands..

              The only model that can be compared with A7 is HTC 820 which is priced around $ 400. But 820 is having only a 720p display, while this is 1080p and 820 is huge at 5.5 inches, not comfortable to use..

              Samsung priced A5 around $ 400, but it should be A7 at $ 400. A5 can be priced around $ 300..

                AnonD-312360, 16 Feb 2015I wonder how the snapdragon 615 compares with the 410. Any ... more410 is an entry level 64 bit snapdragon
                615 is a mid range 64 bit snapdragon
                810 is the high end 64 bit snapdragon

                So i guess you should see big difference in performance from each one..

                    Price ain't so bad, but I wished if the price is just slightly lower by $50 - $60, that would be great.

                              The slimmest Samsung Phone Ever.

                                    $500 for mid range chipset is just hilarious. Fools will still buy it though, Samsung must be making record profit margins on each one of these sold.

                                    Phone is average looking too imo. Wow Samsung are using metal, wooptidoo.
