What's the point of buying mid-range or low-range phones? There are many features that are exclusive only for flagship phones. Old flagship phones are always better than new mid-range or new low-range phones. They have similar prices. And if you buy an used old flagship phone, it may even be cheaper.

          What ''plastic'' are you talking about, again??
          (not that I don't like plastic better than 'metal-unibody' BS)

                      What is this garbage? This is a CLEAR DOWNGRADE from A5 2016 - no metal, no glass! Samsung, you're really disappointing me with the A series this year!

                        Aww i thought it would have glass on the back as the 2016 version! i really hope the A7 2017 has glass on the back, even when it felt weird at first, i look plastic in a different way now (glass looks better)

                                I would buy it! Now, if it release on Canada... And it's weird it launches on MM while the "old" A5 2014 has a stable Nougat build being reviewed by carriers. That means we'll wait for N and O. We probably won't have P on that device...

                                  What the hell is a 24nm chip? No such process exists, the 7880 is a merely clocked up version of the 7870 with a better GPU.
