The A7 is a big phone and I hate big phones.

    I can live with the weak processor and the thick bezels, but it's 2021 and the screen should be at least 1080p, also for an outdoor phone which you are supposed to take outdoors with no plug the battery should be it's strong point i would like to see that 7000mAh battery that they put in other phones. Literally this phone doesn't make any sense!

      Samsung going in the right way. All brands should work to built such phones which get protected from its outer cover itself and not to try make thin phones which need a extra cover to protect it. Extra cover increases its volume and hides phone's beauty.

          What..... 3000Mah with Exynos 850... This is the weirdest phone I ever seen.... Android 11 with One UI 2.0..... Isn't One UI 2.0 for Android...? Or it's my problem. Still, Exynos 850 with 3000 Mah was weird... My A21s was packed with Exynos 850 as well... But it's 5000 Mah.... Is this my imagination....?

            I got this phone. It's pretty cool. Yeah, it's definitely not for gaming. As rugged as it can be. Exactly what I want. I don't play games on my phone much, so this is perfect.

              I can 100% guarantee you this lags awfully in the most general of usage. That Exynos 850 is SLOW. Even the Snapdragon 665 in the $130 Poco M3 is 80%~ faster, and nobody has called that phone fast.

                The major drawback is battery capacity. It should have at least 5000mah. Thicker body is not a problem for this kind of phone.

                    Looks promising! I hope gsmarena will do a review of this phone.

It's not designed for games, its designed for people who work in industries such as Construction where photos of works completed etc. is needed.

                      Not gaming...

                        Really?

                          What??? No wide camera? No macro? No 4k?
                          "Rugged" phone with no physical buttons?
                          Still no screw back cover???
                          Only 4GB of RAM???
                          So what's the difference between a low spec phone with a case and this modest hardware?
                          Samsung really forgot what xCover brand used to be.
                          What a waste...

                            Android 11 , One UI 2.0
                            Wut?

                              Why it has to be Exynos 850
                              This Chip will game 45±°C (Temp may change depends graphics settings and game load)
                              There's a frame drop if you played too long like over 4 hours

                              Why not use Exynos 880 it Has 5G , Cortex A77 , and Better Gpu
