Today Samsung Korea has announced the launch of the Samsung Galaxy A7 which features a 24MP Telephoto + 8MP Wide Angle + 5MP Depth Sensor camera setup at the rear, 24MP front facing selfie camera, 6-inch Super AMOLED display and Bixby. Available in either Blue, Black or Gold color scheme, the comes with memory options of up to 128GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM.

The speculated device is listed under the serial code, SM-A730x which is highly speculated to be the 2018 version of the popular Samsung Galaxy A7 because the last Galaxy A7 (2017) was coded as SM-720x. The alleged 2018 version of the Samsung Galaxy A7 is also listed to come with a SoC Octa-core 2.1GHz processor with 4GB RAM and an internal memory of 32GB.

As we enter a brand new month, Samsung Malaysia Electronics has recently updated their mySamsung app to further help their customers to manage their devices, providing easy and direct access to customer service representatives, as well as enjoy Samsung ownership privileges.

Guess who’s back? The rumours of Samsung Galaxy A series resurface again refusing to lay low, reports are stating that the second-gen of Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-7100) has been certified in China by regulatory agency TENAA; and the Samsung Galaxy A9 was spotted online in an Iranian website with some tech specs.

AnTuTu has revealed some next-generation Samsung Galaxy A7 tech specs and it looks pretty good so far, but these are only leaks however so take it with a pinch of salt. 

Along with the Exynos 7580 chipset, the image teased that the A7 will also be powered by 3GB RAM, has 16GB worth of storage, a 5.5-inch display with full HD 1080p resolution, a 13MP main camera plus a 5MP front camera and an Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS.

So according to the supposed Android Marshmallow update for next year,  the next versions for the Samsung Galaxy A5 and Samsung Galaxy A7 are expected to be released next year. We just got some leaked pictures from China (again) and some unofficial tech specs too:-

Samsung Galaxy A5 II

• 1.6GHz Exynos 7 Octa processor
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB internal storage with microSD expansion support
• 5.2-inch full HD display
• 13MP rear camera and 5MP front-facing camera
• Android Lollipop (5.1.1)

Samsung Galaxy A7 II

• 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor
• 3GB RAM
• 16GB internal storage with microSD expansion support
• 5.5-inch full HD display
• 13MP rear camera and 5MP front-facing camera
• Android Lollipop (5.1.1)

So apparently, there's a leaked image of showing various Samsung Galaxy models to be updated with Android Marshmallow. Similarly to Marvel Studio Cinematic Phase plans, the image are showing 2 phase plans of which model will be updated first. There's also a third phase, but as of now there are no plans yet and it will only commence after initial testing (same goes to the n/a status below).

Samsung just can’t seem to catch a break, as previously reported that the Samsung Galaxy On5 and On7 are official. Now it seems there’s another rumour floating around in the Internet revealing the Samsung Galaxy A3 and Samsung Galaxy A7’s successors, coded SM-A310 (possibly the A3’s successor) and the SM-A710 (A7’s) is speculated to be in the works.

Digging through the information, here are the tech specs for the SM-A310 and SM-A710 respectively:-

• SM-A310
• Exynos 7580 SoC, quad-core 1.5GHz CPU and the Mali-T720 GPU
• 1.5GB RAM
• 16GB storage
• 4.7-inch display with 720 x 1280 resolution
• 13MP main camera and 5MP at the front
• Android 5.1.1

No surprises yesterday as Samsung launched their latest and greatest addition to the Galaxy A range of smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy A8 for RM1888. Featuring a mix of midrange and flagship tech specs and functions such as a fingerprint sensor, 16MP ISOCELL rear camera, 5MP wide f/1.9 aperture front camera (yep, the one from the Galaxy S6 series) and a midrange 2GB of RAM. Our first impressions of Samsung's thinnest smartphone (5.9mm at it's thinnest point) is that it certainly feels premium and not as large as the 5.7-inch display might suggest. According to Samsung, this is because of even thinner bezels than before while keeping the size compact. Check out our tech spec comparisons below but feel free to use our tech spec comparison tool to compare the Galaxy A8 against any smartphone you can think of. In any case, the Samsung Galaxy A8 is available in black, gold and white at all authorized stores. As part of the launch festivities, Samsung had Juliana Evans as their brand ambassador on hand to give away autographs.

The HTC One E9+ was recently launched here in Malaysia for RM1899. Available for purchase in Gold Sepia and Classic Rose Gold, the HTC One E9+ is currently on sale at authorized resellers. Tech specs and features look to be the similar as the asian release with a few exceptions which include a Mediatek Helio X10, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage expandable via microSD card, 5.5-inch 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution LCD display, a 20MP rear camera, 4MP UltraPixel front camera, and a 2800mAh battery backed by Android 5.0 (Lollipop) with HTC Sense UI 7.0. Similar to the HTC One E9 the One E9+ has 3GB RAM, a 20MP rear camera and a higher-end 2K or quad HD display. The design is also different in that the One E9+ uses a plastic back with glossy finish. Standout features include HTC Boom Sound and up to 2TB microSD (for when they actually exist), support for flac audio and dual nano SIM 4G LTE.
