Samsung announced the latest refresh of the Galaxy A series with a trinity of devices including the A3,A5 and A7. The smartphones feature a premium metal frame and 3D glass back with sleek buttons.
The cameras in the devices have been enhanced with improvements resulting in stability, accurate autofocus and clear photos even in low light conditions. Taking selfies has been further made easier as touching anywhere on the screen snaps a high resolution selfie with the floating camera button. The display can also be used as a front flash for bright pictures. Further the camera uses a simplified UX including easy swipe to quickly change modes or instant filters to activate picture effects.
Taking a page out of the higher end models, the A series for the first time offers IP68 water and dust resistance which can withstand the elements including rain, sweat, sand and dust. The A5 and A7 come equipped with Fast Charge while the Type-C port on all 3 models takes it one step further into the current generation. An Always On Display helps users save time and battery by letting them quickly glance at the time or calendar without touching the device.
All devices will be available in Black Sky, Gold Sand, Blue Mist and Peach Cloud. Further details and pricing are expected soon.
