This device is borderline decent but definitely not a good contender in the midrange segment at this price tag. I was kinda disappointed that Samsung opted for such a weak GPU configuration in the global versions. Mind you, the Mali-T720MP2 will run most games you throw at it without too much hassle but will struggle to keep up with floating point intensive workloads. Javascript performance in Chrome was noticeably terrible, not to mention that Chrome is notoriously bad on Android but I've noticed far too many lags and hiccups all over the place.

What's worse is that Samsung intentionally dumbed down the phone with a 32-bit build of Android on otherwise 64-bit capable hardware. The arm64-v8a/AArch-64 aka ARMv8 ISA isn't even implemented. Yes, they chose to stick with the dated ARMv7 ABI and therefore seriously limit the capabilities of this device. In other words, you can't run apps that are specifically compiled for the 64-bit ARMv8 ABI on the A7.

This is incredibly backwards imho.

The phone is good but some time the sound is not working automatically if i get message or any other notifications there is no sound until i restart. I don't know the problem is whether in device or software.
Please upgrade it Android 6.0 so that we need to check the problem in device or software

1- when u charge mobile then to sure all application to be closed, because might be access charging during, so heat then. other wise no any heating issue in A7 2016. i m using 22 feb 2016.
2- Fast charger adapter and fast charging phone both be confirugred, if u using company charge then auto deduct charge volt , fast adaptive charging which charge high 2.1ma.
3- Light sensor work , if adjust auto brightness checked then will work auto light condtion.
4- Every thing is good in A7. Camera front and rear Good, Voice Quality, Mic good, cat 6 Band high speed browsing, speaker on bottom Good, 3 slots dedicated, finger print wroking fine, NFC. about this amount 26K or 28K best phone.

Mikko, 10 Jul 2016samsung a7 2016 Easily get hot Always hang up Not recommnded1) It gets hot fast if you leave your apps running in foreground, background apps don't affect it much unless it uses location services.

2) IDK how yours hang up often, mine works totally fine.

In the end, it's about your budget. This phone is good, but if you have the cash to splurge further get something else, say, an S7 edge.
Or wait for the latest iPhone.

AnonD-555693, 02 Jul 2016I am afraid of dropping. I heard that samsung used very poor gorilla in this phone. Is it righ... moreGorilla protection means it doesnt break it only shatters and can withstand some drops than a non gorilla phn and scratch resistant
