Adding on to its line of premium mid-range smartphones, Samsung recently launched the Galaxy A7 in India. Priced starting at Rs. 23,990, the all-new Galaxy A7 is the first smartphone from the company to feature a triple camera setup on the back which includes an 8MP 120-degree ultra-wide angle lens, another first for Samsung.
If you’ve been keeping up with our coverage of the Galaxy A7, you’d already know that the smartphone ships with a 5V/1.55A charging brick in the box which supplies power to the device using a USB Type-A to microUSB cable. Samsung hasn’t clarified if the device supports fast charging and looking at the included charging brick we can easily assume that the device won’t charge as fast as its competitors.
Battery Life
Talking about the battery life, the Samsung Galaxy A7 fared quite well in our testing, thanks to the more battery friendly Super AMOLED display and decent software optimizations. In order to get a more accurate idea of the Galaxy A7’s battery life, we put the device through two different use case scenarios – one with a normal workload and one with intensive use. Here’s what we found:
Samsung Galaxy A7 Battery Life and Charging Test: Great Battery Life But No Fast Charging
In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy A7’s 3,300mAh battery is quite substantial for any kind of workload and if you’ve been meaning to buy the device you should definitely go ahead without worrying about any battery related issues. However, do keep in mind that the Galaxy A7 doesn’t include fast charging support and the included 5V/1.55A power brick won’t be able to charge up the device as quickly as you might want it to. In case you still think that the 3,300mAh battery on the Galaxy A7 just isn’t enough, you can also opt for the Poco F1 which packs in a larger 4,000mAh battery or perhaps the ZenFone Max Pro M1 or Motorola One Power, which pack in a massive 5,000mAh battery.
