The Galaxy A7 is equipped with Samsung’s very own Exynos 5433 processor, which is the same processor that beats in their Galaxy Note 4, which makes the A7 a good Note 4 alternative if you’re looking for something as powerful as the Note but has a cheaper price tag. Both the A5 and A3 uses the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor that we saw on the company’s Grand Prime Duos, but with LTE on board.
As beautiful as these phones are, you’ll be paying a pretty penny for them – Samsung has pegged the price of the A3 at Php 16,990 while the A5 goess for Php 19,990. The A7 meanwhile, is the most expensive of the bunch, going as high as Php 24,990. These three smartphones will be hitting stores later this month.
