Samsung’s A-team is getting a massive upgrade and it looks like its gonna be epic. Check out the changes that will happen on Samsung’s A-series devices and what can the new 2016 versions offer.
For starters, shooters will get a massive upgrade, all 3 of these devices will receive an OIS feature on their rear shooter and selfie shooter, with all becoming 13MP rear shooters (with the former A3, having an 8MP rear shooter). Structure-wise, theres been a change in their thickness and weight, with all 3 devices now at 7.3mm thickness, consistently. The A5 and A7 also received a fairly unique fingerprint sensor feature (better late than never), while the A3 gets left behind.
Screen and resolution-wise, there were a few changes seen on the A5, which is now getting a .2-inch boost on the screen and a 1080p boost in resolution, while the A3 gets upgraded from its 540p qHD display into a better, but still not great 720p HD display. Battery-wise all 3 devices get a huge leap, with the A7, now having a 3300mAh battery (former 2600mAh battery), the A5 now at 2900mAh battery (former 2300mAh battery) and the A3 at 2300mAh battery (former 1900mAh battery).
