Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) specs revealed in benchmarks

For a little background, the current version of the Galaxy A7 includes Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615, 3 gigs of RAM, a 5.5-inch FHD display, 16 GB of expandable storage, a 3300 mAh battery and 5 / 13-megapixel cameras on the front and back respectively. 

According to GFXBench, the new model will be furnished with the same 1080 x 1920 display, but will be powered by Samsung's own Exynos 7870 chipset with Mali T830 graphics this time. There's set to be 3 GB RAM once more, while the likely expandable storage could also double up to 32 GB.

Elsewhere, Samsung has decided to change both of the cameras. The front and back shooters of the Galaxy A7 check in at 16 megapixels apiece, which is in line with what we're expecting of the Galaxy A5 (2017).

Software-wise, the version that has checked through GFXBench includes Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Given that Samsung will probably launch the refreshed A series models very late this year to early next, it's reasonable to hope that Android 7.0 Nougat could be on board. However, we should hasten to add that the current A7 (2016) shipped with the older Android 5.1 Lollipop, despite the fact that Marshmallow had been around for a good few months. Either way, we expect Samsung's TouchWiz overlay to feature once more.

We'll have more info as it arrives, so stay tuned.
