Samsung Galaxy A7 size comparison: this is how it fares against its rivals

We have a new kid on the Samsung block - its thinnest smartphone ever, the Galaxy A7, a stylish upper mid-range device. With dimensions of 5.94 x 3.00 x 0.25 inches (151 x 76.2 x 6.3 mm) and tipping the scales at 4.97 oz (141gr), you'll probably have to check twice if it's in your pocket when leaving for work.

Undoubtedly, its svelte silhouette is probably the biggest highlight of the Galaxy A7, but how does it fare size-wise against all those devices that are already out on the shelves? More importantly, how does is compare with the best coming from Apple, the iPhone 6? Is it a noteworthy competitor or yet another star in Samsung's large galaxy of devices?

Let's put the Galaxy A7 against several popular smartphones and see for ourselves!

I don't care for it but that's just my opinion. Not much difference between this and any other galaxy to me.

I like it, but I'm looking for something different from samsung and others, I'm starting to get bored with smartphones these days, I used to sit and want a certain device, like buying a galaxy s4 then wishing I waited and bought a z2 then starving for a GS5 and getting it then an alpha later on, now it seems it's settling down .. they're becoming similar ... the alpha is not that different from the gs5 i owned before. the M8 is not any better than an M7 just faster twin camera thing which is still as bad the Qhd thing now is meaningless I've seen HD on a Mega 6.3 and it's very good ... cameras are becoming near perfect now .. few years back there were differences ..
