The release of Samsung Galaxy A7 may happen soon as more clues reveal what consumers can expect from the device. The alleged specs sheet of the device leaked online revealing that the handset is not as inferior as many people think. 

The leaked document picked up by Sammobile shows that the Galaxy A7 will have the same processor used in the Galaxy Note 4. The smartphone will reportedly pack an Exynos 5433 processor. The chipset will be composed of 1.8 GHz Cortex-A57 cores and Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.3 GHz to manage the main processes and general tasks, respectively. 

Being a mid-range smartphone, it was previously reported that the Galaxy A7 will have a Snapdragon 615 processor, which is way inferior to the current Exynos 5433. Furthermore, the report added that Samsung will only use the Exynos 5433 for the A7 handset, since the chipset has LTE connectivity. There is no way to confirm the feature until Samsung announces something official. 

Most consumers are looking forward to the smartphone's metal casing. Unlike most Samsung smartphones, the Galaxy A7 will sport a metallic body making the device sturdier. The metal casing first appeared in the Galaxy Alpha after consumers' request to encase a device in a more durable material. 

Another feature of the smartphone is a 5.5-inch screen display with Full HD (1920 x 1080) pixel resolution. It is also purported to have 2 GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front shooter, 16 GB of internal storage capacity, 2600 mAh battery capacity, and Android 4.4 KitKat operating system. 

Samsung Galaxy A7 is included in the new A series along with Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5. The South Korean tech company already took the wraps off the A3 and A5, but gave no hint on the release of the higher end A7 handset.
