Samsung announced Monday the launch of the Galaxy A7, one of the company’s slimmest smartphones ever.<\/p>\n

The very Galaxy Alpha-like device has a metal frame and a body, which is only 6.3mm (0.245 inches) thick.<\/p>\n

With Samsung’s head of IT & Mobile JK Shin describing the device as “stylish,” it’s obvious that Samsung is going for looks first and performance second.<\/p>\n

Still, the Galaxy A7 has a decent set of specifications, with a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen, a 1.8GHz quad.core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of memory (extendable up to 64GB via a microSD memory card) and a 13-megapixel shooter on the back.<\/p>\n

Other features of note include a 2,600mAh battery, LTE support and Android 4.4 KitKat. Interestingly, Samsung’s specifications list the screen as HD, but the company never specifies whether it means full HD (1920×1080 pixels) or HD ready (1280×720 pixels).<\/p>\n

The device will also be available as a dual-SIM variant, but with a slightly slower, 1.5GHz quad-core main processor.<\/p>\n

The phone is a continuation of Samsung’s Galaxy A line of products, with A3 and A5 being launched in Nov. 2014.<\/p>\n

Those two devices were also exceptionally slim \u2014 at 6.9mm (0.271 inches) and 6.7mm (0.264 inches), respectively \u2014 but not as much as the A7.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the company’s flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, has a body that’s 8.1mm (0.319 inches) thick.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy A7 will be available in three colors \u2014 Pearl White, Midnight Black, and Champagne Gold \u2014 in select markets, though Samsung did not disclose the date or price.<\/p>\n
