The Galaxy A7 has been on our radar for some time, most recently in regards to its Full HD Display, a detail that was confirmed earlier today by Samsung in a user agent profile for the device (SM-A700FD). The profile also revealed that the A7 will feature an ARMv8-A 64-bit processor, not unlike the upcoming A5.

It is also worth noting that the D in the model number indicates a dual SIM device, which is unsurprising since the A7 will launch in China, where most phones offer dual SIM slots. The phones are said to launch with Android 4.4 KitKat but will presumably be updated to 5.0 Lollipop to properly utilize those 64-bit processors. These are shaping up to be some premium mid-range devices and are expected to launch in other markets soon. Let us know in the comments if the Galaxy A7 piques your interest.
