Early Verdict
If you don't fancy wielding an S Pen, however, and want a big-screen phone then the A7 does fit this category.
While it doesn't match Samsung's current flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S5, on specs - except for a better front-facing camera - this design will no doubt carry on in the Samsung Galaxy S6. And that is definitely something to get excited about.
