Samsung Galaxy A7 vs Galaxy S5 vs Apple iPhone 6: specs comparison
It turned out that we're dealing a quite thin device with a full-metal body, which is still a new trend for Samsung, which was on of the few major manufacturers that abstained from utilizing metal to the last possible moment.
We're dealing with a mid-range smartphone at best. Equipped with a 5-inch, 720p Super AMOLED display, a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 chipset, 2GB of RAM, a 13MP rear camera, and a 2,300mAh battery under the hood. But is it a worth it to get if you're sporting a slightly-dated Samsung Galaxy S5 or an Apple iPhone 6, for example? Let's check out the specs sheets of this trio and see for ourselves!
