After an official confirmation in the shape of a preview in Malaysia, Samsung is finally making the Galaxy A7 official on a global scale. While release dates and pricing are still unknown, the latest post on Samsung's official blog Samsung Tomorrow reveals all the technical details of this large screen handset advertised as the company's slimmest smartphone yet.
