Samsung A7 2016 - A bad product, not recommended
Prashant Kapoor (May 5, 2016)
on Gadgets 360
I bought Samsung?s A7 2016 mobile in April'16 for Rs 32,500. From day 1 it was hanging, shutting down & heating. As it was under 7 days replacement guarantee, i returned it & got a new handset.
The new handset also had problems of hanging & shutting down (though it was not getting heated). I took-it to service centre. The fellow there told that it seemed to be software problem & reloaded the software. However, since the problem persisted, i again took-it to service centre. As it was over the 7 days replacement warranty, they refused to replace the handset. Instead, they kept the phone for checking & doing the needful. They replaced the motherboard & gave back the phone.
However, the phone was still hanging & shutting down. I again took-it to service centre. They again kept the phone with them for about 4-5 days for checking & returned saying that the phone does not seem to have any hardware issue & that the problem could be because i was transferring apps from the old phone (also a samsung phone, galaxy grand, 3 years old but still works great). So I was instructed not to transfer any app from the old mobile but to download them afresh. Accordingly, i have not transferred apps from the old mobile. However, phone is still hanging & shutting down. I have taken pics of the moment when the phone hanged & when it shutdown & watsapped it to the person at service centre.
Its almost a month since I bought this model & ever since have been running to the service centre. Fellows at service centre don?t seem to have any idea of the problem & are just doing trial & error. Meanwhile I am suffering. Suffering for believing in the Samsung brand & buying their phone with specs, which are easily available in other brands for much less cost. Rather than having just 7 days replacement guarantee, if Samsung is confident of the quality of its products, it should offer at least 1 month replacement guarantee. Else it should offer to replace the phone if the problem cannot be pinpointed & if the customer I dissatisfied.

Camera is very good and the battery back up is decent
Shiv Kumar (Apr 1, 2016)

Bought it from local store for 32500. Amazon's price is 35000 which is higher than the samsung online store too. Regarding the phone's performance and looks, only one word is apt "awesome".Never faced a lag while using this. C8amera is very good and the battery back up is decent.. with heavy usage, it lasts for more than 18-20 hours which is enough for me as i charge it every night with battery remaining 25-30% after using it from 4 am to 10 pm.
