• Handset has same colour scheme as Apple handsets, with curved corners
  • Samsung says handset offers ‘superior social experience’

At first glance, it looks like Apple’s last generation handset, the iPhone 5S, with its curved edges, metallic band and silver home button surround.

However, in fact this is Samsung’s latest Android handset, the Galaxy A7.

Samsung hopes the handset will appeal to Apple users, saying it is: ‘one of the slimmest Galaxy smartphones equipped with premium hardware for a superior social experience.’

​The Galaxy A7 is equipped with a multicore processor combining two separate quad core processors, 16GB of memory and 2GB of RAM.

​It also has a 5 Megapixel front-facing camera and advanced selfie features including ‘Ultra Wide Shot’ and ‘Auto Selfie’ modes, which make it possible to take a photograph using only a voice command or even a simple wave of the hand.

‘With these devices, Samsung continues to focus on creating smartphones equipped with the slimmest metal unibody on the market today, with comfortable grip for ease of use.’

‘The range empowers users to choose a device which reflects their personal style and lifestyle needs, not just in terms of their unique features, but also their size and colour options,’ said
