Availability

[edit]

The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) was released in China on December 15, 2015, followed by other countries in the Q1 2016. As of April 2016, the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2016) is now available in Eastern Europe (only Russia, Ukraine and Turkey),[4] Africa, Middle East, Latin America and Asia. It is not available in North America and rest of Europe.

While its predecessor Samsung Galaxy A7 (2015) had broader availability in Europe, this model was never sold in Europe because it was deemed too expensive and also near-direct competitor against Samsung Galaxy S6.
