Flashback: a look back at the best Samsung Galaxy A phones through the years. Samsung built up the Galaxy A series as a popular line of premium mid-rangers. This week we saw three new additions, but to appreciate how far the series has come we need to look back to the beginning. We already examined the very beginning of the line, the Galaxy Alpha, which wanted to the sleek and stylish instead of a features before looks style flagship like the Galaxy S5. We're not going to cover every single A-series phone, instead we'll try to check in on the more interesting models. We will see that they refined the Alpha formula - that was a bit more style over substance for most Samsung fans, so the company shifted the balance towards more value. We see that in the Samsung Galaxy A7. At just 6.3mm thick, it was thinner than even the Alpha (6.7mm). Its metal frame and 5.5" 1080p Super AMOLED display made it stand out against run of the mill mid-rangers. In our review we described it as an affordable alternative to the Galaxy Note4 for those who had no need for a stylus. Getting compared to a Note means that the A7 really managed to sell its premium image.
