Galaxy A7 (2018) Price in Pakistan & Full Specs
Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan
The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) made history as Samsung's first triple-camera smartphone, announced in September 2018. It combined a 6.0-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display, Exynos 7885 chip, 24MP + 8MP ultrawide + 5MP depth rear cameras, 24MP front camera, and Samsung's first side-mounted fingerprint reader. Discontinued for years, it now trades in Pakistan's used market as a camera-focused budget option — on Android 10 at best. This guide pairs its verified specs with the honest limits of a 2018 phone in 2026.

Design and Build Quality
The A7 (2018) is slim at 7.5mm and light at 168g, with a glass front and a glossy plastic back in Black, Blue, Gold or Pink. Its signature feature is the side-mounted fingerprint reader in the power button — a Samsung first, and still a fast, ergonomic unlock. There is no water resistance. On used units, check the plastic back for deep scratches, the power-button sensor for reliable reads, and the AMOLED screen for burn-in.
Display Features
The 6.0-inch Super AMOLED panel at 1080 x 2220 (about 411 ppi) in the tall 18.5:9 ratio was a genuine highlight — sharp text, vivid colours, deep blacks. It remains pleasant for video and reading in 2026, outclassing LCDs on new phones near this used price — though brightness cannot compete with modern panels outdoors. As always with aged AMOLED, inspect for burn-in on grey and white test screens before buying.
Processor and Performance
The Exynos 7885 (14nm) pairs two 2.2GHz Cortex-A73 performance cores with six 1.6GHz Cortex-A53 efficiency cores and Mali-G71 MP2 graphics — meaningfully faster than the Exynos 7880 in the A7 (2017) thanks to those big A73 cores. In 2026 it handles everyday apps, social media and light games acceptably, especially with 6GB of RAM — the most capable chip among the 2018 models in this batch, though not a gaming chip.
RAM and Storage
Three configurations: 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, 4GB with 128GB, and 6GB with 128GB. A dedicated microSD slot (up to 512GB) means dual-SIM plus storage expansion is possible — no hybrid-slot compromise. The 6GB/128GB version is the one to seek out; it multitasks noticeably better. Confirm the exact RAM/storage variant in Settings, since "A7 2018" alone does not identify which one you are buying.
Camera Features
This is the phone's reason to exist: Samsung's first triple camera — a 24MP main sensor (f/1.7), an 8MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 120-degree field of view) and a 5MP depth sensor for Live Focus portraits. Daylight photos are detailed with pleasant Samsung colour, the ultrawide adds real flexibility missing from every other phone in this batch, and the 24MP front camera (f/2.0) takes strong selfies. Weaknesses: no OIS, weak low light with no night mode worthy of the name, and 1080p30 video. For daylight photography on a tight used budget, it is the best camera in this group.
Battery and Charging
The 3,300mAh battery is the A7 (2018)'s weakest spec — modest even in 2018, and every original cell is now eight years old. Check battery health and replacement-part availability before buying; there is no fast charging, and a full charge over microUSB 2.0 takes over two hours. With a degraded battery, screen-on time may be just a few hours — if the seller has fitted a fresh battery, the phone becomes far more practical, so ask directly.
Software and Updates
Android 8.0 Oreo at launch, officially upgradable to Android 10 with One UI 2.0 — and nothing since, with no security patches for years. Android 10 still runs many everyday apps in 2026 — more usable than the Android-8-capped A7 (2017) — but banking apps increasingly require newer versions and the missing patches are a genuine security risk. Keep banking and sensitive accounts off this phone; it is suited to calls, messaging, media and photography, not to being your digital wallet.
Connectivity and Additional Features
4G LTE (Cat 6, up to 300Mbps) — verify bands with your carrier. Dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou, NFC, FM radio with RDS, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with Dolby Atmos enhancement. Notably, Samsung stuck with microUSB 2.0 instead of USB-C — a dated port needing the right cable. No 5G, no water resistance: practical 2018 connectivity, nothing more.
Variants, Colours and Availability
Verified configurations: 4GB/64GB, 4GB/128GB, 6GB/128GB. Colours: Black, Blue, Gold, Pink.
Do not confuse it with the other Galaxy A7 generations
The 2018 is the triple-camera one with the side fingerprint reader — the 2015 has no fingerprint reader at all, the 2016 has a front reader and OIS camera, and the 2017 has IP68 and USB-C. Model number SM-A750 identifies the 2018. Always confirm the year and model number with the seller.
Used-market availability
Discontinued for years, so all units are used. The camera system is the value proposition — test all three rear lenses and the front camera, plus the side fingerprint sensor, both SIM slots, and the microUSB port. Verify the IMEI via SMS to 8484.
Price in Pakistan and PTA Information
The store-listed price is Rs. 28,000 (Zohaan Mobile Gallery listing, verified 2026-10-11). The 6GB/128GB variant justifies the upper end of used pricing; 4GB/64GB units should cost less. Confirm the variant and current price with the store.
PTA: PTA approval is per-device and per-IMEI. Send the unit's IMEI by SMS to 8484 and confirm "Compliant" before paying. How to check PTA approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) in Pakistan?
Rs. 28,000 on the Zohaan Mobile Gallery listing (verified 2026-10-11). Used prices vary by variant and condition — the 6GB/128GB model commands more.
What makes the Galaxy A7 (2018) special?
It was Samsung's first triple-camera phone (24MP + 8MP ultrawide + 5MP depth) and its first with a side-mounted fingerprint reader — both genuine 2018 milestones.
What is the difference between the A7 (2017) and A7 (2018)?
The 2018 trades the 2017's IP68 and USB-C for a triple camera with ultrawide, a faster Exynos 7885, a side fingerprint reader and up to 6GB RAM — but keeps microUSB and a smaller 3,300mAh battery.
Does it have a fingerprint sensor?
Yes — side-mounted in the power button, a first for Samsung.
Can I use banking apps on it?
Not safely. It is capped at Android 10 with no security patches, and banking apps increasingly demand newer versions.
Does it support 5G or have USB-C?
Neither — 4G LTE only, and it charges over microUSB 2.0.
Is it PTA approved?
PTA status is per-device. Verify the specific unit's IMEI by SMS to 8484 before purchase.

Final Verdict
The Galaxy A7 (2018) earns its place as the camera pick of the old A-series: a real ultrawide lens, a 24MP selfie camera and a sharp AMOLED screen for Rs. 28,000 used is a fair daylight-photography package. But the small ageing 3,300mAh battery, microUSB port and unpatched Android 10 cap its role: a secondary phone for photos, media and messaging in the 6GB/128GB variant, bought after testing every camera and the battery. For primary-phone duties in 2026, buy something current instead.
