Samsung has unveiled its third smartphone in the Galaxy A series at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Featuring a bold 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy A7 is bigger than both the Galaxy A5 and A6. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s uncomfortable to hold or use.

Samsung normally installs its TouchWiz skin to Galaxy smartphones, adding several helpful tools and features to the device. Google Play Edition devices are designed to eliminate the use of third-party software such as this, allowing users to run their device with the core Android operating system.
