Samsung Galaxy A7 now available for $442 on Amazon in the US

The Samsung Galaxy A7, which was launched early this year, is now available to buy online in the US.

Amazon US has listed the smartphone for $442 (£285), which is a SIM-free/unlocked variant. The portal has reportedly waved off shipping charges on delivery of the device.

The USP of the Galaxy A7 is its metal-clad outer-cover and that it has already started receiving Android 5.0 (Lollipop) OS update in various parts of the world. The device runs the Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) out-of-the-box.

Potential buyers can navigate to Amazon US to purchase the Samsung Galaxy A7.
