You don't usually associate the word “exciting” with Samsung’s entry-level smartphones. More often than not, they’re predictable, safe, and frankly, a bit dull. But this year, Samsung has defied expectations. With the launch of the Galaxy A07, the brand has not only refreshed its cheapest A-series phone, it has actually made it exciting.
Priced at just Rs. 15,999, the Galaxy A07 enters Nepal’s market as the most affordable Samsung smartphone currently available, and it brings more than just a low price tag. With a faster processor, refined design, smoother display, and industry-leading software support, this device is shaping up to be a game-changer in the budget segment.
Let’s dive into what makes the Galaxy A07 more than just another entry-level device.
Price and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy A07 is now officially available across Nepal through all Samsung stores and online platforms. It comes in three variants:
-
Rs. 15,999 for 4GB RAM + 64GB storage
-
Rs. 17,999 for 4GB RAM + 128GB storage
-
Rs. 19,999 for 6GB RAM + 128GB storage
Every buyer also gets a free 25W Samsung charger in the box, which adds extra value to this already affordable phone.
Design
At first glance, the Galaxy A07 keeps the familiar design language of the A-series lineup , clean lines, a pill-shaped camera island, and soft edges. But it’s not all cosmetic. Samsung has taken meaningful steps to make this phone sturdier.
The A07 now features IP54 dust and splash resistance, a rare feature in this price range. The front glass has gone through a two-step tempering process, which should offer better resistance against minor scratches and drops. On the back, Samsung swapped the previous “Glastic” build with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP), a more durable and structurally sound material. You’ll feel the difference in the hand. It’s not premium, but it’s far from cheap-feeling.
At just 184g and 7.6mm thick, the phone remains light and comfortable to hold, especially for a 6.7-inch device.
Display
The display on the Galaxy A07 is a 6.7-inch PLS LCD panel with a HD+ resolution (720 x 1600). That might sound average, but Samsung has made one key improvement: 90Hz refresh rate. This alone changes the way the phone feels during everyday use , scrolling, swiping, and navigating now appear much smoother.
Sure, it’s not AMOLED, and there are competitors like the Tecno Spark series offering 120Hz screens. But for Samsung loyalists or users who prioritize long-term software support, this is a solid step forward.
Helio G99 Processor
This is where things get interesting. You probably expected Samsung to use the same Helio G85 chipset from previous A0x devices. But instead, Samsung has surprised everyone by equipping the A07 with the MediaTek Helio G99 (6nm) chipset , a massive performance leap.
To put this in context, the G99 delivers up to 77% better performance than the G85. It’s snappy in day-to-day tasks, and it’ll handle gaming titles like Free Fire and PUBG Mobile at medium settings without stutter. The GPU (Mali-G57) also ensures better thermal efficiency and battery life during long gaming sessions.
This processor upgrade alone puts the A07 in a different league compared to other phones under Rs. 20,000.
Memory, Storage, and Expansion
In Nepal, Samsung has launched three variants:
-
4GB RAM + 64GB – Rs. 15,999
-
4GB RAM + 128GB – Rs. 17,999
-
6GB RAM + 128GB – Rs. 19,999
While it’s a bit disappointing not to get the global 8GB/256GB variant, Samsung makes up for it with support for up to 2TB microSD card , an upgrade from last year’s 1.5TB support. The hybrid SIM slot is a bit of a letdown, though, especially for dual-SIM users.
Still, the 6/128GB variant at under 20K feels like an excellent value, especially for those looking to futureproof their purchase a bit.
Battery
As expected, the A07 houses a 5,000mAh battery, which has become standard in this segment. But thanks to the power efficiency of the 6nm Helio G99 chip, you can easily expect over a day of usage, even with heavy social media and light gaming.
Samsung retains 25W fast charging, and here's the pleasant surprise: Samsung Nepal is including a 25W charger in the box , something even many midrange phones don’t offer anymore. That alone adds extra value for budget buyers who don’t want to spend more on accessories.
Cameras
The Galaxy A07 comes with a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, you get an 8MP selfie shooter. While Samsung hasn’t made major hardware changes here, the camera quality is reliable for the price. You can expect decent daylight shots, clean portraits, and usable selfies.
Video is capped at 1080p at 30fps, both on front and back, again, very standard for this price point. If you need a phone that can “just get the job done” in photography, the A07 won’t disappoint.
Software
Arguably the strongest feature of the Galaxy A07 is its software longevity. Samsung ships it with Android 15 and OneUI 7, and has committed to six years of software support, three years of major Android updates and three additional years of security patches.
This is unheard of in this segment.
No other phone around Rs. 16,000 in Nepal comes close to this kind of futureproofing. Most brands barely offer one Android upgrade. If long-term usage, security, and updates matter to you, this is where Samsung flexes its muscle.
Conclusion
Samsung has finally delivered a budget phone that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The Galaxy A07 stands out not just as Samsung’s cheapest phone, but arguably the best value-for-money device under Rs. 20,000 in Nepal right now.
You’re getting:
-
A reliable design with IP54 protection
-
A smoother 90Hz display
-
A massive performance jump with the Helio G99
-
Expandable storage up to 2TB
-
A charger in the box
-
And most impressively, six years of software updates
In a market flooded with compromises, the A07 manages to tick more boxes than expected , and that’s what makes it so compelling.
If you’ve been waiting to buy a reliable, long-lasting phone on a budget, you don’t have to wait anymore. The Galaxy A07 is here, and it’s well worth your money.
