Im planning to buy A7 (2018). What's you suggestions? Should I go for it?

Don't buy it.

EDIT (Reason):

The updates will slow down the device. On Oreo, it scored 120000+ on Antutu... now on Pie, it scores 80000+ only. Geekbench scores too went down from ~4500 to ~3500. Search for 'A7 2018' in the community forum, you'll realize this device is full of problems that even cheap Redmi phones don't have. The camera is marketed very well. But the images look great only when you look at them as a whole. Try to zoom in any clicked image on the A7 2018 and you'll see everything blurred/noisy/pixelated. The updates are full of issues (Jan-Feb update created Volte problem, march-april One UI update was full of bugs & crashes, May update has ruined Bluetooth for many). Samsung releases new phone models every few months, the only reason they do so is because their updates for older devices make these phones slower and people eventually end up buying a new phone in a year or two (even if they wouldn't have the need to).

iam saying this from my experience for your good.
a7 2018 undergone a major update which means samsung degraded it's overall performance. and even you will pay premium just because it's samsung.
even cheaper mobiles in other companies are so good and this user interface is fluid and they are equipped with powerful processors. (good gaming experience) and photos taken in samsung phones looks like painting. even mi note 7 pro is better than s10. check all this by yourself...

I suggest you to wait for m40 and then decide which phone to buy.
