Seriously, I get the A7, but what the hell does a 64bit do on mobiles?

Absolutely nothing without extra RAM.
You need 4 GB of RAM to take advantage of a 64bit system.
Seeing as no mobile phone has 4GB of RAM it's largely a marketing ploy.

I assume this is the new 64bit ARM. Will be interesting to see what they do with it.
Not long now, till a phone is just a tiny computer. Plug into your TV or a big monitor, add keyboard and your done.

Yeah your smartphone was severly limited by 4GB of ram before 64 bits came and saved the day...
Here is a question for Samsung. Do they plan on running Android on this new Galaxy? Cause as far as I know, Androids run-time library is 32 bit. LOLz.

nothing, just like Windows 32 or 64 it wouldn't make any different until you have more than 4 GB RAM.
32 is limited to 4 GB RAM ,and phones barely carry 2 GB RAM , so having a 64 bit processor is useless, that is until Phones reach Laptop speeds, a useless marketing gimmick just like every single "Feature" samsung makes.
There is a crowd that likes to get a new phone every year, so they all will buy it like water and samsung will print money again.
Just how it works.
