Samsung is finally going to make the Galaxy A (2017)
line of upper-midrange smartphones official next week, on January 5 to be
precise.
The Galaxy A5 (2017) should come with a 5.2-inch
1080p Super AMOLED touchscreen, a pair of 16 MP cameras (one on the front, one
on the back), the Exynos 7880 chipset (with a 1.8 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53
CPU), 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of expandable storage.
The Galaxy A3 (2017) will sport a
4.7-inch 720p Super AMOLED display, a 13 MP main camera, an 8 MP selfie
snapper, the Exynos 7870 SoC (with a 1.5 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU), 2GB of
RAM, and 16GB of expandable storage. We haven't seen this model a lot before
today, so here it is in press renders for your viewing pleasure.
The members of the new Galaxy A (2017) series might
be water-resistant, according to past rumors. Their overall design language is
clearly borrowed from the Galaxy S7, what with all those extra curves compared
to their predecessors. The new A phones will have metal frames too. The A3
(2017) and A5 (2017) are to become available in Western Europe in mid-January.
The smaller one should retail for € 379, while the bigger model will go for
€ 479. Four color versions will be offered for each: Black Sky, Gold Sand, Blue
Coral, and Peach Cloud (pink).
