The development of the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) has
been an open secret for many months now, ever since it was spotted in some
benchmarks and import listings back in August. The A5 (2017) has been
rumored to go on sale in European markets in mid-January.
Before that happens, let's take a look at
some newly leaked press renders of the Galaxy A5 (2017), portrayed in four
color versions - pink, black, blue, and gold.
The renders haven't been leaked by themselves. Attached has been a list of specs for the A5 (2017). The phone is
supposed to have a 5.2-inch 1080p touchscreen, a pair of 16 MP cameras (one on
the front, one on the back), Samsung's Exynos 7880 chipset (with a 1.9 GHz
octa-core CPU), 3GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
Its dimensions are said to be 145 x 71 x 7.8 mm.
Compared to its predecessor, the A5 (2016), the new
device keeps the screen size and resolution but improves upon every other
aspect - it has higher-res cameras, more RAM, more storage, a higher-clocked
processor, and a slightly larger battery.
The price in China is rumored as CNY 2,699, which
right now translates into approximately US$ 388 or € 371. Expect the EU recommended
retail price to be € 449.
