Mere hours ago the upcoming Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro
was spotted on GFXBench, after having been leaked and rumored for many weeks
now. This smartphone, along with the also yet-unannounced C7 Pro, should be
joining the already official C9 Pro in the Korean company's portfolio at some
point this month.
Today a new leak purportedly brings us the first
ever live shot of the Galaxy C5 Pro, shown below for your viewing pleasure in
its blue hue.
The huge levels of pixelation in the picture are
there to protect the source, we assume, as smartphone makers rarely like it
when such images are put out in the wild. Anyway, alongside it we also get
rumored pricing for this model. It should retail (with 64GB of storage) for CNY
2,399, or approximately US$ 346 or € 329 at the current exchange rates.
On the other hand, the 64GB Galaxy C7 Pro is said to
be priced at CNY 2,799 (US$ 404 or € 383). Obviously, even if true, these prices
are only valid for China. It remains to be seen whether Samsung will be selling
these handsets outside of China, since the C Pro line seems to have been
designed and engineered with only that market in mind.
The C5 Pro should come with a 5.2" or 5.5"
1080p touchscreen, the Snapdragon 626 chipset, 4GB of RAM, a pair of 16 MP
cameras (one on the front, one on the back), and a 3,000 mAh battery. It runs
Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The C7 Pro has a 5.7-inch 1080p display, and pretty
much shares the rest of the specs with its smaller sibling (save for the
battery capacity, which should be different of course).
