A Samsung model with number SM-C7100 and believed to
go by the name Galaxy C8 was recently spotted on Samsung China’s website. Samsung
had initially launched the Galaxy
C-series exclusively for China but later released the C9 Pro model for other
South East Asian markets. The Galaxy C8 will likely be Samsung’s first
mid-range smartphone with dual cameras, that is if it is launched before the
Galaxy J7+ that is also launched with dual cameras.
The Galaxy C8 was recently spotted on a promotional
material which confirms some features of the model. The promotional material
confirms that the C8 will come with dual cameras. The device is also shown to
come with a fingerprint sensor which will be embedded in the home button. The
dual cameras on the Galaxy C8 will likely be a combination of a 13MP main
sensor teaming up with a 5MP secondary camera, aligned in a vertical direction.
In addition, previous leaks had tipped the Samsung
Galaxy C8 as coming with a 5.5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display. The device
will be powered by a 2.3GHz octa-core processor with 3GB/4GB of RAM and
32GB/64GB of storage. It will likely feature a 2,850 mAh battery and run on
Android 7.1.1 Nougat.
Samsung had hinted that it would not only include
Bixby on its flagship but also on the mid-range phone and so, apart from the
Galaxy J7+ which is rumored to come with Bixby, the Galaxy C8 may also include
a basic version of Bixby. Samsung is yet to disclose when the Galaxy C8 will be
launched or if it would be available outside China.
