Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Release Date, Leaks & Latest Rumors [VIDEO]
Vinay PatelThe internet is rife with reports and rumors surrounding the second-generation Galaxy A5 handset dubbed as the Galaxy A5 (2017), indicating that it will hit the store shelves in the coming weeks.
The Galaxy A5 (2016) successor's alleged hardware specs surfaced online via its listing on the Geekbench database earlier this year. The device has since been subjected to multiple leaks and an alleged beta unit review video. However, the purported device's hardware specs have leaked out again. This time, the leak comes from an Arabic source and simply echoes previous reports about the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017).
Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) Specs & Features
The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) will use a 5.2-inch, Full-HD panel with a robust Gorilla Glass 4 on top. As far as the display is concerned, Samsung is likely to make use of its trademark Super AMOLED technology, according to AndroidHeadlines. However, there is no word yet about the panel's form. The source hints a 2.5D finish, which basically alludes a small curve close to its glass edges. On the other hand, rumors are rife about a full-on double curved panel.
Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is likely to pack an Exynos 7870 or its updated version: the Exynos 7880. Either way, the adept 14nm process should be able to spawn a remarkable battery life for the projected 3,000 mAh pack, GSM Arena reported. Furthermore, the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is expected to boast 3GB of RAM paired with an expandable 32GB storage capacity. The camera department is also likely to feature a couple of 16MP shooters equipped with F/1.9 aperture --- one on the front and one on the rear.
The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) will be housed in an aluminum frame and come with a 3D glass back design, a USB Type-C connector, a fingerprint scanner, and some sort of water resistance certification. If Samsung sticks to its release pattern for the Galaxy A5, which was unveiled last December, the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) release date is likely to arrive in time for Christmas or early next year.
