Wealth of inside information on Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro, C7 Pro and C9 Pro surfaces online

Samsung might be trying hard, and so far succeeding, in hindering substantial, believable, evidence-supported Galaxy S8 leaks, but when it comes to lower-end products, the chaebol probably doesn’t care as much.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t already know everything about the unreleased Galaxy C7 Pro and C5 Pro. And we do mean everything. The “professional” derivation of the 5.7-inch C7 launched last summer exclusively in China has been approved by Tenaa a while back, now further showing off its premium metallic body in a slew of hands-on pics.

This is of course virtually identical to the original C7 on the outside, whereas under the hood, it’s tipped to jump to an octa-core Snapdragon 626 processor. Full HD-capable, 4GB RAM-packing, and alas, Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow-running out the box, the C7 Pro will also upgrade the front camera to an impressive 16 megapixels, likely costing the rough equivalent of $405 in China with 64GB internal storage.

What’s truly remarkable is the humbler Galaxy C5 Pro should adopt a 16MP selfie shooter too, not to mention the same stunning aluminum unibody build, a sizable 3,000mAh battery, and decently sharp 5.5-inch 1080p display.

Last but not least, the crazy gifted 6GB RAM “mid-range” Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro, which has already made its commercial debut, is now setting the stage for a grand Asian tour, looking to expand across markets like India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Still no Korea? No Europe? No US? That’s just sad.

Tenaa certification reveals Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro front camera and battery upgrades

Samsung is apparently looking to outdo itself when it comes to mid-range smartphone confusion choice, prepping a Galaxy C7 Pro that’s awfully similar to the standard C7, skipping the C9 to jump straight to the C9 Pro, and now also working on an eerily familiar Galaxy C5 Pro, aka SM-C5010.

Approved by China’s FCC equivalent for a no doubt fast-approaching local launch, the 5.2-inch C5 Pro is a near-duplicate of the original Galaxy C5, model number SM-C5000, in terms of exterior design. But under the hood, you’ll find a souped-up 3,000mAh battery (compared to the C5’s 2,600mAh cell), leading to a small increase in device thickness.

Still, this purported C5 Pro is relatively lightweight, at 143 grams, and slender (6.95mm), with premium metal all over, a plentiful 4GB RAM in tow, as well as Android 6.0 Marshmallow (bummer!), expandable 64GB internal storage, Full HD AMOLED screen resolution, and a 16MP rear-facing camera.

Much like the C9 Pro, the non-flagship phone will cater to selfie addicts with a very impressive 16-megapixel front shooter too, possibly wrapping up its decent list of upgrades by taking a Snapdragon 626 processor in to replace the SD617. Let’s just hope pricing won’t go through the roof.

Samsung Galaxy C5 breaks cover in China with full metal jacket, 4GB RAM, Samsung Pay support

Does C stand for class? Color, maybe? China exclusivity? Cool cameras? We could try to guess all day, and if we were mean, we’d add “clone” to the list, since the newly announced Galaxy C5 in Beijing looks eerily similar to recent and semi-recent flagships from certain rival companies (cough, HTC, cough, Apple, cough), and almost nothing like Samsung’s own S7 or

Hey look, it’s the HTC-aping Samsung Galaxy C5 yet again

Internet backlash doesn’t appear to be changing Samsung’s mind when it comes to the controversial design of the upcoming Galaxy C5 “mid-ranger”, which continues to chug along towards a commercial launch in China, unlikely to be followed by one on the Western hemisphere.The phone is just too darn similar on the outside to HTC 10-preceding flagships, and it’s a little too powerful and evolved for a pricing sweet spot to be found.
