Samsung Galaxy C5 Specifications leaked

The Samsung Galaxy C5 and C7 could be two upcoming mid-range smartphones from Samsung and based on what we know so far, both of them are probably going to sport thin metal bodies. It is not really unusual for Samsung to make mid-range metal phones as we have already seen that trend with their Galaxy A8 and J series (2016 reboot versions). If the report from China is to be believed, then a Geekbench result has revealed much about the C5 (also dubbed SM-C500) before its official declaration.

On the processor side, the SM-C500 is going to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core CPU, coupled with 4GB of RAM. The MSM8952 SoC will also sport the Adreno 405 GPU to drive all the graphics intensive tasks with ease. The rumored Geekbench revelation also suggests that all this powerful hardware will be supported by the latest Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 right out of the box.

Some may point out the C5's similarity with the A5 (2016 version), but the hardware definitely seems more powerful on the C5. What remains to be seen is how Samsung prices the C-series due to their rumored elegant metal designs. We will find out more in May as that is when reports suggest the C-series would be released in China. There is no word on when this new line-up will hit markets outside China so far.
