    Upcoming Galaxy A5 sequel (SM-A510F) gets Bluetooth SIG certification

    Earlier this week, successors to the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A7 had their specifications revealed thanks to their appearance on the GFXBench benchmark. The Galaxy A5 is also set to get an upgrade along with the A3 and A7; it's not listed on GFXBench yet, but it has just passed certification from Bluetooth SIG, clearing an important step every new smartphone has to take before making an official appearance.

    The Bluetooh SIG has certified the SM-A510F only two days ago, but unfortunately we don't get any information on the A5's hardware. A listing on the import tracking site Zauba had mentioned a 5.2-inch display, which is slightly larger than the 5-inch display on the original A5 (the new A3 also has a larger screen than the previous A3, and also a higher display resolution.) Other specs are unknown at this point, but it shouldn't be long before the fog lifts and we get all the juicy details.
