We first told you about Samsung's new Galaxy C series smartphones a couple of months ago and today the company has officially unveiled the Galaxy C5 (SM-C5000) in China. It's not like this is the first time we're seeing this device, we leaked official renders of the Galaxy C5 in all of its color options just yesterday. As expected, the handset has only been launched in China and it's unclear if Samsung is going to bring it to other markets as well.
