Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) renders, specs and pricing leak
The Galaxy A5 (2017) – and the rest of the Galaxy A (2017) lineup – should go official any day now, as the device’s firmware are now available online and it will be soon more than a year since the Galaxy A (2016) devices were announced. A previous leak had revealed that the phone would be launched in four colors, and today we’re getting a look at what the A5 (2017) will look like with those paint jobs, in addition to its hardware specifications and pricing.
Samsung is bringing the Blue Coral and Pink Gold colors seen on its flagships to the mid-range with the A (2017) series; black and gold variants are also present, although we’re guessing the Blue Coral version will see the highest demand. Today’s leak also mentions the phone’s specs – a 5.2-inch Full HD display, octa-core Exynos 7880 processor clocked at 1.9 GHz, 3GB of RAM, 16-megapixel rear and front cameras, 32GB of internal storage, and a 3,000 mAh battery. The software version isn’t mentioned, but the A (2017) devices will launch with Android 6.0 Marshmallow in all likelihood.
The Galaxy A5 (2017) will reportedly be priced at around 2,699 Yuan ($390). China should be the first market to get the new Galaxy A smartphones going by the series’ history, although there’s still no word on when the official launch will take place.
What do you make of Samsung’s new Galaxy A lineup?

Clarification – unlike previous claims, Exynos 7880 is something much different we thouight it was. It has 8 A53 cores and Mali-T830MP3 GPU. It’s a Snapdragon 625 competitor but with better GPU.
Prefer the current a series design with the rectangular shape. Pill shape is to much like the S series which I guess is their intention now the a flagships are curved screens only.
Also USB Type-C Which S7 Users Dont Have,And The Front 16MP Camera,It May Be The Best Selfie Phone From Samsung,Even Better Than The S7,With Also IP68 Certification It Will Kill All The Other Mid Range Phones Out There In The Market (Non-Samsung Phones)

Better processor than 2016 model.. 3gb ram.. new look. Great job samsung.
What is the relevance of the ‘S’ range now? The A5 has spec in some places that’s better than the S7. 16mp Camera? 5.2′ display?
Camera quality can’t be measured in resolution and s7 have 5.1″ qhd displey. How can you say display on a5 is better only because it’s 0.1″ larger.
If rumours are true and the S flagships will now adopt curved screens. The A series will be the flay alternative hence why the design language is the same as the s7 and brings over allot of features that rival(or better) the s7.
More doesn’t mean better. I’m pretty sure S7 will still take better pictures.
For the people who don’t want the edges of the S8s, you’ll have these. I think that’s Samsung’s play.
