Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) passes through FCC, might be announced soon

It appears that Samsung might soon announce the Galaxy J5 (2017) for the US market. The smartphone, which received Wi-Fi certification three months ago, was spotted on GFXBench and its pictures were leaked a couple of weeks ago. Three variants of this smartphone – SM-J530GM, SM-530YM/DS, and SM-J530GM/DS – have cleared FCC certification. The device will likely run Android 7.0 out of the box.

The Galaxy J5 (2017) is expected to feature a 5.2-inch HD Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 7870 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, a 13-megapixel primary camera, and a 5-megapixel secondary camera. The Galaxy J5 (2016) was announced in April last year, so it seems plausible that we might soon see the Galaxy J5 (2017) announcement from Samsung.
