Rumor: Galaxy A5 2017 looks very similar to Galaxy S7

The Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 would look strikingly like the Galaxy S7. That is what smartphone-like OnLeaks states on the basis of information obtained. He has made renders of the as yet unannounced Samsung device.

Although the 2017 A5 shares many design elements with the S7, such as the design with a rounded glass back and metal side, there are also some differences, writes Android Authority, which has published the renders. For example, the camera does not protrude from the back and there is no micro-USB port on the bottom, but a USB-C connection.

The smartphone would have a 5.2 “screen and have dimensions of 145x71x7.8 mm. This makes it slightly thicker than the current Galaxy A5 2016, which came out at the end of last year. The increased thickness will be the reason that the camera does not protrude. .

Samsung sees the Galaxy A series as a series of midrange smartphones with a focus on the use of more expensive materials. The first A-series has a metal housing, while the current, second A-line of phones has switched to a design reminiscent of the Galaxy S6.

The 2017 A5 may have an Exynos 7880-soc, with four Cortex A72 cores at 1.9GHz and four A53 cores at 1.3GHz, assisted by a Mali T860MP4 GPU from ARM. If Samsung keeps the schedule of the previous two A5s, the new variant will be on the market before the end of the year.
