Samsung has come up with two new mid-rangers, dubbed as the Galaxy C5 and C7. The C series is a new brand by Samsung, with the Galaxy C5 being smaller in comparison to the C7. Both the devices feature all-metal chassis and decent specifications. Samsung unveiled the latest C-series smartphones at an event held in China.
The Galaxy C5 will retail at $330 (approximately Rs. 22,097) while the Galaxy C7 will cost you $396 (approximately Rs. 26,449). However, Samsung has not yet revealed whether it will launch these devices in other regions outside of China. But there are fair chances for a global launch by next month.
The Galaxy C5 and C7 both run Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and are integrated with a fingerprint scanner. Both the devices will be available in Gold, Pink-gold, Silver, and Grey color options. The Galaxy C7 is a premium version of the C5 — but both the devices feature the same storage capacity, camera, and RAM. To simplify, the Galaxy C7 comes with a slightly faster chipset and a bigger screen and battery. Going by the outlook, the design of both the smartphone looks a lot like iPhone 6s.
