Samsung’s never one to settle on selling a couple of phones, when it could pile dozens of them up on store shelves. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have reportedly been successful, and rumors are gathering the latest flagships may be joined by revamped mid-range devices, which replace the S with a C in the model names. Here’s what we think we know about Samsung’s C-series smartphones so far.
Metal body phones
The Galaxy C-series phones are potentially going to replace Samsung’s A-series hardware, and as such, may mix metal and glass to give a premium finish. SamMobile China‘s exclusive on the C Series revealed that the phones may have thin profiles and an all-metal design.
In fact, a new leak from French site NoWhereElse highlights this new metal body design, showing that the device seems to take some design cues from HTC’s One series of phones, as well as from the more recent iPhone 6. In the leak we can see a fairly large camera module, as well as a dual-tone flash for that camera. This leak also seemingly confirms the benchmark leaks we’ve already seen, as it has the same “SM-C5000” model number.
