The all-metal Samsung Galaxy C5 arrives in China and it's powered by a Snapdragon 617

Samsung has just announced the Samsung Galaxy C5 in China. The device will go on sale in China on June 6 and local Chinese stores are already accepting pre-orders. At just 6.7mm thick, the C5 is certainly among the slimmest devices around. It boasts of a 5.2 inch Super AMOLED screen at Full HD. You get a 16MP f/1.9 rear camera and surprisingly, an 8MP f/1.9 unit on the front. The chipset is based on the Snapdragon 617, which is an 8-core CPU paired with an Adreno 305 GPU and running at 1.5GHz. You get 4GB of RAM and a choice of 32GB or 64GB internal storage. You can throw in a memory card to expand the storage by up to another 128GB. The phone supports dual-SIMs, but if you use a memory card, you’ll use up the SIM 2 slot. Rounding off the specifications are WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC and a 2,600mAh battery. The device only supports a micro USB slot though. The home button doubles as a fingerprint sensor. As far as we can tell, the devices will be available in gold, rose gold, white and black for a start. The 32GB model will retail for $335 (around Rs 22,000) and the 64GB one for $370 (around Rs 25,000) in China. There is no word yet on an India release date or price.
