Samsung Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 Spotted Alongside Galaxy Alpha

Adding to a long line of previous leaks and rumours, the anticipated Samsung Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 from the rumoured upcoming Galaxy A Series have once again appeared online - this time in 2 purported images. The Galaxy A5 is additionally seen benchmarked on GFX Bench.

The purported images of the Samsung Galaxy A3 (SM-A300) and Galaxy A5 (SM-A500) (via AndroidMX) showcase smartphones with metal chamfered edges and not full metal bezels like the Galaxy Alpha. Phonearena speculates the Galaxy A3 will feature a 4.7-inch display, compared alongside the Galaxy A5 and a Black colour variant of the Galaxy Alpha in the first of the 2 images.

The proposed Galaxy A3 handset is also tipped to come with an LTE variant and have its official introduction by the end of this year. The second purported image shows the right panel of the Galaxy A5, with the power button and SIM card slot visible.

According to a recent Tenaa certification website listing of the SM-A3000, thought to be the Galaxy A3, the handset features Android 4.4.4 KitKat; a 4.5-inch OLED qHD (540x960 pixels) display; 1GB of RAM; 8GB inbuilt storage; expandable storage support up to 64GB (via microSD card); an 8-megapixel rear camera; a 5-megapixel front camera; weight of 112 grams, and dimensions of 130.1x65.5x6.9mm.

As for the SM-A5000 or Galaxy A5, the smartphone according to the latest GFX Bench tests boasts of a 4.8-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display; Android 4.4.4 KitKat; quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410 processor (64-Bit); 2GB of RAM; Adreno 306 GPU; 13-megaixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front-facing camera; up to 16GB internal storage, and a 2300mAh battery.

Samsung is also tipped for a third smartphone in the Galaxy A-series family, the Galaxy A7, which was last month spotted in the Zauba listing, a website that tracks import-export manifests.

The yet-to-be-confirmed price ranges for all the three smartphones were also leaked earlier. While the Galaxy A7 is expected to be priced between $450 and $500 (roughly Rs. 24,500-30,500), the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 are said to fall under the $400 to $450 (roughly Rs. 24,500-27,500) and $350 and $400 (roughly Rs. 21,000-24,500) price brackets respectively.
