Samsung introduced its new Galaxy A-series of smartphones including the Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5, and Galaxy A7 late last year, and early this year. The highlights of the smartphones were their metal bodies - the first from Samsung after the Galaxy Alpha. The South Korean firm now appears to be working on the successors of the A-series smartphones, as tipped by benchmark listings.

Two new Samsung handsets dubbed SM-A310 (possibly the Galaxy A3 successor) and the SM-A710 (possibly Galaxy A7 successor) have been spotted at the GFXBench benchmark test.

Under the hood, the handset is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 3GB of RAM. The handset is listed to pack the same inbuilt storage and camera modules as the SM-A310.
