As tipped by two Vietnamese websites (via GSMArena), the front-facing camera on the alleged Galaxy Grand Prime will be a 5-megapixel offering, which is an improvement over the Galaxy Grand 2 and Galaxy Grand with their 1.9-meagpixel and 2-megapixel offerings, although the 8-megapixel rear camera is claimed to remain the same. It is expected to be priced at $236 (roughly Rs. 14,400).

Other purported specifications tipped for the alleged Galaxy Grand Prime include a 5-inch qHD (540x960 pixels) display; 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 SoC; 1GB of RAM; 8GB Internal storage with microSD (up to 64GB); 144x72x8.6mm dimensions; 2600mAh battery, and Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
On the other hand, Samsung's rumoured to launch the metal-clad SM-A500 first in the alleged new A series, with the other two - SM-A300 and SM-A700 - set to follow later. A Sammobile report on Tuesday suggests that Samsung "is currently making some changes to both the hardware and software" of SM-A500 and it might support the latest TouchWiz UI from Galaxy Note 4 and a 13-megapixel camera. Earlier, Sammobile had tipped it to include a 8-megapixel rear camera.
The report also tips the alleged SM-A500 to feature a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) Super AMOLED display; a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor; 5-megapixel front camera; 16GB of inbuilt storage, and a 2330mAh battery. The report also claimed that the SM-A500 will have a hybrid card slot, which will accommodate both a microSD card and a Nano-SIM card. Additionally, the smartphone was reported to come with a fingerprint and heart rate sensors, but not be dust or water-resistant. However, it is said to feature a version of the Ultra Power Saving Mode seen on the Galaxy S5 (Review | Pictures).Catch the latest from the Consumer Electronics Show on Gadgets 360, at our CES 2026 hub.
