Samsung is said to be updating its Galaxy A series soon, and thanks to the benchmark results, we now have a rough idea on what to expect.
The possible Galaxy A3 sequel sports a 4.7-inch 720 x 1280 touchscreen display, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space. Under the hood, there's Samsung's very own quad-core Exynos 7580 processor complete with the Mali-T720 GPU. The device is flanked by a 13-megapixel rear camera and a decent five-megapixel front-facing unit. Android 5.1.1 is its built-in OS.
Meanwhile, the rumored second-generation Galaxy A7 tows a bigger 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 screen, Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 615 SoC with the Adreno 405 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of storage space. SM-A710 has the same pre-installed OS and camera combo as SM-A310.
Just last week, Phone Arena reported of an SM-A310F and SM-A510F listed on India's import and export tracking website Zauba. The rumored Galaxy A3 sequel was listed as having a 4.7-inch display while the possible Galaxy A5 had a 5.2-inch display. The listing also indicated that both handsets originated from South Korea.
There hasn't been official word from Samsung regarding plans to update its Galaxy A series, but with the onset of these leaks, the devices might just be destined for an early 2016 release.
