Here's the latest update about Samsung Galaxy C5 and C7 release date, specs and price

As of now, Samsung is tight-lipped about the specific launch date of the Galaxy C5 and Galaxy C7. However, a report from Sam Mobile claims the devices will be announced on May 26 in China. Also, Chinese telecom equipment certification authority TENAA reportedly approved the Galaxy C5 with model number SM-C5000, hinting device's launching will happen very soon.

Based on new leaked image, the forthcoming Galaxy C-series handsets have a metal unibody design with antenna bands. Also, the front panel of the devices sports a home button, where the fingerprint scanner might be placed. The Samsung logo is also imprinted on the front and rear panels of the handsets.

As for the prices, the Galaxy C5 could be priced around $335 for 32 GB model and $370 for the 64 GB model. The Galaxy C7 could come with a price tag of about $400 for the 32 GB variant and $430 for the 64 GB variant.

The latest leaked prices of the Galaxy C-series contradict the previously reported prices of the two devices. The latest rumored price is much higher, and both devices cost more than the recently released Galaxy J5 (2016) and Galaxy J7 (2016).

Both devices are available with 16MP rear camera with f/1.9 aperture and 8MP front snapper. Users can also have concert-like listening experience, thanks to Ultra High-Quality Audio (UHQA).

Furthermore, the two handsets have pre-installed Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Google's latest firmware.  Android Marshmallow offers updated security system, innovative apps, and smooth user interface.
