Ahead of CES 2017, Samsung has unveiled its latest trio of Android devices with the Galaxy A series of smartphones.
The 5.7-inch Galaxy A7, 5.2-inch Galaxy A5 and the 4.7-inch Galaxy A3 smartphones are first heading to Russia in early-January and “will be expanded to global markets” at a later date. Unfortunately, there’s no indication if these devices will come to Canada, but there is a good chance they will given the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) was released by Rogers, Bell, Telus, Virgin, Koodo, Videotron, SaskTel and Fido for approximately $450 on a no-term.
The 2017 version of the Galaxy A is set to be available in Black Sky, Gold Sand, Blue Mist and Peach Cloud. The phone also features a similar metal frame and 3D glass back design found in the flagship Galaxy S7 smartphones. All the new Galaxy A series devices come with an improved camera, IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, USB Type-C connectivity, and Android 6.0.16 Marshmallow.
