Metal Shell Chassis of Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 Smartphone hints at a Slimmer Design

Earlier we had reported that Samsung would continue to update the Galaxy A series of the device in 2017 as well, and we will have all the three devices. We also had a brief look at some of the specs of the Galaxy A5 (2017), which was spotted on a benchmark website. And today, we have some more info about the device or rather you can say some interesting leaks. These alleged photos of the Galaxy A5 show us a pretty slim design when compared to the current variants that we have in the market.

As a matter of fact, this doesn’t come as a surprise since these devices were more on the premium side and this was very much expected. However, we can’t talk much about the design here, since we only have the shell and there’s only so much that you figure out about the device through that. But now that we have started seeing all these leaked images, we can expect more details about the device in coming weeks. So stay tuned for more detailed info in future.

Earlier: Samsung updated the Galaxy A series line up of devices and according to the reports, these devices are due for an update this year as well shortly. If you didn’t know already, these are the mid-ranged handset lineup from the company. They were updated last year with some new interesting features such a fingerprint scanner etc.
