Rumours: Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) renders spotted online

For a very long time now, most of Samsung's midrange smartphones were just a little bit better than their entry-level counterparts. The gap between a Samsung flagship and midranger was like heaven and earth with uninspired design and “just enough” features to differentiate from the entry-level. That started changing last year with the Galaxy J series and now here we are with the sleek Galaxy A 2017 series.

Not only does it offer a metal frame, sleek curved glass back much like the Galaxy S series, but the Galaxy A 2017 series also offer flagship features like IP68 water and dust resistances, fingerprint sensors, NFC, Samsung Pay support and 16MP front and back cameras. Is it the sleek Samsung all-rounder you've been waiting for? Find out in our full review of the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017.
