In a turn of events, the supposedly Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) that passed SIRIM earlier this month is apparently getting a name change. According to sources, the name will be called Galaxy J5 Pro instead and this could happen to both Galaxy J3 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017) too, as Galaxy J3 Pro and Galaxy J7 Pro.

Why we think the name change could happen is because the J5 Pro and Galaxy J5 (2017) share the same tech-specs. All three Galaxy J Pro models will have the same full metal design as seen in the cover image, and prices for each model were also leaked, which are RM 699 (J3 Pro), RM 1199 (J5 Pro), and RM 1399 (J7 Pro). Below is the list of confirmed tech-specs so far for each phone:
