It seems like Samsung is coming up with a new series of smartphones, only this time, it will start with the alphabet C, and it might feature thin metallic bodies. The first in the line is rumoured to be the Samsung Galaxy C5, with the model number SM-C5000 that was recently spotted on Geekbench along with some of its specifications.

In the near future, we should be able to expect a new phablet phone by Xiaomi with a screen size of 6.4 inches that may be named the Xiaomi Max. Before this, Xiaomi ran an online voting poll asking the Xiaomi community to vote on which name they would prefer for Xiaomi's next phone, and of course the Xiaomi Max ended up receiving the most votes. Now returning to today's topic, leaked photos of the Xiaomi Max front panel were scattered all over tech blogs yesterday.

The front panel features a massive 6.4-inch display, capacitive buttons at the bottom and compact side bezels. A physical home button is nowhere to be found, and that means if there is going to be a fingerprint scanner it might be made available at the back like the Redmi Note 3.
