As per previous rumours, Samsung Malaysia have officially confirmed that their upcoming Samsung Galaxy A 2017 series will not only be the first IP68 water resistant and dust resistant midrange Samsung phones but they will also be priced from RM1699.

Both will be available on pre-order from 10.00 AM 6 January 2017 until 15 January 2016. For those who pre-order you will get a Samsung Level U Pro wireless headphone FREE (worth RM399, while stocks last).

Malaysia may be the first country to receive the new Samsung Galaxy A series in the world, if this invite that we received from them iss any indication. This invitation shows that we will be experiencing the new A-series smartphone as it is launching here in Kuala Lumpur on the 5th of January.

Our regular leakster Mr. Anonymous is back, this time with more complete tech specs of the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and Samsung Galaxy A7 (2017) in Malaysia. According to him, the two phones will be water resistant, featuring IP68 certification, rubber sealing, capless ports and trays. They will also support Samsung Pay, indicating that they will either have NFC or MST or both. The "selfish" bits probably refer to a front facing flash and floating camera button for selfie takers while the colours of black, gold, blue and peach certainly sound interesting.
