There are leaks, rumors, and even a suspected Beta version review of the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 that has been circulating in the internet. According to unconfirmed reports, the new phone will be released to the market very soon and it a curved screen.

Galaxy A5 2017 Gets Curved Display?

The lower-cost Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 version is rumored to have curved screen, CNET reported. Samsung is the only phone developer that sells mobile devices with wraparound displays designs, making that feature an edge over competitors in the market.

Samsung's Galaxy A line products are lower-cost phones that have midrange specs, unlike the more impressive features of S7 Edge and Galaxy S7. If the new Galaxy A5 2017 will really have curved edges, then it would mean that Samsung will bring this feature to the rest of its midrange mobile phones. This means the coming Galaxy S8 is most likely going to have curved edges as well.

More Specs leaked Online

The new 2017 version of the Samsung Galaxy A5 will have a 5.2-inch display with Full HD panel and a Gorilla glass 4 on top, GSMArena reported. The display will have Samsung's iconic Super AMOLED technology. There are no new leaks yet revealing what chipset the new device will use. Based on past leaks it will have the Exynos 7870, or its updated version called Exynos 7880.

When it comes to battery life, there are reports claiming that it will have the 14nm process, which is very efficient and could bring longer battery life for its 3,000 mAH pack. It has 16MP shooters for its camera that comes with an F/1.9 aperture. It will have those features for its front and back camera.

It will also have a USB Type-C connector and Dual SIM support. It is also reported to have a certain level of water resistance.
