Samsung is about to launch yet another Galaxy C Pro smartphone, but this time the new device might be available in more countries. After introducing the Galaxy C7 Pro and Galaxy C9 Pro in China, Samsung is now expected to release the Galaxy C5 Pro globally.

The Chinese version of the Galaxy C5 Pro was spotted last year at Wi-Fi Alliance with model number SM-C5010. Earlier this week, another variant of the unannounced smartphone was spotted at the same regulatory commission, but with a different model number: SM-C501X.

Since the Galaxy C5 Pro with model number SM-C5010 has been specifically designed for the Chinese market, it's pretty clear that it won't be launched in other countries. However, the one with model number SM-C501X could very well be the international version of the Galaxy C5 Pro.

Even though Samsung has already started to expand the availability of the Galaxy C7 Pro and Galaxy C9 Pro to additional countries, we're not convinced they will be released in the United States.

The Galaxy C5 Pro has already received its certifications from TENAA and FCC (Federal Communications Commission), so the next logical step would be for Samsung to announce the smartphone.

The latest information we have about the Galaxy C5 Pro indicates the smartphone will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, coupled with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory.

Also, the smartphone will pack a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera and a secondary 16-megapixel camera in the front. The phone is likely to ship with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, but we don't rule out a possible Android 7.0 Nougat update soon afterward.

There are no additional details on the Galaxy C5 Pro, but we believe the smartphone will be initially introduced in China. Hopefully, the international variant will be made available in other countries soon after that.
