News about the new Galaxy A series that Samsung plans to launch soon has already been leaked numerous times in the last couple of weeks. We already know that there will be at least three new smartphones that Samsung plans to launch very soon: Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5, and Galaxy A7 2017.

Although we expect all three smartphones to be announced this month, we don't rule out an early 2017 reveal if Samsung doesn't have them ready yet.

We've already reported about the Galaxy A7 2017 a few days ago, as what appears to be an official table sheet leaked online. Today, a similar sheet that contains some specifications of the Galaxy A5 2017 was published before the official announcement.

The information detailed in the table comes in line with previous rumors about the Galaxy A5 2017, so those who had been following our news feed might find them familiar.

For example, we already know that the Galaxy A5 2017 is likely to sport a 5.2-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution, as well as Corning Gorilla Glass 4 coating for extra protection.

Although there's no mention of the chipset, previous reports claim the mid-range handset will be packed with an octa-core Exynos 7880 processor. The table also mentions the upcoming Galaxy A series phone will include 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory (expandable via microSD card).

Just like the Galaxy A7 2017, the Galaxy A5 will feature a water resistant design, fingerprint sensor and aluminum frame. Also, the phone will feature back cover glass, a USB Type-C port and dual-SIM support.

As for the camera inside the Galaxy A5 2017, the sheet confirms the smartphone should pack a 16-megapixel camera on the back with f/1.9 aperture, as well as a no less impressive 16-megapixel camera in the front.

Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 will be powered by a decent 3,000 mAh battery and is likely to run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow right out of the box.
