14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung is working on its new Galaxy Note 8 flagship smartphone, but until it arrives, the company is expected to announce the first Samsung smartphone with a dual-camera setup on the back. Specs and pricing for the yet unannounced Galaxy C10 seem to have surfaced online.
The Galaxy C10 and Galaxy C10 Plus should be officially announced soon and a recent report sheds light on the specs and prices that the two smartphones will feature. The Galaxy C10 will run Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 660 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM.
Samsung could actually use the Exynos 7872 if Snapdragon 660 isn’t ready for mass production in time for the launch. The list of specs also includes a 6-inch 1080p Super AMOELD display on the new phone, together with 64GB or 128GB of internal storage and a battery capacity of 4,000mAh.
Galaxy C10 will carry a price tag of about $515 in China
The Galaxy C10 could also be the first mid-range Samsung smartphone to feature a dedicated physical button for the recently released virtual assistant, Bixby. Moreover, it will be the first Samsung phone with a dual-camera setup on the back, consisting of wide-angle and telephone sensors.
The same camera setup could also be featured on the flagship Galaxy Note 8 smartphone, expected to arrive in August, at the earliest. The Galaxy C10 variant with 64GB of internal storage could carry a price tag of $515 in China. It’s unknown if the smartphone will be launched in other countries as well; that will be revealed when the phone is announced. Still, chances are that the Galaxy C10 and Galaxy C10 Plus won’t make it to the US or Europe.
Specs for the Galaxy C10 Plus are unknown at this point. The Galaxy C10 should run the latest Android Nougat version and the smartphone will have a physical button housing the fingerprint scanner, as opposed to the Galaxy Note 8 which will feature a new fingerprint sensor built underneath the display. The sensor was said to arrive on the Galaxy S8 earlier this year, but the technology wasn’t ready for mass production.
