Samsung Galaxy C7: big brother of Galaxy C5 ?

Samsung has just presented its new smartphones: the Samsung Galaxy C5 and the Samsung Galaxy C7. Their names sound strange, right? Yup, because this is a whole new brand of Samsung: the Galaxy C series. This mid-range C lineup started with the couple C5 and C7. These two new phones own metallic unibodies. The designs of this couple are half strange half similar. The fronts of the phones still have the usual looks, while the backs have similarities with the HTC One A9. They will come in with different colors: Rose, Rose Gold, Silver, and Grey.

The Samsung Galaxy C7 specs and Samsung Galaxy C5 specs have a lot in common. They both run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and Snapdragon chipsets. They have the same connectivity and I/O features, same RAM (4GB). Both come with 32GB/64GB internal storage and the ability to expand the inbuilt storage up to 128GB by microSD cards. In terms of camera, you will find a 16MP primary camera with dual-tone LED flash, and 8MP front-facing shooter on both of them. These siblings also have a home button embedded fingerprint sensor on the front.

For the other specs, the C7 seems to be a little better than the C5. The C7 is powered by Snapdragon 625 SoC with octa-core and Adreno 506 GPU. Under the hood of C5 is the Snapdragon 617 octa-core chipset with Adreno 405 GPU. The “brother” C7  features a 5.7 -inch AMOLED full HD display and 3,300mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. While the C5 has a smaller screen with 5.2-inch AMOLED display (1920 x 1080p resolution) and supports 2,600mAh battery life with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.
