In Malaysia, where the A (2017) lineup will be announced on January 5, the A5 (2017) and A7 (2017) will be priced at RM1,699 and RM1,899, which equate to around $378 and $424. Those are pretty impressive prices for the features we're expecting to see on the 2017 editions of Samsung's Galaxy A devices, such as 16-megapixel front cameras and a water resistant design. Samsung Malaysia will also be offering a free Level U Pro wireless headphone for those who pre-order the devices between January 6th and January 15th, and it is likely the handsets will go on sale soon after the final pre-order date.
Firmware for the Galaxy A5 (2017) recently became available on Samsung's (and our) servers, and we are now seeing a few Asian firmware for the Galaxy A7 (2017) making their way online as well. Over at Samsung Russia's website, the user manual for all three A (2017) devices is already available for download, so it sure looks like the Korean giant isn't trying too hard to keep its newest mid-range smartphone under wraps.
