Samsung quietly announces the Galaxy C7 Pro in China

Samsung has quietly taken the wraps off the long-rumored Galaxy C7 Pro in China. The handset, which will be available in three colors — Arctic Blue, Maple Leaf Gold and Rose Pink — carries a price tag of 2,799 Yuan ($405) and is expected to be available to pre-order in the region later today, though that's unconfirmed at present.

With regards to specifications, the Galaxy C7 Pro sports a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 626 octa-core CPU, 4GB of RAM, 32/64GB of expandable internal storage, a 16MP front/rear-facing camera and a 3,300mAh battery. It'll also ship running Marshmallow, but is expected to receive the Nougat update.

In addition to exclusively revealing that Samsung was working on the Galaxy C7 Pro a little more than four months ago, we also announced that it was working on a more compact, mid-range variant, dubbed the Galaxy C5 Pro. Unfortunately, it's unclear when the smaller device will hit the shelves, but we're guessing it will be sooner rather than later.
