The Samsung Galaxy On5 launched last year and now it looks like Samsung is getting ready to launch a new version of the handset.
The new 2016 Galaxy On5 recently appeared in the India Zauba import database with the model number SM-G5700, last year’s model came with the number SM-G550.
Upcoming Features and Specifications
Another device in the range, the Samsung Galaxy On7, recently appeared in the GFX Benchmarks, so it looks like Samsung is getting ready to launch two new handsets in the range. This suggests that Samsung is committed to updating its mid-range lineup with improved features and specifications.
As yet, there are no official specifications on the new Galaxy On5. However, it is expected to come with some specifications similar to the previous model, which included a 5-inch display. The previous Galaxy On5 was equipped with a 720p resolution, which provided decent clarity for everyday use. It also featured a quad-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and an 8-megapixel rear camera, which were quite competitive for its price range.
Potential Upgrades and Enhancements
Given the trends in smartphone upgrades, the new Galaxy On5 might see enhancements in several areas. For instance, the display could be upgraded to Full HD (1080p) to offer better visual clarity. The processor might also see an upgrade to a more powerful octa-core variant, which would significantly improve performance, especially for multitasking and running more demanding applications.
In terms of memory, an increase to 2GB or even 3GB of RAM could be expected, which would make the device more capable of handling multiple apps simultaneously without lag. Storage options might also be expanded, with the base model potentially starting at 16GB or 32GB, along with the option to expand via a microSD card.
Camera technology has advanced rapidly, so the new Galaxy On5 might feature a higher resolution rear camera, possibly 13 megapixels or more, along with improved low-light performance and additional features like HDR and panorama modes. The front camera could also see an upgrade to cater to the growing trend of selfies and video calls, possibly moving from 5 megapixels to 8 megapixels.
Battery life is another critical area where improvements could be made. The previous model had a 2600mAh battery, which was adequate but not exceptional. The new model might feature a larger battery, perhaps around 3000mAh, to ensure longer usage times between charges. Additionally, fast charging technology could be included to reduce the time needed to recharge the device.
Software-wise, the new Galaxy On5 is likely to come with the latest version of Android, possibly with Samsung’s custom UI layered on top. This would bring new features, improved security, and a more refined user experience.
As soon as we get more details about the handset and a comprehensive list of specifications, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for updates as Samsung prepares to unveil these new additions to their Galaxy lineup.
