Samsung is expected to release a series of handsets from its A-line of products, and one of them is the Galaxy A5 (2017). The South Korean technology giant is not willing to reveal the details of its upcoming mid-range device but its launch is imminent as it has received Bluetooth certification.
The Galaxy A5 (2017) got cleared by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) a few days after WiFi Alliance (WFA) certified both the single SIM and dual-SIM models (SM-A520F and SM-A520F/DS). The 2016 version was released in December last year, so its successor is also expected to be launched at around the same time.
