The revelation comes a month after Chinese region-specific model SM-C5010 received a similar certificate, hinting that Samsung is laying the ground work for launching Galaxy C5 Pro worldwide.

It has to be noted that, up until December 2016, all the previous iterations of Galaxy C series were exclusively sold in China. It all changed last month, as Samsung, for the first time, introduced a new Galaxy C series phone -- Galaxy C9 Pro -- in India. Now, it looks like, the company wants to extend the Galaxy C series phones availability in more international markets.
