South Korean smartphone giant - Samsung has launched its coveted Galaxy C5 and Galaxy C7 in China and the devices are ready for pre-orders in the country as of now. C5 and C7 are expected to hit the Chinese smartphone stores from June 17 onwards.
While the release in China was done amidst much pomp & fare, there is no word about their release in the international market.
At first, reports from Samsung’s end had hinted about Galaxy C5 and C7 being made exclusive for China only. However, the latest buzz states that Samsung is looking towards a worldwide launch including India. The date is yet not finalized but the devices have started surfacing on various global websites which indicate about the international availability.
This is indeed a great piece of news for the elite smartphone lovers but the question is will C5 & C7 enjoy a good run in the Indian market, which is highly price conscious. As known, the 32GB model of Galaxy C5 costs 2199 Yuan which in Indian currency would be nearly Rs. 22,500 whereas the 34Gb is priced 2399 Yuan which is approximately Rs. 24,500. The C7 with 32GB model comes for 2599 Yuan i.e. Rs. 26,600 and its 64GB model is priced 2799 Yuan which is nearly Rs. 26,600.
What To Expect From C5 & C7 Release In India?
As we said, the release in Indian market is still under clouds of doubt. But if it does get released the cost would surely be Rs.20,000 plus where the two devices from Samsung will directly compete against the likes of more liked OnePlus 2, Xiaomi Mi 5 and LG Nexus 5X.
As far as the specifications are concerned then Samsung Galaxy C5 and Galaxy C7 stand substandard to quite a few of the smartphones which are in the Rs. 20,000-Rs. 25,000 range. This apparently makes their show in the market a bit doubtful.
Not just this, there are many mid-range phones available as well like the Moto G4 Plus, OnePlus X, Galaxy J5 (2016), Galaxy J7 (2017) that would give audiences a wide range of choice.
If we look at the specifications the two Samsung devices offer:
