Samsung Galaxy A5 Makes The FCC Stop

You might have heard about the Samsung Galaxy Alpha by now, its a new device that the company has launched recently and its main selling point is the fact that its partially made out of metal, a material that’s not commonly found in Samsung smartphones. It was reported soon after the launch that Samsung had three more metal based devices up its sleeve and the Galaxy A5 is said to be one of them. There have already been many leaks related to these devices and now the Galaxy A5 has been seen making the customary stop at the FCC.

The FCC listing reveals that Samsung Galaxy A5 is going to have support for 4G LTE. It particularly shows support for LTE-FDD Band 5 on which US Cellular’s LTE network operates.

Rumor has it that all three devices, namely Galaxy A3, A5 and A7, will have LTE support although their specifications may differ since they’ll be meant for the low-end, mid-range and high-end segment of the market respectively.

As far as the Galaxy A5 is concerned it is rumored to have a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 16GB internal storage, 5 megapixel front and 13 megapixel rear camera, Android 4.4.4 KitKat as well as a 2,330mAh battery.

The official announcement is expected to take place in the coming weeks. At launch the Galaxy A5 will reportedly cost between $400-$450 off contract.
