Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro release news update: preorders available now; more details revealed

The Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro is finally coming after several speculations about its release date and features. The handset has been listed in the company's Chinese website, stating that the device is ready for preorder.

Preorders have just started yesterday, January 16, alongside the Galaxy C9 and Galaxy C5 Pro. Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro has been rumored for several months, but its specs have been somewhat confirmed when a benchmark leak circulated through the internet.

According to the AnTuTu benchmarking site, the official specs of Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro includes a 5.7-inch display with 1,080-pixel resolution. It also has super active matrix organic light-emitting diode (Super AMOLED) display and has Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow running on its system. All these are coupled by a Snapdragon 625 system on chip (SoC) with 2.2GHz octa-core and a 4 GB of random-access memory (RAM).

The camera of the Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro is seen to be capable of shooting 16-megapixel images, both in the rear and at the front. The cameras are each equipped with a sensor and f/1.9 aperture. This means both cameras have the capability of recording high-definition videos at 30fps. Aside from these, the device also boasts 64 GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded up to 256 GB through a microSD slot. A second SIM is also available and can carry microSD or nano-SIM.

Enthusiasts noticed that the Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro has been designed with a more attractive façade since its slotted antenna lines are located at the back. This is said to replace the criticized location of the white antenna lines found in other models.

"High performance means that the CPU runs at high power and high temperature. For this reason, at the same time as ensuring slim design, we also sought more effective device temperature control solutions," the product description translates, according to First Post.

"The Galaxy C7 Pro optimizes energy consumption of the processor, introducing better thermal efficiency through its heat pipe cooling system. Compared with the traditional temperatures of graphite cooling, a heat pipe cooling system — through the directional flow of liquid, and like a heat-absorbing, efficient radiator — is like giving your enthusiast computer an efficient water cooling radiator."
