Everyone is expecting that Samsung will release additional gadgets for the C series â€” the Galaxy C5 Pro and the Galaxy C7 Pro. Both gadgets are supposed to be launched by the end of the month, but the company may postpone the handsets' release to January 2017 instead.

The South Korean tech company may not release its Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro this month, according to the latest rumor. The South Korean giant has not been releasing any statement to clarify the rumor, but enthusiasts believe that both of the gadgets will be launched on January 2017, at least.

There is no official explanation about why the handsets have to be delayed, so everything has to be taken with a pinch of salt. The number of units Samsung is planning to release once the smartphones become available in the market is also still unknown. Several tech reports claim that the Galaxy C5 Pro and the Galaxy C7 Pro may only be released in China, as it was done with the handsets' predecessors.

Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor, coupled with 3 GB of random-access memory (RAM). It may also come with a 5.2-inch screen display.

The Galaxy C7 Pro, on the other hand, is believed to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor and a 4 GB of RAM, as seen on the AnTuTu benchmarking website.

The screen of the latter handset is seen at 5.7-inch with a 1,080 pixel resolution. It also comes with a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 64 GB of internal storage. It is also believed to have 3,300-milliampere-hour (mAh) battery.

Both handsets will possibly boast a metal-design shell, which is common with midrange handsets.

December will end in a two weeks and so enthusiasts will soon know if both Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro and Samsung Galaxy C7 will truly be released. For now, there is nothing to do but wait.
