Galaxy C8 должен стать 3-м смартфоном от Samsung, оснащённым двойной камерой

Samsung начал активно продвигать смартфоны с новомодными двойными камерами.
"Первой ласточкой" станет флагманский Galaxy Note 8, розничные продажи которого стартуют через пару недель, за ним последует относительно недорогой Galaxy J7+. На днях стало известно, что двойной камерный модуль появится и в линейке Galaxy C, а именно в модели Galaxy C8 (хотя маркировка SM-C7100 должна, по идее, соответствовать Galaxy C7).
Но как показывают утекшие в Сеть рекламные изображения, новая модель позиционируется именно как C8.
Если эту информацю принять за основу, то база TENAA указывает, что смартфон получит 5,5 дюймовый AMOLED-дисплей с разрешением Full HD, 8-ядерную платформу (скорее всего MediaTek Helio P20), 3 или 4Гб ОЗУ, 32 или 64 Гб флэш-памяти. Сдвоенная камера должна комплектоваться сенсорными модулями разрешением 13 и 5 Мп, фронтальная - 16Мп. Ёмкость аккумулятора должна составить 3000 мА·ч.

Samsung Galaxy C8 Leak

Even though Samsung has been doing its best in order to keep Galaxy C8 hidden so that it can use the element of surprise when it finally decides to launch it, the smartphone was still leaked by a Chinese online retailer. Moreover, Galaxy C8 appeared under the “SM-C7100” build number. In addition, Samsung’s upcoming device is said to feature high-end specs and an affordable price at the same time. However, things get better now since an official press render and the smartphone’s launch date have been leaked on Weibo, the Chinese version of Reddit.

Leaked Launch Date and Press Render

Right off the bat, the most important piece of information that this recent Weibo leak unveils is the fact that Galaxy C8 will be launched on September 7th. The smartphone’s launch date seems to be a jab that’s thrown directly at Apple since iPhone 8 is scheduled to come out on September 12th. However, this is certainly not the case since Galaxy C8 and iPhone 8 don’t fit in the same category.
As previously mentioned, Galaxy C8 is said to be affordable and premium at the same time. Even though the words premium and affordable don’t usually match together, it seems like Samsung managed to find a way to do it. The leaked press render shows us that Galaxy C8 will ship with a standard Samsung design and that it will lack a rear mounted finger print sensor and Infinity display. The reason why Samsung decided to use this type of design is because it had to compromise on key design features in order to still be able to equip it with high-end hardware specs.

Premium Hardware Specs

While features such as a dual camera setup and fingerprint sensor are nice to have, high-end hardware parts are what make a smartphone fit in the premium category. The smartphone will feature an octa-core processor that’s been clocked at 2.3GHz and which is also coupled with 3GB or 4GB of RAM. Moreover, Galaxy C8 will also sport 32GB or 64GB of expandable storage space.
