This time it has got an all metal body design for a much more premium look and feel. It also features a Fingerprint sensor on the front which doubles up as a home button. It runs on Android Marshmallow (6.0) with Samung’s own Touchwiz UI on top. It packs a 3,300mAh battery and supports dual-SIM.

There is no word about official launch yet so it’s hard to comment on it’s global launch. It will be quite interesting in terms of pricing as it has got a pretty decent mid-range specification.
