Following months of rumours and leaks, Samsung has finally announced the premium mid-range lineup Galaxy A. The lineup consists out of the Galaxy A7 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A3 (2017) and was expected to make its official debut on January 5.

The upgraded lineup comes with metal unibody that also has IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, along with fingerprint scanners in their home button. All three phones run Android 6.0 Marshmallow, support Samsung Pay, LTE connectivity and have USB Type-C port. The biggest improvement over the last-gen lineup is the addition of 16 MP cameras (Galaxy A5 and A7). There is no word on pricing or availability.
