Samsung seems to be on a roll with its dual rear camera smartphones. Less than two weeks after announcing the Galaxy Note8, it launched the Galaxy J7+, its second dual camera smartphone. Now it appears a third dual camera smartphone called the Galaxy C8 is on the way.

We first heard of the Galaxy C8 a short while ago when it was seen on the official website of Samsung China. That was followed by promotional images from a demo app and an appearance on TENAA confirming it will have dual cameras.

Official renders of the C8 were posted on Twitter earlier today by Roland Quandt who was also the source for the promotional images last week. These new images show us what to expect when the Galaxy C8 officially launches.

The Galaxy C8  shares a similar design to the Galaxy J7+. The cameras are positioned vertically with a LED flash below the setup. The body is all-metal with curved corners and antenna lines that run across.

Up in front is a fingerprint scanner that doubles as a home button with capacitive buttons flanking it on both sides. The Galaxy C8 also has a LED flash in front just like the Galaxy J7+. Some folks believe the Galaxy C8 and Galaxy J7+ are the same device but with different names for different markets.

While most of the specs may be similar, there might be some little differences. For example, the Galaxy J7+ launched with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage. However, TENAA lists the C8 will have two variants – 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM and 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM.

Samsung hasn’t announced a release date for the Galaxy C8 yet but with the frequent leaks in recent times, it may be close.

A Samsung model with number SM-C7100 and believed to go by the name Galaxy C8 was recently spotted on Samsung China’s website. Samsung had initially launched the  Galaxy C-series exclusively for China but later released the C9 Pro model for other South East Asian markets. The Galaxy C8 will likely be Samsung’s first mid-range smartphone with dual cameras, that is if it is launched before the Galaxy J7+ that is also launched with dual cameras.

The Galaxy C8 was recently spotted on a promotional material which confirms some features of the model. The promotional material confirms that the C8 will come with dual cameras. The device is also shown to come with a fingerprint sensor which will be embedded in the home button. The dual cameras on the Galaxy C8 will likely be a combination of a 13MP main sensor teaming up with a 5MP secondary camera, aligned in a vertical direction.

In addition, previous leaks had tipped the Samsung Galaxy C8 as coming with a 5.5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display. The device will be powered by a 2.3GHz octa-core processor with 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB of storage. It will likely feature a 2,850mAh battery and run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Samsung had hinted that it would not only include Bixby on its flagship but also on the mid-range phone and so, apart from the Galaxy J7+ which is rumored to come with Bixby, the Galaxy C8 may also include a basic version of Bixby. Samsung is yet to disclose when the Galaxy C8 will be launched or if it would be available outside China.
