Samsung has gone official with its mid-range Galaxy C9 Pro smartphone in India. The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is the company’s first smartphone with 6GB of RAM and was launched in China back in October 2016.

Basically, the specifications and design are consistent with the one released in China but the price tags differ slightly. The Galaxy C9 Pro arrived in Chian with a 3,199 yuan price tag (around Rs. 31,700, $470) but in India the smartphone starts at RS 36,900. The device will become available for pre-order or reservations from January 27 via select stores and online e-commerce websites. While it will be available for purchase towards the end of February 2017.

To refresh our memories, the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro features a 6-inch 1080p AMOLED display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor accompanied by 6GB of RAM. The smartphone also comes with 64GB of internal memory which can be expanded further via microSD slot. The C9 Pro sports a 16MP rear camera  as well as a 16MP sensor up front which both promise better picture qualities. It is a dual SIM phone with support for 4G LTE connectivity. The Galaxy C9 pro also runs TouchWiz UI based on Android Marshmallow OS. Other features include a 4,000mAh battery with fast charge support, a front-mounted fingerprint sensor and USB Type-C data and charging port.

The Samsung Galaxy C series has hitherto been a China-only series until lately when Samsung seems to have concluded plans to open up the C-series smartphones to the international market. The Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro is the latest of the C-series devices and was launched in China recently, available in Gold and Pink Gold versions.

However, a new Matte black version of the Galaxy C9 Pro has been spotted online. The smartphone is likely to get an international roll out very soon and perhaps we’ll get to see that all new color variants soon. The render shows just the rear view of the C9 Pro and it shows the antenna band fusing very well to the all-metal body, giving it a feel of oneness.

As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro sports a 6-inch 1080p Super AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 653 SoC, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. Its camera setup consists of a 16MP, f/1.9 main shooter and another 16MP one on the front. It is a dual-SIM device, boots Android 6.0 Marshmallow and is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery.

Since the Galaxy C9 Pro only came in Gold and Pink Gold colors, it could be said to be targeted at females but if really there is a black color version coming, it would be a version soothed for men. It is not known when the black version would be released as of now.

Samsung launched the Galaxy C Series back in the middle of the year as a sort of high mid-range line for the Asian market. The Samsung C5 and C7 were the first devices under the new line which has gone ahead to include the company’s first 6GB RAM phone, the C9 Pro. Today we have learnt that the company wants to add the Galaxy C5 Pro and Galaxy C7 Pro to the mix.

The original Galaxy C5 and C7 both come with the same RAM (4GB) and ROM variants (32GB and 64GB). They also share the same camera specifications, band support, and HiFi audio technology. Where they differ is in the screen department: 5.2” for the C5 against 5.7” for the C7; the processor: a snapdragon 617 chip for the C5 and a Snapdragon 625 for the C7; and battery capacity: 2600mAh for the C5 and 3300mAh for the C7.

The C5 Pro and C7 Pro which were expected to launch this month have now been pushed to January and will be getting a chip upgrade in form of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor. They will also get a new 16MP camera with a f/1.7 aperture. Rumor also has it that the RAM might be bumped up to 6GB.

Both the Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro and C7 Pro will remain China exclusives and might be priced closely to the C9 Pro which sells for ¥3199 (~$470) presently. So much for mid-range, right?
