Samsung Galaxy A 2017 teaser hints at water resistant design

Update : Samsung has officially confirmed that Galaxy A 2017 line up will launch on January 5, 2017 in Kuala Lampur

Following months of rumors and speculations, Samsung has finally confirmed that the 2017 edition Galaxy A line up is on the way.

The South Korean tech giant has released a teaser image that says "It all begins with A. Hold your breath", while highlighting the letter A  teasing the Galaxy A line up. The teaser image also reveals one of the key features of 2017 Galaxy A line up - IP67 certification for dust and water resistance.

The Galaxy A series brings the premium design of Samsung's Galaxy S series flagship at a budget by offering mid-range specs.  

The Galaxy A 2016 line up had a metal and glass design, almost similar to the flagship Galaxy S6. So we expect the Galaxy A 2017 edition design to be similar to Galaxy S7 which is also IP68 rated.

Samsung will most likely introduce 2017 edition of Galaxy A3, A5, A7 and A8 at CES 2017  in Las Vegas, which takes place between January 5 and January 8.
