Back in August, Samsung released its first full-frame metal clad handset — the Galaxy Alpha. This was followed by the unveiling of the Note 4 at IFA in September, which also features a metal frame for improved rigidity and in-hand feel. 

Now, it looks like the Korean giant is working on releasing some mid-range devices with a similar design aesthetics — the Galaxy A3, A5 and A7. The latter two handsets have already made quite a few appearances in blurry cam photos and videos signaling their impending launch.

Today, the folks over at SamMobile have received further information from their source, which suggests that the A7 will feature a 5.5-inch 720p HD screen and will only be available in limited markets. In China though, the handset will ship with a 1080p display. On the other hand, the A3 and A5 will see a worldwide launch with the latter expected to go on sale sometime next month.

While details about the A3 are scarce, the A5 is expected to come with a Snapdragon 400 processor, 13MP camera, 5MP front camera, 2GB RAM and a 2300mAh battery.

As for the pricing, the A3 is expected to come with a 350$ price tag while the A5 and A7 will retail for $450 and $500, respectively.
