The nearest model that Samsung released to the rumored device is the Galaxy C7, which has a 5.7-inch screen, 1080 x 1920 screen resolution, and around 386 ppi pixel density. It also came with a Snapdragon 625 which has a clock speed of 2.0 GHz and an Adreno 506 GPU. It has 4 GB of RAM, 32 and 64 GB internal storage variants (expandable up to 256 GB via a microSD), and a 16-MP rear- and 8-MP front-facing cameras.

It also arrived with a non-removable 3,300 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, a fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button, and it is loaded with an Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The device's connectivity options include LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth v 4.1, and GPS.
