Samsung Galaxy E5 & Galaxy E7 full specs surface
Sam Mobile has posted detailed specs of the SM-E700F and the SM-E500F Galaxy smartphones. Both of these will reportedly be part of the Galaxy E-series line and are likely to be named the Galaxy E7 and Galaxy E5 respectively.
The Galaxy E7 (SM-E700F) is expected to be the most impressive member of the Galaxy E-series family. It will reportedly be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.2GHz with an Adreno 306 GPU and come with 2GB RAM. The SUPER AMOLED display is said to be of the same size as the Galaxy A7, but with 1280 x 720 HD resolution instead of 1920 x 1080 on the Galaxy A7. It will also have 16GB internal memory, 13MP rear camera, 5MP selfie camera, and a large 2950mAh capacity battery. The device is expected to be 7.2mm thin, with overall dimensions of 151 x 77 x 7.2mm.
The Galaxy E5 (SM-E500F) will be powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and come with the same 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. It is expected to arrive with a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, an 8MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing camera, and a less impressive 2300mAh battery. But that smaller battery means it will be a little thinner than the E7 at just 6.9mm.
Both of them will apparently ship with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop version out of the box, with the usual Samsung TouchWiz UX running on top. Unfortunately no details on pricing and availability have been shared by SamMobile's sources. But if we were to guess, these two devices will probably show up by Q1 next year at the earliest. Via vr zone and sammobile.

If the A is the middle range, E series is the entry level ?

Not pushing ludicrous resolution, +1
Better battery life, +1
Bloatware fanatic sticking to 2GB RAM, -2
Meh.
To be fair, a small part of that bloatware is decent. S Health for example. The rest is indeed garbage.
The one thing that really pisses me off is the fact that I get a 'Emergency call | Alternate password' block when I'm using the fingerprint scanner as lock screen security. It's bullsh!t. I can't remove it goddamn touchwiz. Aside from that, they've significantly improved it.
PS: Android cannot access more than 2.5 gigs of ram, being 32-bit and all that. Soon we will see ram skyrocket once it gets the 64-bit version.

5.0 is 64bits, and the Exynos 5433 processor on the Note4 is in reality allready 64bit ( but disabled ), you access 3072Mb of ram with 32bit. There's not much smartphone with 3GB of ram today outside high end Android.

Android Kernels have had PAE support since Gingerbread, the OS can access up to 64gb of ram in 32-bit kernel space.(Each app however will only get up to 3gb of usage however).

Yeah, the ram limitation is a non-issue on Android. That being said ARMv8 which is only available on 64bit arch ARM processors is definitely beneficial in a number of situations. Although the 810 with stock ARM big.little doesn't really interest me much.

If 810 is just 805 with the armv8 instruction set then I'm not looking forward to it too much.

wait, galaxy S, A, E, alpha, Note, etc. etc. etc. how many different phones can there be? I understand exlusives, such as the alpha being exclusive to AT&T i believe, but in reality, where do these phones fit in? Sure, the Galaxy S line and Note are high end high dollar retail, but it's rare people buy retail, it's more likely people will sign up for 2 year contract making these phones typically 50-200 dollars, so where does the "mid and low" range stuff fit in with contracts?
