Samsung's much-touted Galaxy A5 smartphone with a full-metal jacket finally has some pricing details, at least for the dual-SIM version in China.

The Samsung Galaxy A5 is part of the company's much-rumored A series of devices with metal designs, and made its debut last month alongside the lower-specced Galaxy A3. At the time, Samsung only unveiled a single-SIM version of the Galaxy A5.

Samsung has now listed the dual-SIM model of the Galaxy A5 on its Chinese website, along with a CNY 2,599 (about $423) price tag. Aside from the dual-SIM support, this variant of the Samsung Galaxy A5 is identical in terms of specifications to the single-SIM model announced initially.

As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy A5 sports a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and packs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor under the hood, clocked at 1.2GHz and paired with 2GB of RAM. Other specs include 16GB of internal storage capacity, microSD card support for additional memory of up to 64GB, a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a selfie-friendly 5-megapixel front shooter. On the software side, the handset ships with Android 4.4.4 KitKat.

The company's Chinese website has not listed the Samsung Galaxy A3 yet, but the handset is expected to become available soon as well, potentially in a dual-SIM variant just like the A5.

At the same time, Samsung has yet to launch its Galaxy A5 in markets outside of China, and it remains unclear at this point just when the smartphone will make a wider debut. Some recent rumors suggested that the Samsung Galaxy A series would face some delays over low production yields for the full-metal bodies, but the handset would still become available in "select markets" such as China in November.

Samsung was rumored to have a Q3 launch target for its Galaxy A series, but those purported difficulties in making the metal casings reportedly prompted the company to delay the launch until the fourth quarter.

The Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5 are Samsung's first full-metal unibody designed devices, after the company faced severe criticism for years over its love of plastic. Up until this year, all Samsung smartphones, even the highest-end ones, came with polycarbonate bodies, despite consumer demand for more premium materials. Samsung took a first step in the right direction back in August with the Galaxy Alpha, which sports a metal frame, then went full-metal in October with the Galaxy A3 and A5 handsets. A higher-end Galaxy A7 was also expected to launch under the new A series, but so far nothing has materialized in this regards. For now, interested customers in China can purchase the dual-SIM Galaxy A5 for CNY 2,599.
