Thw mobile division of Samsung launched an ad campaign on Saturday via TV and social media sites announcing that the company will launch a new phone series in India.
"The wait's over. Here's a sneak peek of what you've been waiting for. @amazonIN ready to #BringItOn?" -- reads the Samsung advertisement posted on Twitter. The message comes with a 10-seconds video teaser showing a smartphone trying to break open from the Amazon India cardboard box. Though there is no mention of the name of the device, the hash-tag #BrinItOn hints the mystery device series might be the rumoured second generation Galaxy On7 and On5 series.
This teaser comes just days after Samsung devices SM-G570F and SM-G6100, understood to be the 2016 series Galaxy On5 and Galaxy On7 2016, respectively, appeared on benchmarking sites.
Some opine that the new phone might be the recently unveiled Galaxy J2 (2016), but Samsung in the press event held in Bengaluru on Friday said that the device will be available both online and brick-and-mortar stores across India starting July 10.

There is another theory that Samsung might launch much awaited Galaxy C7 and C5 series. It has been already made available in China and is due for release in India.
That being said, we still believe that Samsung might unveil the second generation Galaxy On series, as the device's top display which pops out of the Amazon box does not match the design language of the C series, thus ruling out the possibility of the metal-clad device making the debut next week.
