Samsung Galaxy Nexus specs revised
Yesterday specs of the Samsung Nexus Prime, or rather the Galaxy Nexus (Nexus Prime is the code name apparently) were leaked. According to the sources it would run on a 1GHz TI OMAP dual-core processor along with a 5MP rear-facing camera. Granted a 1GHz isn’t all that bad, but many were questioning its 5MP camera, which seemed awfully small for a phone that big.
According to GSMArena who got the exclusive, those specs were a slightly off. Thanks to their own sources, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will instead feature a 1.5GHz dual-core processor running on Samsung’s very own Exynos chipset. It will also come with an 8MP camera that’s capable of 1080p video recording, a 2050mAh battery and it will supposedly be a “world” phone in the sense that it will sport dual GSM/CDMA radios.
It will be LTE-capable and will most likely sport Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS. While this sounds more like the phone many are expecting, until the phone has actually be officially announced, we’ll have to take this with a grain of salt.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
If you would like to fancy your chances with an upcoming mid-range device that seems to hover more on the higher end scheme of things, then the Samsung Galaxy A9 would certainly fit you to a ‘t’, so to speak. After all, accessory manufacturer ITSKINS has shared more details concerning this device, with the Galaxy A9 touted to be a wee bit more compact as opposed to the Galaxy S7 Plus, never mind that both handsets will come with 6.0″ screens.
Measurements of the Galaxy A9 include 161.9mm x 81.3mm x 7.34mm, where it would be slightly taller than the Galaxy Note5, while sporting a metal and glass design, a fingerprint reader that should be able to handle mobile payments, a Full HD Super AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 620 chipset, among others.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 will no doubt be a smartphone that many people would look forward to picking up when it is ready, taking into consideration how flagship devices are always in demand. Well, the Galaxy S7 has been said to target an early 2016 release, and some photos of the alleged device has already been snapped, although one should take into consideration that the original Weibo post is no longer there.
Of course, do take this particular leak with a pinch of salt, since it could be one of the numerous smartphones from various manufacturers that could roll out a similar looking handset. In the leaked photos, you can see a wrap-around metal border design, which seems to be the in thing at least for the next couple of years. All that we can do now is to sit tight and wait for the real deal to surface.
