Sample photo from Samsung Galaxy S3 appears online
We know that Samsung will be releasing the Galaxy S3 at some point later this year, but unfortunately its specs and a release date have yet to be outed, although for Galaxy S3 hopefuls, it looks like a photo taken by the device might have found its way onto Picasa whereby its EXIF data revealed that the device used to take the photo has the model number GT-I9300, a model number which many believe has been reserved for the upcoming Galaxy S3.
The EXIF data also revealed that the device sports an 8.1MP camera, although to be fair EXIF data can be faked, although to serve what purpose we can’t be sure unless Samsung is trying to keep things hush-hush for now. The quality of the photo above could be thought of as disappointing, especially since the camera on the Galaxy S2 was thought of to be one of the better cameras available for Android devices.
However it seems that according to feedback on the photo, it was taken as a test for a HDR function, which might explain the blurriness especially if the photographer had shaky hands. In any case we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for more information, so check back with us then for more info!
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.
