Samsung GT-i9300 photo leaked, could this be the Galaxy S3?
Another day, another alleged Samsung Galaxy S3 leak, although we guess due to the high anticipation of the device, we can hardly blame would-be owners for getting excited. In any case the photo you’re looking at is courtesy of Phone Arena who was sent the picture which claims to be the real deal, although it does look convincing with Android 4.0 and TouchWiz on board. While the device was not actually revealed as the Galaxy S3, its code name, the GT-i9300 was outed.
Unfortunately at this point in time, the GT-i9300 could be pointing at any device, although logically it could indicate the Galaxy S3, especially since the i9200 was the Galaxy S2, and the i9250 was the Galaxy Nexus, although a leaked UAP profile on Samsung’s website revealed the i9300 to sport a display resolution of 1024×600, which was kind of disappointing if it were to be the Galaxy S3. In any case, the photo reveals an almost edge-to-edge display and the use of on-screen soft keys which has replaced the physical home button found on some versions of the Galaxy S2.
Either way there are many questions regarding this photo that have yet to be answered, so in the mean time we will keep the speculation down to a minimum and take it with a grain of salt until more information can be revealed. With Samsung looking at a possible launch in April, we guess we won’t have to wait too long for official confirmation.
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.
