Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2 sample images leaked?
The Samsung i9260 has been deemed by some to be the model number (or name, depending on how you view it) of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2, which obviously will continue from where the Samsung Galaxy Nexus left off. This does not seem to shape up to be Samsung’s next flagship model, but it could be a flagship model for the Nexus range from Google, although this time around, it is said that Google wants to have more hardware players in the game to make full use of its Nexus namesake, and there are whispers going around that the Internet search giant did rope in the help of LG, Sony and HTC as well.
The alleged images taken by the Samsung i9260 are not exactly stunning to say the least. Far from it, actually, but at least they have surfaced on Picasa, indicating the possibility of the very real existence of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2. Glad to know that work is being done on the handset, and judging by what we’ve seen from the photos, hopefully those were captured by a very early prototype!
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.
