Samsung Announces Unpacked Event For 14th March
After today’s confirmation by Samsung’s very own J.K. Shin that they would be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S4 in New York, Samsung has announced via its Twitter that they would be holding an Unpacked event on the 14th of March in New York, leaving very little to the imagination as to what the event could be about. The 14th of March date has long been rumored to be the date that Samsung would unveil the Galaxy S4, but it looks like it has been made official. We’re very excited to see what Samsung has in store for us, especially considering that the Galaxy S-series of Android smartphones have been wildly successful, so it will be interesting to see how Samsung will be able to top the Galaxy S3 in terms of design and hardware.
Previous rumors have suggested that Samsung would be using their newly announced Exynos 8-core chipset, but recent rumors have suggested that due to production issues, Samsung would instead opt to fit a 1.9GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset in the Galaxy S4 instead. Apart from that, other rumored specs include a 5″ Full HD display which we kind of expected already as the competition has definitely stepped up. The Galaxy S4 is also said to feature a 13MP camera which seems to be the popular choice these days for flagship devices. Either way if you’d like to learn more about the Galaxy S4, be sure to check back with us on the 14th of March for the details!
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.
