Samsung Galaxy Fame Takes The Dual SIM Route
It was earlier this year when the single SIM version of Samsung’s Galaxy Fame, with model number S6810, was launched in Europe sometime last month. Having said that, it is now time for a new and improved model to step up to the plate, which will come in the form of model number S6812, and the number “2” behind would denote that this is a dual SIM device. The Samsung Galaxy Fame Duos, as it is called, has just hit India yesterday, and it seems restricted to that particular country at this point in time.
It is priced at approximately $203, where it will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, in addition to a 3.5” display at HVGA (320 x 480 pixels) resolution, HSDPA, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS support, a 1GHz single-core processor, a 5-megapixel shooter at the back, a VGA front-facing camera, 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory and a 1,300mAh battery.
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.
