Samsung Galaxy S5 Box Spotted (Rumor)
So, you think that you know a whole lot about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5? Perhap your perception on what could very well be the next flagship model from Samsung would change with the photo that you see above, where it is allegedly the bottom side of a retail Samsung Galaxy S5 box. Needless to say, the hardware specifications that you see there is rather different from what has been bandied about in rumors so far, where we see the alleged Samsung Galaxy S5 box point to a Quad HD Super AMOLED display at 1440 x 2560 pixels, a 2.5GHz processor which in all probability, is the speediest Snapdragon 800 chipset, as well as 3GB RAM.
What piqued our interest was this – a 20MP rear camera as well as a beefy 3,000mAh battery that ought to last for quite some time. So far, we did hear of a 16MP camera, so to see a 20MP shooter make an appearance is indeed a pleasant surprise. I guess we will just need to wait until the Unpacked event to find out more about the Galaxy S5!
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.
