Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom Spotted In The Wild
It is not surprising to hear that Samsung is working on the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom, considering how that is the route that they took with the Galaxy S5’s predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S4. Hence, a sequel to the Galaxy S4 Zoom is not far fetched, and it seems that the Galaxy S5 Zoom has been caught in the wild, in the form of a photo that is clearer than most of the other hurriedly snapped leaked photos of other devices in the past.
One must say that the Galaxy S4 Zoom did come with a look that would make it look a whole lot more than a digital camera than a smartphone, whereas the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom has decided to do away with the protrusion of a smooth faux-leather-grain back that features the zoom lens, a narrow flash band, as well as the Samsung logo.
Other than that, the Galaxy S5 Zoom features a significantly thinner and lighter chassis, where it boasts of a 20MP sensor with 10x zoom (4.4-44mm with an f3.3-6.7 24 mm lens) as well as NFC thrown into the mix, running on a 6-core Exynos 5 Hexa CPU and accompanied by 2GB RAM with Android 4.4.2 KitKat as the mobile operating system of choice, according to previous leaks, where some do seem to be more reliable than others.
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.
