Samsung Galaxy Pocket 2 And Galaxy Core 2 Duos Seen
Samsung does seem to have a couple more smartphones that are being prepared for a general release, although there is no official announcement from the South Korean conglomerate just yet. The clues that we have to bite on happen to be listings on a Vietnamese website, and these point to the Samsung Galaxy Pocket 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Core 2 Duos.
The Galaxy Pocket 2 looks all set to take off from where the Galaxy Pocket left off in 2012, not to mention having subsequent sequels, so to speak, in the form of the Pocket Plus and Pocket Neo. It is definitely an entry level model, boasting a tiny 3.2” QVGA display with dual SIM support, HSDPA connectivity, a single-core 1.0GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB of internal memory, and a 2MP shooter at the back, all of it running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat right out of the box.
As for the Galaxy Core 2 Duos, this happens to run on runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat as well, with dual SIM support, a 4.5” WVGA display, a quad-core processor, a 5MP camera at the back with flash, a VGA front-facing shooter, 768MB RAM and 4GB of internal memory.
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.
