Samsung Galaxy U Line To Reach The End Of The Road Soon
It is not a surprise to hear that the folks over at Samsung do roll out plenty of phones – so much so that there seems to be a little bit of something for everyone. It does not matter whether you are on the lookout for an entry level handset, or want a mid-range phone, or perhaps are even looking for a high end model, Samsung has it all. However, there are times when a company would need to know how to cut its losses, which is why we have heard on the grapevine that Samsung intends to cease development of its Samsung Galaxy U series of smartphones.
SamMobile claims that Samsung has already stopped development of the Galaxy U range, but they did not reveal a reason behind this move. Speculation has it that it could very well be a delay and nothing else, so that Samsung is able to focus on the launch of the upcoming flagship, which would be the Samsung Galaxy S6. In fact, the Galaxy S6 is touted to offer something new right from the get go, making it a major departure from the other Galaxy S series of handsets. What do you think?
Perhaps it is a case of just repositioning their assets to make sure that every single device will roll in the money for the South Korean conglomerate, and if that means chopping off some limbs of the tree, so be it.
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.
