Two mysterious Samsung tablets receive WiFi certification
There are rumors circulating that Samsung could be unveiling a 11.6” tablet at MWC 2012, and thanks to recent WiFi Alliance certifications handed to Samsung, it would seem that even if Samsung does not have a quad-core 11.6” tablet to unveil at MWC 2012, they definitely have some tablets planned. The models that have received the WiFi certification are the GT-P3100 and the GT-P5100.
Both models are listed as smartphones, but if Samsung’s habit of naming their devices is any clue, models that feature the GT-P7 model number are part of the tablet category, so while these models deviate from the typical naming pattern, it’s pretty close! Of course this is pure speculation for now, and who knows perhaps these are indeed smartphones instead of tablets, but until they have been revealed we’ll try to keep the guessing and speculation down to a minimum.
Either way there is a good chance Samsung could be unveiling these devices at MWC 2012 which will take place towards the end of February, so check back with us then for coverage and more info.
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.
