Samsung Announces its Exynos 1.4GHz Quad-core For Samsung Galaxy S3
After recent news about the Samsung Galaxy S3 getting benchmarked by a third party application, Samsung has announced the processor which is to be used in the upcoming Samsung flagship phone which will have the wraps taken off it in London on May 3rd. Straight from the horse’s mouth, Samsung claims that the new 32nm 1.4GHz quad-core processor which has long been rumored to be part of the phone flaunts twice the processing power over its predecessor.
On top of that, with features like the High-K Metal Gate, it even saves up to 20% in energy and because of all of that, it fits Samsung’s wish to replicate a PC-like experience on their smartphone. Samsung is also willing to spread the love by offering the chip to manufacturers that use the older Exynos dual-core processors on its phones because this new one is apparently pin-to-pin compatible with the dual-core ones found in devices like the Samsung Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note which proffers the designers a chance to update product designs at minimal costs.
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.
