Samsung Galaxy F

Earlier rumors spoke of a Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime with qHD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and 805 metal housing. Recently, we came increasingly called Samsung Galaxy against F and it now seems proven that they are two different devices. Thereby getting the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime or a Snapdragon 805 chipset (and LTE-Advanced), but no new housing and a new screen.

The Samsung Galaxy F, which can be seen below in a leaked press render would , must be a third flagship Samsung go, besides the Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. The Galaxy F we expect in any event not later than the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime.

Earlier devices

Samsung has previously updated versions of its vlaggeschiptoestellen released in the past. The Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A example was a month after the launch of the original Samsung Galaxy S4 available, but almost exclusively in home country South Korea.

The Galaxy S III also has an optional version that has support for 4G (LTE). The standard version of the Galaxy S III (I9300) only has support for 2G and 3G, but the 4G version (I9305) also has support for fast internet via LTE. So it certainly seems not unlikely that the device shown by KPN will be marketed board as Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A.

No pictures

We too have seen the device at KPN, but making photos and screenshots were not allowed. Did know the KPN employees to tell that it ‘would not last long “before a device would come. 4G + with support on the market So we expect in the near future to see the Galaxy S5 Prime.
