These leaked images shows a big smartphone having about 5-inch screen with curvy corners and metal (probably aluminum) stripe along the sides. The front and back panel appears to have dot-textured finishing.
The phone back contains a camera with LED flash and speaker appears to be at the bottom. The power button is on the right side. At the bottom, there is a micro USB port.
The hardware of this phone looks impressive with quad-core ARMv7 processor clocked at 1.8 GHz and 2 GB RAM. Photos shows this phone is running Android version 4.2.1.
While is is still unclear if these images are legitimate or not, it is clear Samsung will get benefit of the hype. Looking at the images, this phone does not look good in finishing or it may be just me not happy with the finishing.
This is what happens with every major gadget release. First the companies announce "something new" coming. Then people start speculating and "leaking" images and videos of this gadget. Some news of the product suddenly pops up. Some employee suddenly forgets the prototype in a bar, distributor or accessory maker "mistakenly" publishes listing on the website and quickly removes it after someone see it and "breaks the news" on the internet. Then companies avoid confirming anything. I bet they laugh at us in their offices because all the unnecessary hoopla gains them a huge benefit. They enjoy the drama before the release, and so do we right?
