Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus coming 31st December?
So it appears that Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus supposedly missed its 9th of December release, but the question now is if not the 9th, when? Well it appears that some photos have surfaced online that supposedly was taken by an employee from the mobile department of a large regional retailer in the states. What so significant about these photos is that scrawled on them in a sharpie in huge black words seems to imply that the Galaxy Nexus will only be launched 31st December 2011.
It’s not the most convincing evidence we’ve seen since pretty much anyone can get their hands on a black sharpie and cardboard box. No doubt many would-be owners out there are sick of these rumored release dates but we’re guessing some information is better than no information, right? Either way we suggest taking this piece of information with a mountain of salt for now and cross your fingers and hope that Verizon’s Galaxy Nexus will see a launch by the end of 2011 at the very least.
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.
