Benchmarks, details appear for six unannounced Samsung devices
Posted on 23:06 by Maria Scott
GLBenchmark has revealed information about six unannounced Samsung devices. These devices are yet to be unveiled by Samsung.
First, we have the Samsung GT-I9150 /
GT-I9152 – Galaxy Fonblet 5.8. As per the benchmark scores, The Galaxy
Fonblet has a Broadcom BCM28155 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz, a VideoCore IV
GPU, and a qHD (960x540 pixel) display. The device runs on Android 4.1.2
Jelly Bean.
Next up, we have a successor to the
Samsung Galaxy Pocket, the Samsung GT-S5310 / GT-S5312 Galaxy Pocket 2.
According to the benchmark the device has a Broadcom CPU clocked at
850MHz along with a VideoCore IV GPU. The display has a VGA (320×240
pixel) resolution and runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean straight out of the
box. Considering the specifications, the Galaxy Pocket 2 seems to be a
low-end Samsung device. The first generation Samsung Galaxy Pocket too
was an entry-level budget Android device. You can read our review of the
first generation Pocket here.
Another low-end Samsung Galaxy device
was listed – the Samsung GT-S5282 Galaxy Star. The Star has a Spreadtrum
CPU, Mali-300 GPU, and a display with a VGA (320×240pixle resolution).
It runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
A device called the Samsung GT-S6310 /
GT-S6312 – the Galaxy Young – was also listed. As per the benchmark, the
Galaxy Young boasts of a 1GHz Qualcomm 7×27 CPU along with Adreno 200
GPU. It has an HVGA (480×320 pixel) display. It too runs on Android
4.1.2 Jelly Bean. According to SAM Mobile, ‘Samsung initially started to
test the device with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich but the company
decided to launch the device with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on-board.’
The benchmark also revealed the Samsung
Galaxy Frame (GT-S6810 / GT-S6810P). It too boasts of a Broadcom 1GHz
CPU, VideoCore IV GPU, a HVGA (480×320 pixel) display and runs on
Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean straight out the box. Two variants of the
device will be available. One that boasts of NFC and the other that
doesn’t. It is still unclear what other differences will be present
between the two devices.
Last but not least, the benchmark also
revealed the GT-B9150. Called the TBD, the GT-B9150 boasts of a
dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU clocked at 1.7GHz along with a quad-core
Mali-T604 GPU. The device also features a full HD (1920×1080 resolution)
display. It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly bean straight out of the box.
That the devices have appeared on
GLbenchmark means that they are nearly finished and should be unveiled
to the world soon. It’s no coincidence that MWC, the world’s largest
mobile phone show, will take place towards the end of the month in
Barcelona. We can expect these devices to be unveiled then.
Another interesting observation is that a
large number of these new devices run on the Broadcom chipset. We have
seen the Broadcom SoC on another Samsung device that was launched
recently, the Samsung Galaxy Grand. The Grand has been announced in
India, but still needs to hit store shelves. You can check out our first
impressions of the device here.
Those interested can take a look at the benchmark scores of the devices below.
