Last week TQ published pictures of a mysterious smartphone from Samsung, which rumours suggested could be the successor of Galaxy Note II. In addition to this the image also revealed that the mysterious mobile phone from Samsung has a metallic side frame, which gave the indication that perhaps the Galaxy device maker is finally bored with the plastic material it uses to build the cover for its mobile phones. All together the image was pointing towards the arrival of a new device that raised the heart beat of Samsung’s fans with excitement. However, their joy did not last too long, as SamMobile has now divulged that it was not the picture of an upcoming device from Samsung.
Shedding light on the mysterious device in the image, SamMobile has made it known that it was not a design of a brand new or upcoming handset from Samsung. In fact it was a rejected prototype design for the Korean manufacturer’s latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S IV. SamMobile was able to make this claim on the basis of information that came from a developer who still has the rejected prototype device. To give proof the person has sent a picture of the smartphone for verification.
SamMobile’s claim regarding the mysterious device from Samsung is acceptable because the smartphone shown in the image given above is not much different than the device that appeared online earlier in leaked images. However, this does not mean at all that Samsung is not going to switch the plastic bodies with metal, as most of its rivals have either made the shift or are thinking about making a shift from plastic to metal or aluminium.
A fine example in this regard is of HTC’s latest flagship smartphone the One, whereas Finland-based Windows device maker, Nokia might also announce a handset with metal body sooner or later. Therefore, if that happens it will further increase pressure on Samsung that is still the defender of plastic body, as it pays more attention on improving the specs of the device.
Nevertheless, at this stage nothing is confirmed therefore a switch from plastic to metal for Samsung is no more than just speculation. So we all have to wait and see whether the Galaxy S IV maker really shifts to the aluminium or metal for Galaxy Note III.
