Hasta La Gadget!

Talk about home ground advantage (especially when it comes to the world of sports), as a Korean website recently reported that consumer electronics giant Samsung will bring their Samsung Galaxy Premier to South Korea (also known as SHV-E220 if model numbers are your cup of tea), where it will be powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core processor that is known as the Exynos 4412. Yes sir, it must be noted that currently available Samsung Galaxy Premier handsets chug along to a dual-core processor, so the South Korean version will definitely have a leg up over its international counterpart in terms of delivering a bigger punch when it comes to processing speed and prowess.

As for the rest of the hardware specifications on the Samsung Galaxy Premier, they will remain the same. Here is a quick recap – the Galaxy Premier will fall back on a 4.65” HD Super AMOLED display, where it has Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice that is complemented by the new TouchWiz user interface, have 8GB or 16GB of on-board memory, an 8-megapixel camera at the back and a 2-megapixel shooter in front, with 3G/LTE and DMB connectivity. Expect it to hit South Korean carriers SKT, KT and LG U+ for a yet undisclosed price.

If Samsung took a wrong turn with its brand-diluting Galaxy S III Mini, then the much-leaked Galaxy Premier is where it gets back on track. The phone keeps the outward visage of the Galaxy S III and makes only modest sacrifices in order to reach a wider audience. These include a slightly shrunken 4.65-inch screen, which still blazes away with a full 720 x 1,280 Super AMOLED panel, an acceptable dual-core 1.5 GHz TI OMAP 4470 processor, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The cameras haven’t been messed with — we’re still looking at an 8-megapixel rear and a 1.9-megapixel front-facer — while connectivity includes Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. So far, the phone has only been made official in the Ukraine, where it’s been pegged for a November release and priced at 5,555 Ukrainian hryvnias — an exotic-sounding figure that very roughly translates to $680.

It was just a couple of days ago when we saw leaked photos of the Samsung Galaxy Premier, otherwise known as the GT-I9260. Well, you know for sure that this particular device is well on its way to the market, considering how even more leaked photos of the Galaxy Premier has hit the deck, and just in case you need to refresh your memory, the Galaxy Premier will sport a 4.65” Super AMOLED Plus display, accompanied by an 8-megapixel camera. It will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box, and according to some whispers on the street, the Galaxy Premier will arrive this December, sporting a street price of approximately 400 Euros.

A dual-core 1.5GHz processor will run proceedings from within, and connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi and A-GPS. It will have a 1650 mAh battery, and judging by what we have heard and seen about the Galaxy Premier, it might make for a decent mid-range smartphone if you are in the market for one.

When we first heard of a rumored Samsung Galaxy Premier handset that might be a Nexus device, we had our doubts, especially when we saw TouchWiz adorning the alleged leaked image from Mobile Geeks. Now, GLBenchmark is also giving the idea of a new model more credence, as it briefly showed a possible GT-I9260 model packing a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, dual 1.5GHz processor and 8-megapixel camera. The page has since been pulled, but a screen cap of the benchmark (after the break) shows PowerVR SGX 544 graphics on the device along with middle-of-the-road scores, though all that would be on a pre-production handset without final software, if it’s accurate. Whether such a device would come along at a Google event or one of Samsung’s shindigs remains to be seen, but its very existence should be taken with a boulder-sized chunk of salt.

Not too long ago there were rumors suggesting that Samsung could be working on a Galaxy S3 Mini and a Galaxy S2 Plus, plus there were also an alleged leaked spec sheet belonging to the GT-I9260 which some have speculated could be the next-gen Nexus handset (although its specs did seem rather underwhelming). While specs on the Galaxy S3 Mini are still a no-show, the folks at SamMobile claim to have received a tip in their inbox which contains the specs of the Galaxy S2 Plus and the GT-I9260, which apparently has been given the “Galaxy Premier” moniker.
