Samsung’s possible Galaxy M Pro sequel poses for the camera, may hang on to Android 4.0
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Samsung’s Galaxy M Pro is one of the few widely distributed, fixed-QWERTY smartphones available for the Android world, but cutting edge it’s not: the messaging phone originally shipped with Android 2.3 just as 4.0 was about to take center stage. It may be nearing a sorely needed update. Blog of Mobile has followed up a June FCC filing for an unannounced GT-B7810 with some purported details and photos for the same device. Most of the change is reflected on the outside: aside from a similar 480 x 360 display, it could have a considerably fresher metal-effect design. The improvement on the inside is tougher to reckon. While there should be a 1,200mAh battery, HSPA 3G and a micro-SIM slot, the only major upgrade claimed here is the shift to Android 4.0, or just enough to stay on the trailing edge. That is, assuming the B7810 launches at all. Having spent more than half a year in limbo, the budget-focused phone may be out of step with the modern market unless there’s a pre-release update in store.

When was the last time you saw or used a Samsung smartphone that had a QWERTY keyboard? Mine was one that ran on Windows Mobile 5.0, so you can more or less figure out just how ancient that device was. Well, what you see above is actually the Samsung GT-B7810 that has yet to be announced, although it does seem as though it is going to continue where the Samsung Galaxy M Pro left off. Very little is known about the device at this point in time, although the hardware specifications are definitely nothing much to shout about especially in this day and age, where a 480 x 360 pixel display is not going to impress anyone, with a pretty paltry 1,200mAh battery to go along with it.
