Google has been long rumored to plan the release of new Nexus smartphones this year to celebrate the launch of Android 5.0, and some more info on the matter has allegedly emerged.
Photos taken with what is said to be the next-generation Google phone are now available online, showing a GT-I9260 model number and an 8-megapixel camera attached to it. This is the same model number that has been spotted recently in a User Agent Profile, and which was said to be designating Samsung’s next Nexus smartphone. A series of details on the handset have been spotted before, confirming the 8MP photo snapper on the back, as well as a 4.65-inch HD display on the front. The aforementioned images that have been reportedly taken with the handset also show that its camera will sport F/2.65 aperture and a 4mm focal length, which could point at the same sensor as the one present in Galaxy S II, GSMArena notes.
Two firmware flavors are listed in the EXIF data attached to the leaked images, namely I9260XXALI5 and I9260XXALI6. Packing 8GB/16GB of internal memory, the handset is also said to be powered by a 1.5GHz application processor and to sport a 2MP camera on the front, along with a microSD memory card slot to allow for storage expansion. Some of the previous rumors on this device suggested that Samsung might be set to release it as Galaxy Premier, yet nothing has been confirmed on the matter for the time being. The smartphone is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean at the moment, it seems, but it could be launched with a new flavor of Android, provided that Google is indeed getting ready to make the new OS release available before year’s end.
For the time being, we’ll take all the info on this smartphone with a grain of salt, but we’ll keep an eye out for more details on it, so stay tuned.
