Following the success of Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, Samsung and Google are reportedly gearing up for the release of a new Google phone.
The handset hasn’t been officially confirmed for the time being, but a User Agent Profile appears to have spilled the beans on it. The UAProf shows a certain Samsung GT-i9260 smartphone in the works at the South Korean mobile phone maker, and rumor has it that this might indeed be the successor of last year’s Galaxy Nexus. The second Google phone from Samsung arrived on shelves with model number GT-i9250 attached to it, and with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720. The new device sports the same resolution, and the model number implies that it might be connected in a way or another to the current Nexus smartphone. Moreover, the UAProf unveiled that this smartphone comes with an ARM11 processor, which Pocketnow suggests that might actually be ARM’s Cortex-A11 CPU. Galaxy Nexus was launched with a TI dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU inside, and its successor is expected to pack an upgraded processor.
At the same time, the second Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which might arrive on shelves under the name of Galaxy Nexus Plus, if not Galaxy Nexus 2, is expected to feature various other improvements as well when compared to the original. The User Agent Profile does not provide more details on the matter but, provided that the handset is indeed real, info on it should emerge in the following months. On the other hand, we should note that the same GT-i9260 model has been recently rumored to be the en-route to shelves as the Galaxy Premier, a Jelly Bean-based Samsung phone. Leaked info that emerged over at ubergizmo suggested that it could sport a 4.65” HD screen, MSM7227A-1 Turbo Single 1GHz CPU, 8MP camera, 2MP front snapper, 8 GB/16 GB internal memory and a microSD (up to 64 GB) card slot.
