Samsung Galaxy F Allegedly Leaks in Live Photo

Following a long series of rumors and leaks on Samsung Galaxy F, said to be a premium smartphone coming from the South Korean mobile phone maker, an alleged live photo with the device is now available online, though it does not show much of the device.

Only a portion of the top of the smartphone is visible in the aforementioned image, confirming that Samsung would plan on releasing it with a metallic body, something that Galaxy S5 too was expected to sport. The leaked photo, available courtesy of GSMArena, also allows us to have a closer look at this metallic case, though the news site claims that the phone will feature only a metallic frame, with the back plate being made out of plastic. The recently leaked press renders with the device have suggested that it would sport a brushed metal finish on the back, and that Samsung would move away from the plastic case available on its Galaxy models, but it seems that things were only partially true. However, no official confirmation on any of these has been provided as of now, and we’ll have to take the info above with a grain of salt for the time being.

In the meantime, we should note that Samsung Galaxy F is rumored to arrive on shelves with a 5.3-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a Quad HD resolution, which would make it a bit larger than the Galaxy S5. Moreover, the mobile phone is said to hit shelves with a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor inside, which will be accompanied by 3GB of RAM, so as to provide users with great performance capabilities at all times. Considering the fact that Samsung has already launched a Galaxy S5 LTE-A model in South Korea with this processor inside, as well as with a 2K screen, the hardware specs rumored for the Galaxy F are not far-fetched. However, this also means that the company will need to include some impressive new capabilities inside the upcoming device, so as to justify its positioning above the current flagship.

One of these was said to be the aforementioned all-metallic body, paired with the Snapdragon 805 processor, yet it remains to be seen whether the vendor will make some other changes inside the device as well, such as an upgrade to the rear camera, and more. Samsung Galaxy F is expected to become official sometime in September, perhaps at the IFA 2014 show in Berlin, so it will take a while before we know what it will have to offer.
