News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 SM-G3858 specification

The Samsung Galaxy Beam was one of the first mobile devices to pack in a built-in pico projector, however, it didn't do very well perhaps because of not-so-good tech specs and a rather bulky plastic build. Recently, a smartphone that looks to be the Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 was registered in Tenaa, China's mobile device database under the SM-G3858 model number. While it doesn't really name itself as the Galaxy Beam 2, the bump on the top looks remarkably similar but rather than go for a plastic build, this smartphone offers a brushed metal backside. Tech specs for the SM-G3858 include a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, microSD support, 4.66-inch display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution along with Android 4.2.2. Measuring in at 11.6mm thick, it is still quite bulky but not as thick as the original Galaxy Beam which was 12.5mm. For now, it looks to be released in China first, with a possible global rollout and Malaysia release date sometime later in 2014. Stay tuned for more updates.
