News & Reviews:   Samsung Galaxy F specification

The rumoured premium metal body Samsung Galaxy F just got another press render leak, again from serial leaker @evleaks. This time around, it is the full smartphone but instead of gold, it is a metallic silver colour. While the leak did not go into details many are expecting a 2K display on the upcoming smartphone or one that will provide a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S range of tablets already offer 2K displays so it seems very likely that that would be a feature in the next premium smartphone from Samsung. No Malaysia release dates yet but the Galaxy F is expected to arrive in 2014 perhaps in Q4. As always, do take this rumour with a good pinch of salt but stay tuned for more developments.

While a black brushed metal Samsung Galaxy F picture has been making the rounds on the rumour mill, new renders of the smartphone otherwise known as the Galaxy S5 Prime have appeared. Coming courtesy of @evleaks, the renders show a golden brushed metal backside for the smartphone with a white front. Tech specs and features have yet to be confirmed but many are estimating a 5.3-inch display with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. Other features that are visible from the renders includea heart-rate sensor and a rear camera which will likely be the same 16MP sensor version. No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing, but stay tuned and we'll keep you updated.

There have been rumours of a metal-backed premium smarpthone from Samsung since forever, but new pics that have leaked online show that this may not be a rumour for much longer. Called the Samsung Galaxy F, the pics show a shape similar to the Samsung Galaxy S5 but sporting a black brushed metal backside, much like that of the LG G3. Other features include a heart rate monitor, fingerprint sensor and a 5.3-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution. Other tech specs include a Snapdragon 805 processor, 16MP rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). No news yet on pricing but it is expected around September, around the same time as the Apple iPhone 6. Hopefully Samsung does not run into any supply problems as is often the case with new metal body smartphones.

Metal-casing smartphone lovers have been predicting and wishing for a metal-casing Samsung for quite some time. With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S5 most of the hopeful users are now expecting the premium Samsung Galaxy F range of smartphones to appear with a metal chassis. Designer Ivo Marić has come up with a concept render of this metal chassis Samsung Galaxy F smartphone which looks very realistic, which you can check out for yourself in this article.

We previously reported about the Project F series of premium smartphones from Samsung which may have a metal body, 16MP OIS cameras and other superior tech specs or features but now it appears that it may be called theSamsung Galaxy F series instead. While there is already the Samsung Galaxy S series, the new Samsung Galaxy F series will spare no expense in making a super premium lineup of smartphones with top-of-the-line features such as Samsung Octa-core Exynos processors and the aforementioned metal chassis. No news on Malaysia pricing or release dates but this Samsung Galaxy F series is expected to be priced higher than the Samsung Galaxy Note series. This strategy fits with Samsung's usual 'carpet bombing' of a model for every need and we may see the first Samsung Galaxy F smartphone during the holiday season at the end of 2013.
