The Samsung Galaxy Fame specifications have been verified by the South Korean manufacturer, though we’re yet to get anything concrete on the price or release date. It is quite possibly the ‘Frame’ which had been detected in the GLBenchmark readings yesterday. This could either infer that the company has decided to go forth with the unveiling sans the ‘r’ or that the results may have had a spelling error.
If the Galaxy Fame is the same smartphone, then it confirms the rumor concerning an HVGA display. Its TFT screen is what initially meets the eye and it spreads as much as 3.5 inches across the front panel. The handset will weigh approximately 120 grams and measure 113.2mm x 61.6mm x 11.6mm in dimensions.
Apart from a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM will be fitted under the hood with a view to render the device with the speed needed for multitasking. The phone packs the Android 4.1 OS as of now, while there is no word from the company speaking about a possible v4.2 upgrade in the future.
Unlike the Young which has been introduced along with the smartphone in question, the latter will be shipping with dual cameras. A 5MP snapper will find itself fitted onto the flip side and feature auto focus as well as an LED flash. The embedded VGA webcam sharing space with the screen will permit live face-to-face calling.
Over and above the inbuilt storage capacity of 4GB, users could turn to the microSD card port which allows expansion of up to 64GB. With respect to system memory, the OEM has included 512MB of RAM. In spite being slated to arrive in single and dual SIM variants upon its launch, the device will also be offering buyers an option to purchase models with or without NFC support.
That brings us to the connectivity features. Of course, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n exists together with Bluetooth 4.0 in order to facilitate wireless sharing. Other significant aspects to wait for comprise of accelerometer, digital compass and proximity sensors, A-GPS and a 1,300mAh Li-ion battery.
Although the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Fame have been announced, its cost and release day details are yet to be disclosed. Moreover, the company states that it will be dipped in hues of pearl white and metallic blue before it strikes stores.
