The Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus specifications and a press shot have sneaked out dousing the curiosity that has been piling up since word of the handset’s possible existence came out back in December. The smartphone which comes under the entry-level category, can be expected to land before June this year.
Taking a look at the image of the Galaxy Pocket Plus which is given below, we notice that the handset looks almost like its predecessor (see bottom-most picture). And according to a post on SamMobile, even the hardware components do not differ much except for the updated CPU. The external appearance shows off a 2.8-inch QVGA TFT touchscreen display on the front and a 2MP camera on the flip side.
Users will have to make do with the internal memory information, which is 4GB, since there is no news concerning an expansion slot and the maximum external storage capacity as of now. An 850MHz Broadcom BCM21654 processor turns to 512MB of RAM to facilitate activities such as browsing the Internet, sharing media content, downloading data, watching movies and more.
The phone goes by the model number GT-S5301 and manages to grab a helping of Ice Cream Sandwich. It may not be a preferable option for the high-end device hunters, but it does tag along decent features and a downgraded version of the TouchWiz interface. And if we take a look at the brighter side, users will able to choose from a plethora of apps and games using the Google Play store.
Keeping people’s connectivity needs in mind, the OEM has tossed in the usual Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and A-GPS features and built the handset to support 2G as well as 3G networks. Additional attributes consist of sensors like an accelerometer and a digital compass. A 1,200mAh battery should be able to keep the phone pacing throughout the day.
The price for the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus hasn’t been declared yet, however the release date is anticipated to fall in the first half of 2013. There is also some buzz of a certain country-specific variant GT-S5301L making its way to Latin America.
