Samsung possibly planning for a Galaxy Round successor with high-end specs

Recently, @upleaks has arrived with a new tip that Korean tech giant Samsung could possibly come with a new high-end handset having the model number SM-G930. Now the Samsung Galaxy S6 is supposed to have the model number SM-G920 and its elder sibling the Galaxy S6 Edge would have a model number SM-G925. Thus looking back to the trend of the company for giving some model numbers, we found that the Samsung Galaxy S5 has model number SM-G900 and the Samsung Galaxy Round has a model number SM-G910.

This means that if we add 20 points to the model number for Galaxy Round we are likely to have the model number SM-G930 for its successor. The Samsung Galaxy Round is curved at its sides unlike the top and bottom curbed of the LG G Flex. Thins will be more clear next month as we expect the device to be announced officially at the MWC 2015 expo starting March 1^st.

Samsung possibly planning for a Galaxy Round successor with high-end specs

Could the LG F490L Be the First to Run LG’s Odin SoC? Possibly the LG G Flex Successor?

Since many days,we have been hearing about a new handset codenamed LG Liger with the model number LG-F490L. Now, it appears like LG is launching this new smartphone with its own Odin chipset. As per a tweet from @upleaks that has surfaced on Monday, the handset coding the model number LG-F490L will become the first device to use the Odin powered chipset.

The LG Odin chipset is said to have entered mass production in April. Rumors claim that this processor will be appropriate for the high-end devices suggesting that LG has come up with a better processor this time.

So what exactly is the LG Liger? There are widespread speculations that LG-F490L could be the alleged LG G3 Prime that is an upgraded variant of LG G3. But, as the device is tipped to arrive with Snapdragon 805 SoC, there are claims that this new smartphone could be the sequel to their curved phone – LG G Flex.

The LG Odin chipset is believed to come in two configurations – octa-core and quad-core support. The octa-core version will be using the ARM architecture.It will arrive with Quad-Core 2 GHz Cortex A15 and Quad-Core 1.4 GHz Cortex A7 processors for light and extreme tasks paired with Mali T604 GPU.

LG has confirmed that an LG G Flex 2 will be available during the second half of the year.At the same time, it might also be the LG Vu 4 to, a phone we hasn’t been particularly looking forward to, but using it to introduce a new chip might be a smart move by LG to get the phone better attention. Either one of these models could be the LG Liger LG-F490L, which makes sense.

Really, though, there’s not a lot of strong evidence convincing us what Liger is one way or another. We’ll just have to keep looking for more info before we can really nail-down how Odin chipset will premiere.

Anyways, we need to wait until LG officially reveals something regarding the alleged LG G Flex successor.

LG G Flex 2 and LG Vu 4 confirmed for release in second half of 2014

LG has confirmed that LG G Flex 2, successor to LG G Flex and LG Vu 4, successor to the LG Vu 3 are to be launched in the second half of this year. This news was announced by LG after the unveiling of its much awaited flagship smartphone LG G3 in Seoul, although the Korean company didn’t say anything about this during the G3 launch at other places namely London, San Francisco, New York, Singapore and Istanbul.

In Seoul, after the unveiling of LG G3, the company held a special press conference to announce its intention of launching the LG G Flex 2 and LG Vu 4 in July-December half of 2014. There had been a rumor that LG G Flex 2 would be launched in Q1 of 2015. It now appears that the device would be launched much earlier than that or may be Korea will get it first in H2 of 2014 and the rest of the world will get it in early 2015. However, LG has not revealed any other details about these two upcoming smartphones.

LG G Flex was one of the first phones to sport a flexible display and a self-healing back panel. Its successor the LG G Flex 2 is expected to be an improvement with better display, aspect ratio and back panel. Coming to the LG Vu series, it’s a phablet with an odd 4:3 aspect ratio. It has not been much accepted in the international market, although it has garnered a decent business in Korea. It remains to be seen whether Vu 3 demand is limited to Korea or whether it gains acceptance internationally.

Meanwhile, let us wait and see if any rumors and leaks emerge and tell us more before the LG G Flex 2 and LG Vu 4 are officially lunched.
