It looks like Samsung is committed to pushing their “premium feel” phones further, as after the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, the recently outed Samsung Galaxy A5, and the leaks for the A500, another one from the “A Series” is on the pipeline – it’s name-coded as the SM-A3000, with pics leaking from China source TENAA.
As we can see from the pics – and as with the A500 – we can see the design of the phone harking back to the first iteration of this series, the Galaxy Alpha. We can’t be sure if it still carries the metal bindings of its higher-priced, better-specced predecessor but the design language definitely fits the bill.
Specs will be kind of incomplete as is usual from TENAA, but from what we can see, the new device will have a 4.5-inch quarter HD 540×960 display. It will be powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor (we don’t know of which make) and supported by 1GB RAM. The phone will have 8GB of internal storage, expandable to 64GB via microSD. The SM-A3000 will also have an 8MP/5MP camera combo.
For a mid-ranger, the fact that it will have LTE connectivity is a real selling point. It would be fair to expect this to sell at around USD$200 or thereabouts. As to what market Samsung is targeting, we have no information yet. But it shouldn’t take too long for them to officially announce this phone.
