A Samsung Galaxy Stellar 2 has been spotted in the
online wilderness sporting a 4.5-inch display. In light of the current market’s
trend of larger and larger displays, where 5.1 to 5.2-inch smartphones are
deemed small devices today, according to the source, 4.5-inch devices are still
highly demanded regardless of the mainstream trend.
For those small smartphone users, it appears Samsung
has provided a solution to meet their requirements, at least according to these
concept render images. From the source, a model named ‘SCH-i300’ also known as
the Galaxy Stellar 2, will sport a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display at a
resolution of 720p. The chassis will take a more rounded design, noticeable
around the edges of the device.
The screen will be covered by 2.5D glass and plastic
casing, supported by a metal frame for structural integrity. In terms of
features, we can only judge from the photos that we’ll be expecting a
fingerprint sensor located where the home button is. For internal specs, the
smartphone will be powered by an entry/mid-level Snapdragon 626 processor
(8-core clocked up to 2.2 GHz) paired with an odd 2.5GB RAM and 32GB internal
storage.
Photography and videos are taken with a 5-megapixel
rear facing shooter and a 1.2-megapixel selfie shooter. The phone will have a
large 3500 mAh battery, supporting ‘Quick Charge 2.0’ via microUSB. The Galaxy
Stellar 2 will run Android 7.0 (Nougat) which is always welcome. According to
the source, the Galaxy Stellar 2 will be priced at US$ 99 (¥ 699).
