Samsung announced the Galaxy Wide 3
today - a successor to the Galaxy Wide and Wide 2 entry level handsets. The Galaxy Wide 3 is built around a 720 x 1280 pixel
5.5-inch display and features a 1.6 GHz octa-core CPU on what is likely the
Exynos 7870 Octa chipset. RAM is 2GB and there's 32GB of internal storage
expandable via the microSD card slot.
The device features a 13MP rear-mounted camera with
an impressive for the price range f/1.7 lens, while the front-facing sensor is
also 13MP but with a slower f/1.9 aperture.
The handset is powered by a 3,300 mAh battery and
runs on Android 8.0 Oreo with Samsung Experience UI on top. The expected price
is KRW 297,000 (US$ 275) and will be available for purchase starting tomorrow in
South Korea. It will likely remain confined to Samsung's home market like its
predecessors versions.
