The South Korean company Samsung seems to go ahead with its plans to launch a new smartphone with metal sides similar to those incorporated in the recently introduced Samsung Galaxy Alpha. While a few days ago we knew that this new mobile had received its first official certifications under the name of SM-A500, this time it was a performance test that has revealed the technical specifications with which this new mobile could be presented.
The performance test which has been subjected SM-A500, the new movable side metal of Samsung, reveals that this smartphone incorporate a screen 4.8 inches with a resolution HD, that is, a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. The processor housed inside correspond to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 of four cores with 1.2 GHz clock speed that surprisingly be designed to operate at 64 bits. This, added to the leak of another Samsung mobile modelWith a similar processor, it reveals to us that the South Korean company seems to have proposed to incorporate 64-bit processors in the mobiles that will be arriving on the market in the coming months. The capacity of the RAM memory would be established at 2 GigaBytes, while the internal storage space would reach 8 GigaBytes.
The two cameras incorporated in the SM-A500, even despite being mid - range sensors would house 12 megapixels for the main camera and 4.7 megapixel for the front camera. The operating system installed as standard would correspond to Android in its most recent version, Android 4.4.4 KitKat. This version is based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat and only incorporates small security fixes that do not make any visual difference between one version and another. On the other hand, for the SM-A500 to be able to take full advantage of the 64 bits of its processor it is necessary that it first receive the update ofAndroid L, a version that will begin to be distributed at the end of this year and that will incorporate, in addition to the important visual novelties, the possibility of running 64-bit processors on the Android operating system platform.
Compared to the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, the SM-A500 appears to be a slightly larger phone that sacrifices processor performance and internal storage capacity in exchange for offering a somewhat improved front camera. The Galaxy Alpha, meanwhile, has technical specifications such as a processor Exynos 5430 of eight cores running at 1.8 / 1.3 GHz, a memory RAM of 2 Gigabytes, 32 Gigabytes of internal storage, a main chamber 12 megapixels and a 2.1 megapixel front camera, the Android operating system in its version of Android 4.4.4 KitKat and a 1,860 mAh battery.
For now it is expected that Samsung present at the upcoming technology event IFA 2014 (Berlin (Germany), from the 5 to the October to September) its new Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Also taking into account that the Samsung Galaxy Alpha has been presented a few weeks ago, it is most likely that to attend the official presentation of this new SM-A500 we will have to wait until the last months of the year.
