is planning a high-end phone that outshines its flagship G series in design polish.
A Korea Herald report says Cho n-ho, the head of ‘s mobile business, told reporters at Mobile rld Congress the company is planning “a product that sts above the G Series” for launch in the second half of 2015.
Cho didn’t offer other details beyond that. The G3 is already a pretty solid device, with a 5.5-inch screen 2560×1440 resolution. That’s the same screen size as the ione 6 us, but it’s much easier to hold thanks to its smaller bezel.
The G4 is expected next month, with some type of “mixed metal” body, the report says.
th Samsung going all metal the HTC One M9 sticking close to its high-end playbook, may think its needs a bigger bang to attract those hungry for the best phone they can get their hs on.
rt of this strategy may include using its own chipset for more control over the entire engineering manufacturing process. According to The Korea es, is going to “gradually” start adding its own processors into its phones.
It’s not clear if the G4 or the mystery flagship would include Qualcomm chips or ‘s own. It’s not good news for Qualcomm, which already lost out when Samsung went with its own chips in the GS6, reportedly becausethe latest Snapdragon 810 overheated in testing.
y this matters: ‘ve seen what Samsung HTC have to offer with their phone announcements from Mobile rld Congress, so now it’s ‘s turn. Our G3 review found it to be a solid device, so it’s intriguing to hear the company wants to significantly step up its design build quality. ‘re not far off from a G4 unveiling, we’ll keep looking for clues to what this next flagship may look like.
