Another alleged live photo of the rumored Samsung Galaxy F device has appeared, and it appears to sport a bezel that looks very similar to another smartphone we all know very well. The rumored-to-be premium version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 has appeared in countless other leaks and live photos, but this is the first we’ve seen of the device close up like this. We can’t really glean much from this photo, but it’s plainly obvious that the bezel of this device is shockingly similar to the bezel of the iPhone 5 and 5s. Notably, this device seems to have a sharper corner than the evleaks photo seen most recently. While Evan doesn’t have a perfect track record, only one of them can be the real thing, but there’s not really any way of knowing which as of yet.
Samsung may be preparing to release a new Galaxy smartphone with a more durable and premium build. The Korean smartphone maker has been rumored to release a metal-built smartphone called the Galaxy F for months, and now a new report claims to show what the device might look like. The new photo published by GSM Arena doesn’t reveal too much, but it does clearly show a metal frame outlining the edges of the phone. It sort of looks like the metal rim on the iPhone. Don’t expect a completely aluminum-crafted phone like the HTC One, however. GSM Arena reports that although the Galaxy F’s frame will be metal, it will still come with a plastic removeable back like Samsung’s previous smartphones. This contradicts previous rumors and leaks that implied the Galaxy F could come with a premium spun-metal back instead of plastic. The phone is expected to be very similar to the Galaxy S5 with the exception of its metal edges. We expect to learn more when Samsung makes an official announcement. The company usually unveils a handful of new phones and devices at the IFA conference in Berlin, so it’s possible we’ll get a glimpse of the Galaxy F in September.
