14 DAY TRIAL // Although everyone is waiting for the next-generation Galaxy S III smartphone to go official, Samsung plans to release other Android devices as well.
The South Korean handset vendor trademarked lots of new names for its Galaxy family, and we’re expecting at least 5-6 new smartphones to be announced in the following months.
One of these handsets, close to being officially introduced, is the Samsung Jasper. The smartphone was recently spotted at Bluetooth SIG by the guys over at Pocketnow.
Moreover, it appears that Samsung Jasper has been tested with GL Benchmark, which reveals some of phone’s specs sheet.
The smartphone goes by the name of Samsung SCH-i200, but it is codenamed Jasper. It’s almost certain that this one will be released in the United States through Verizon Wireless.
From the little information that we've got via GL Benchmark, it appears that Samsung Jasper is a mix of high- and low-end features, which make it versatile.
According to Pocketnow, the Jasper is powered by Google’s latest Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and packs a quad-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz.
In addition, the smartphone will be delivered with some kind of WVGA capacitive touchscreen display that supports 800 x 480 pixels resolution.
It will be interesting to see whether this will come with 4G/LTE support as well or will be retailed as an improved mid-tier device with quad-core processor.
Other than that, there are no details on Samsung Jasper price or availability, but seeing that the smartphone is already in testing by Verizon, we can safely assume that it will be announced in the following weeks.
On a side note, Samsung SCH-i200 will be positioned immediately after the SCH-i100 and SCH-i110, which are also known as Samsung Gem and Illusion, respectively. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
