Well Samsung maybe prepping for its next flagship - Galaxy S5 but this time it decided to test the market by introducing a similar spec'd(maybe inferior) to the S5 in the Taiwanese market and this beauty had a metal body. How exciting is that for Samsung fans who always longed for a phone with metal chassis. Take a look at the Galaxy J right below.
Well Samsung never tested the market with a phone that will almost or atleast have the nearest possible similar configuration but you never know what Samsung has up its sleeve. With Galaxy J being announced just a couple of hours ago, the specs run between the Note 3 and some added cool new features. With a 2.3Ghz Quad Core S800 chipset, Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB RAM, the specs are quite common now and the 5inch Super AMOLED moniker sports FULL HD resolution(1920x1080~441ppi). What bongles is the fact that Smasung never really bothers to add some extra waistline if that is what it takes to accomadate a bigger battery. With specs like these its necessary that the phone last long. Along with hardware comes new software features like Dual Shot, Dual Video Shot and even Dual Video Chat.

The phone is said to be coming with Android 4.3 on top but will be the first in line for Kitkat update. It will be interesting to see how Samsung will make changes to its own propreitary UI - TouchWiz, with the added features of Kitkat. With options like 16/32GB for internal storage and microSD card upto 64GB, there's no question of low memory. What is surprising is the fact that was announced with a pice tag of US $740 unlocked which seems a decent price for a phone with ultra-modern specs. Take a look at the promo video down below.
