Samsung Galaxy F poses for outdoor photo

On Saturday, we showed you pictures taken by one of our loyal readers, allegedly revealing the Samsung Galaxy F. As we previously discussed, this is the "premium" version of the manufacturer's flagship Android smartphone, with major bumps in screen resolution, processing speed and the camera. With a 1440 x 2560 QHD resolution on its 5.3 inch screen, a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor under the hood and a 16MP rear-facing snapper with OIS, many are saying that this is the phone that should have been released as the Samsung Galaxy S5.

What is forcing Samsung to press ahead with the Galaxy F is the LG G3 and the HTC One (M8). The LG G3 is coming to market with a QHD resolution on its 5.5 inch glass. And the HTC One (M8) has a fabulous build quality with its all aluminum body. Thus, Samsung is trying to counter its two biggest rivals in the high-end Android smartphone sector.

The Samsung Galaxy F in the sunlight

On Sunday, our source came back with a new picture taken outdoors to give us a better look at the phone, including the brushed metal rear cover. The latest speculation has the Samsung Galaxy F being released at the same time as the Apple iPhone 6, which should be this coming September.

Leaked Samsung Galaxy F image shows brushed metal back

A couple of days ago evleaks posted an image of what someone claimed to be the Samsung Galaxy F (variously known as Galaxy S5 Prime and S5 Dx). That was a small, grainy image that didn’t reveal much, but this new image gives us a much cleaner look.

Unsurprisingly, the Galaxy F looks almost exactly like the Galaxy S5, except the perforated leather look has given way to a brushed metal back. The "leather" is just plastic, of course, but then again LG used a metal-looking plastic for the LG G3 and it looks and feels pretty great.

The Samsung Galaxy F (G906) will have a slightly bigger screen – 5.2" – than its non-premium sibling and it will bump up the resolution to QHD. It will allegedly be powered by a Snapdragon 805 chipset and have faster LTE connectivity (225Mbps).

It was imported in India for testing and certified in its home country, but despite rumors for a June release there's no solid info on when the new flagship will launch. The only official Samsung event this month is on June 12 and is for the new Galaxy Tab S tablets.
