Samsung Galaxy F appears in first Press render
Heard about Samsungs premium Galaxy F lineup of smartphones the company is preparing to announce? Well, we had reported you with this news the past year, and now we have the evidence coming in from the leakster, evleaks, showing-off the Press Render of a smartphone, claiming it to be the South Koreans impending Galaxy F handset.
We had also heard about a premium or prime version of the companys latest flagship phone, named as Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime, which had also made its way to India and leaked in a few live pictures, earlier. Sadly, both the phones dont seems to match well enough from the back battery door design. Okay folks, even though the tipster calls the above phone the Galaxy F, the phone looks a lot similar to their lately announced front runner smartphone from the whole design language. What so ever, it depends upon Samsung, what they call their new release, once announced officially.
As we are already expecting changes here, what we do notice at the first glance from the above device is that brushed metal finish (either patterned over plastic or made out of complete metal) on the back, where previously the Galaxy F and Galaxy S5 Prime smartphones were also said to ship with metal constructed body, unlike now where Samsung has made a habit of announcing their smartphones designed in faux leather (plastic) back covers with stitching and perforated patterns. From the above picture we also spot the heart rate sensor alongside the units LED flash light under the primary lens, just like a GS5.
Other than the exterior hardware changes, the leaked phone is speculated with a Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and a 5.3-inches Quad High Definition screen of 2560 x 1440 resolution display. Reportedly, the new Galaxy F series is read to replace the companys Galaxy S fleet of smartphones, claiming we wont see Samsung announce a Galaxy S6. The phone is also allegedly said to launch at the firms Unpacked Episode 2 event. But remember, nothing is just official, so its better to take in that sense.

Asus Zenfone 6 First Impressions
The Asus Zenfone 6 is the largest phone in the new Zenfone line-up. It has a 6-inch screen but is set to sell for under £250 SIM-free, if we dont get done over when the the phone comes here from the US.
We think the Zenfone 5 is the sweet spot in the new range, but this should prove one of the cheapest ways to get a 6-inch phone.
Asus Zenfone 6 – Design
Like any 6-inch phone, the Asus Zenfone 6 is very large. Its a real handful, which is one of the main reasons to consider another phone in the Zenfone range instead of this one.
Build is much the same as the other Zenfone mobiles. Its rear is plastic, and comes in red and gold and well as the more standard black or white. Common to many larger phones, its slimmer than its Zenfone brothers at 9.9mm thick.
It weighs 200g, which is about the norm for a phone of this size. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 weighs 199g, for example.
The bit of Zenfone series visual flair is the area of shiny concentric circles below the screen. Its just there for the look, as the soft key virtual buttons sit just above this bit.
Asus Zenfone 6 – Screen and Specs
The key way the Zenfone keeps its price down is by using a lower-resolution screen than some of its rivals. Despite being six inches across, the phone has a 720p display, rather than a Full HD one.
Unlike the Zenfone 5, you can tell this deficiency, but its a relatively minor issue. Texts looks a little bit softer than it would on a 1080p screen. Otherwise the IPS display provides decent image quality for a low-cost phone with good viewing angles and OK colour reproduction.
Like all the Zenfone mobiles, the Zenfone 6 uses an Intel Atom processor. Its the same one used in the Zenfone 5, a 2GHz dual-core Z2580 chip. This is a chip first seen in the Lenovo K900 back in 2013, and rarely used since, but it provides good performance for a phone this cheap. Asus claimed that it outperforms almost every Android phone out there, but such claims should be treated with a pinch of salt as Intel Atom performance versus things like Qualcomm chips varies a lot between benchmarks.
Asus Zenfone 6 – Software
The version of the Zenfone 6 we played with ran a largely vanilla version of Android 4.3. However, by the time the phone launched itll run ZenUI, Asuss new Android interface.
As well as a new look and extra features, it could come with some performance issues like other third-party interfaces. Well look into this once the phone is released.
Asus Zenfone 6 – Cameras
Across the board, the Zenfone 6 is similar to the Zenfone 5, but it does have a superior camera. Its main sensor is a 13-megapixel model rather than an 8-megapixel one.
One of the main software features of the new Zenfone phones is the softwares ability to downgrade the cameras resolution to improve low-light performance. This involves virtually grouping together sensor pixels to create virtual, larger sensor pixels. Well wait for our review sample to see if it really works, though.
The Asus Zenfone 6 also has an LED flash and a 2-megapixel front camera.
