After numerous rumors and leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Premier has finally been officially announced by Samsung Ukraine. Aimed at Eastern European markets, the Galaxy Premier combines mid-to-high-end smartphone internals with the latest software from Google and Samsung.
The Galaxy Premier packs a 4.65-inch, 1280×720 HD SuperAMOLED display, and is powered by a 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4 CPU, backed up by 1GB of RAM. You’ve also got 16GB of storage, expandable via a microSD slot, an 8MP rear camera and 1.9MP front-facer. On the software side, you’re looking at Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and Samsung’s latest TouchWiz UI.
At one point the Galaxy Premier was rumored as a possible Samsung Nexus device, owing to its product number (GT-i9260) being similar to that of the Galaxy Nexus. Instead, it merely looks like Samsung’s re-using some Galaxy Nexus components in its latest mid-range handset.
The Samsung Galaxy Premier is due for a November launch, priced at ₴5,555 ($679). So far there’s no information available as to any launch outside of Eastern Europe.
