Samsung, the number one smartphone manufacturer globally has been ensuring that its mid-range devices are ahead of the rest off late and has been constantly working in that regard. Qualcomm had showcased its 64-bit budget chipsets a while ago and the Snapdragon 410 was the one which was expected to cater to the budget segments. It looks like that the two giants are coming together to launch a budget handset with a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chipset under the hood.
A new device with the model number SM-G510F has shown up on GFX benchmark website which shows that it has a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 ticking at its heart. The 64-bit chipset hasn’t been mentioned explicitly on the benchmarking website but what indicates towards its existence is the presence of Adreno 306 GPU which is compatible with only Snapdragon 410 SoC.
The listing also reveals that the smartphone will come with a 4.8-inch qHD display with resolution of 960 x 540 pixels, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung's TouchWiz UI on top. At the back will be an 8MP snapper with LED flash and support for 1080p video recording. The front camera will be a 5MP unit. The internal storage capacity will stand at 8GB which will be available for expansion too (most probably up to 64GB).
There is no word on when Samsung will officially launch the SM-G510F, but it wouldn't take too long, as Qualcomm is said to start the mass production of Snapdragon 410 processor soon.
