Samsung Galaxy W Smartphone with 7-inch Display Now Official

South Korean smartphone giant Samsung has finally unveiled its latest Galaxy W smartphone today in its native market. If you are thinking about the 3.7-inch smartphone called by the same name, you are absolutely wrong, as this one is a tablet with a 7-inch display.

The Galaxy W smartphone was leaked several times in the past and now the company has finally made it official. It comes with Android OS with HD display. The surprising part of the new device is that it is being called as a smartphone, despite the big display.

The so called 7-inch smartphone comes powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1.5GB of RAM. It uses a 16GB of expandable storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera.

Sad point is that it uses the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version of the OS rather than KitKat 4.4. The smartphone also packs 3200 mAh battery, LTE-A support, and the usual connectivity options.

It won't be the cheapest device either, as it's selling for 499,400 won (approx. Rs. 28,892) off-contract in its native market. The Galaxy W will be offered in Red, White and Black color options.

There is no word on the release in other markets but we expect it to be released in China at least.
