Samsung Reportedly Preparing To Launch Galaxy Round 2

Samsung Galaxy Round was an interesting smartphone, but it hardly made any impact on the high-end smartphone market. Now, it seems that Samsung may be preparing a sequel, new reports have claimed.

According to a tweet from @upleaks, the South Korean tech giant is working hard on a premium device with a model number SM-G930. Further, PhoneArena predicts that the SM-G930 model number could be the Galaxy Round 2. If true, the alleged handset will probably rival the LG G Flex 2.
