On Monday, Samsung unveiled a large size Android smartphone named the Galaxy W, which features a massive 7 inch display with a 720 by 1280 pixel resolution. The display maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio, allowing the device to keep the usual smartphone look.The rest of the specs include 16GB of internal storage which can be expanded through microSD, an 8MP rear camera, a 3200 mAh battery and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM. The device comes with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean pre-installed. The price of the phone is 499,400 Korean Won ($487 USD), and the device is being made available in black, white and red.
The 7 inch screen is a record for a smartphone, topping the 6.44 inch display on the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. Samsung's previous record for a smartphone screen was the 6.3 inch display found on the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3.
Strangely, this is the second Samsung Galaxy W to be released by the company. Back in 2011, a 3.7 inch handset powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread carried the same name. The new Samsung Galaxy W can be identified by its model number of SM-T2558, and might be limited to the Asian region.
