The Samsung I9260 Galaxy Premier
was once rumored as the next Galaxy Nexus phone, but those rumors were
renounced. The Premier sits somewhere between the Galaxy S III and the S
III mini and now we know its GPU (and most likely chipset) thanks to a
GLBenchmark score.
GLBenchmark reports Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and 720p resolution
(that's exactly 1280 x 720 pixels, which confirms there won't be
on-screen controls). The CPU max frequency is listed as 1.5GHz and while
the number of cores was left out, the rumors point to a dual-core
processor.
The GPU is a PowerVR SGX 544, very similar to the SGX543 found in Apple's latest chipsets. All of this - plus some AnTuTu scores from last week - point to a TI OMAP 4470 chipset (recently used in Amazon's Kindle Fire HD 8.9 tablet).
This means the I9260 Galaxy Premier has two Cortex-A9 cores, probably
1GB of RAM and the SGX544 GPU. Other Android chipset makers rely on
Mali (Samsung's Exynos), GeForce (Tegra) or Adreno (Qualcomm), which
leave Texas Instruments.
We know it's not a Cortex-A15 packing OMAP 5 chipset (which has a
dual-core CPU and SGX544 too), because the AnTuTu CPU scores are below
those of the HTC One S and its two Krait cores.
Anyway, the Galaxy Premier is not going to dethrone the Galaxy S III,
but it does look more temtping than the NovaThor-packing Galaxy S III
mini. We're still waiting for the Samsung I9260 Galaxy Premier to be
officially announced.
