Two new Samsung smartphone models have been spotted in the wild and one of them could be a flagship variant of the S6.
Discovered within an IMEI database, the two models are listed as ‘SM-G928S’ and ‘SM-N920F’. The former is expected to be the Galaxy S6 variant, while the latter is believed to be a Note 5. According to the site’s sources, the Note 5 is code named “Project Noble,” while the S6 variant is being called “Project Zen” internally.
Not much is known about either phone other than the Note 5 will be the first to feature Samsung’s new in-house Exynos 7422 APU which combines RAM, storage, modem, GPU and CPU within a single chip.
Further details of project Zen have been leaked when the device was registered on benchmarking platform HTML5Test, which scores web browsers on their ability to handle HTML5 elements. The leaked test in question was performed using Samsung browser 3.2 on a Samsung ZenZero smartphone running Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Project Zen is the internal name of the Galaxy S6, so ZenZero could potentially be another prototype of the S6. What’s also impressive is that the ZenZero scored 503 points during its test run, beating the Google Nexus 5 with Chrome 42 and Android 5.1.1 which scored 515.
While there’s nothing else to learn about the two new Samsung phones at this point, we would expect information to surface soon now that they are in the wild.
