Samsung teases a new phone that’s fit, simple, elegant, and fast

As much as you’d like (and us too) for this to be the Galaxy S 5, we strongly believe it is not,

 because Samsung has never released two S-flagships in a year — and we don’t think they’ll

 start now — as well as because this is a video from Samsung Taiwan. Oh, and one little detail:

 the model number for theSamsung Galaxy J is clearly visible on the video.

As a recap, the Galaxy J is placed somewhere between the Note 3 and the S 4, and was 

exclusive to Japan’s NTT DoCoMo. It features a five-inch Super AMOLED display with Full

 HD resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.3GHz, 3GB of RAM, 

32GB of storage, and Android 4.3 on-board alongside Samsung’s own TouchWiz. 

This is the the Samsung SC-02F, the same model number shown in the video.

So what do we have here, really? We’re guessing that at the time shown on the Gear

, which is 1p Monday, December 9, 2013 (probably Taiwan time), Samsung will announce 

it’s Galaxy J for Taiwan, or, will announce global availability for the phone, at a Taiwanese event.

How about that metal-looking back? While we’d love for the phone to have an aluminum

 back (and, why not, construction), we think that this might still be plastic, with a texture

 mimicking plastic: after all, the Japanese Galaxy J’s white version had the same back, 

and that’s what we think we see on this video. See below, and at the bottom!
