Samsung Galaxy Win official for other markets - 4.7" display and quad-core Snapdragon 200

The leaked Samsung Galaxy Win is official now for places besides China, and its rumored specs got confirmed by the company for realsies, namely a 4.7″ 480 x 800 LCD display, 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 5 MP rear camera, VGA up front, 8 GB of internal memory plus a microSD slot, and a decent 2000 mAh battery. Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean rounds up the pretty offering.

As for design, you can see for yourself in the slideshow below, but don't expect that Samsung will stray away from the already globally recognizable Galaxy line wrappings - we have the feeling we've seen the Galaxy Win already in more than one or two reincarnations.

Still, "depending on the markets, the GALAXY Win will be available in two different versions – Single SIM or Dual SIM, and available in two different colors – Ceramic White and Titan Gray," so there's that, but no pricing or launch regions and dates yet.

What is best about this phone? It is the same dull design of the galaxy line.

It must be really easy for Samsung to design phones it seems. Use the same s3 design, change the size a bit here and there, throw in specs that fits the target price range and they made a 'new' phone. I think they might have no problems at all making a new model every 2 days. It's like playing Lego.

Would rather prefer a weaker dual core cpu but with a 720p screen resolution.

That's the thing, the processor is already quite weak. Four cores, sure, but all are Cortex-A5, so not very powerful. I shudder to think how the bloated and heavy TouchWiz will perform on this one. xD

Same design pattern.. Its like Samsung is playing it safe...their phones have been selling well so there's no need for them to spice up the design
