Remember when we reported a while ago that Samsung's Galaxy S4 was part of a mysterious "Project J?" Well, it seems that Project J encompasses more than just the high-end flagship device, and in fact includes a Galaxy S4 Mini and a smartwatch as part of the package.
Project J looks to be a trifecta of Android goodness - Project J Altius, GT-I9500, is the Galaxy S4; Project J Mini Serrano happens to be the Galaxy S4 Mini; and Project J Active Fortius should be an upcoming smartwatch by Android. The information comes to us via SamMobile, which first revealed the existence of "Project J." SamMobile goes on to state that they have received a list of accessories that will be made available for each device:
Project J Altius:
- Clear Cover
- Flip Cover
- Protective Cover
- Pouch
- Extra Battery Kit
- Battery 2600mAh
- Wireless Charging Kit
- HDTV Adapter
- Headset
Project J Mini Serrano:
- Clear Cover
- Flip Cover
- Protective Cover
Project J Active Fortius:
- Arm Band
- Bike Mount
- Pouch
So there you have it. If this report is indeed true (Samsung, naturally, hasn't commented on the rumors yet), then Samsung fans will be getting a real treat soon. Samsung is expected to hold a Mobile Unpacked event sometime in March, after Mobile World Congress in February, to announce the Galaxy S4. There's no telling whether the Galaxy S4 Mini and the smartwatch will debut at the same time (nor are there any specs floating around on the two of them), although if you remember, Samsung released the Galaxy S3 Mini months after it launched the Galaxy S3.
The Galaxy S4 should start shipping out in April, and land Stateside by May/June. It will come with a 5-inch 1080p display and is rumored to utilize Samsung's Exynos Octa eight-core CPU.
