Is Samsung already preparing its next Galaxy Note device?
Sam Mobile, a website reporting on Samsung devices and rumors, recently digged some evidence about two upcoming handsets.
In its exclusive report, Sam Mobile revealed that the Korean giant might be releasing at least two new devices -- one with a model number SM-G928S and another with model number SM-N920F. The report cited an alleged IMEI database detailing about one of the handsets.
According to Sam Mobile's trusted sources, the device with model number SM-G928S would be a new variant of the recently released Galaxy S6 while the other the SM-N920F would be the new Galaxy Note 5.
"It appears that the SM-G928S is a new variant of the Galaxy S6 as the model number makes it clear that's a derivative of an existing model rather than a new model altogether, model numbers reveal that the new variant will at least make its way to South Korea, the US and certain markets in Europe. On the other hand the SM-N920F is likely the Galaxy Note 5, since the Galaxy Note 4 carried model number SM-N910x. Our sources have informed us that internally the new Galaxy S6 variant is being referred to as Project Zen, while the next-generation Galaxy Note handset is known as Project Noble," to quote Sam Mobile's actual report.
Project Zen? Project Noble? Does it sound right? If you can still remember, Samsung reportedly used the codename "Project Zero" for its new Galaxy S6 device. It was also Sam Mobile which revealed about the Project Zero, claiming it would be Samsung's "Next Big Thing." It also noted that Samsung named its major projects with letters before. Project J was for Galaxy S4, Project H for the Galaxy Note 3, Project K for the Galaxy S5, and Project T for the Galaxy Note 4.
Anyway, here's a more detailed list of model numbers for the alleged Project Zen and Project Noble (courtesy of Sam Mobile):
