Two variants of the device have been announced, both of which will have an octa-core processor.
A dual-SIM/3G version of the device will use Qualcomm’s MSM8x39, while the single SIM LTE version will use Samsung’s own Exynos 5430 + M7450 system-on-chip.
It won’t launch with the latest iteration of Android, but will run on the 4.4 “KitKat” version of Google’s mobile operating system.
