Samsung may be gearing up for the launch of a new device in the U.S. as the company has filed for a trademark at United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the brand name "Galaxy J7 Sky Pro."
The request has already been accepted by the USPTO and an examining attorney will be assigned within three months of filing.
The has been no further information about the device other than the official filling which can be seen on USPTO's website. It is unclear how this device is going to be different from the Samsung Galaxy J7 or why the moniker "Sky Pro" has been used in the brand name.
Tech enthusiasts are not even sure if the name belongs to a smartphone, but given that the name says Galaxy J7 it may be safe to assume that "Sky Pro" is a variant of the smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) And "Sky Pro" Same?
There have been speculations of Samsung launching the Galaxy J7 (2017) in U.S. via carriers like Verizon, U.S. Cellular and AT&T.
Now rumors are rife that Samsung may plan to launch Galaxy J7 (2017) under the name Galaxy J7 Sky Pro.
The Galaxy J7 (2017) has already surfaced on Geekbench, which is a benchmarking website, and even prior to that some renders of the device have been leaked online. The smartphone has been granted the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification as well. A few days ago, the Galaxy J7 (2017) was also spotted on GFXBench.
Galaxy J7 (2017) Rumored Specs
While nothing has been officially confirmed by Samsung, some specifications and features of the Galaxy J7 (2017) leaked out after the handset appeared on Geekbench and more recently GFXBench.
Previous and recent leaks suggest that the device may sport a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. While both the benchmarking sites reveal that the Galaxy J7 (2017) may come with 2 GB of RAM, there are contradictory reports regarding its processor.
The Geekbench listing notes that the rumored smartphone will house a Snapdragon 625 processor, whereas the recent GFXBench listing shares that the handset will come with an Exynos 7870 CPU. Previous leaks also suggest that the battery fueling the handset will be a 3000 mAh one.
It seems that the Galaxy J7 (2017), which is the successor of the Galaxy J7 (2016), may be launched as the Galaxy J7 Sky Pro in the U.S. in the near future. Only once Samsung launches the Galaxy J7 Sky Pro the mystery will be solved.
