The smartphone packs a 3000mAh battery that claims to give up to 12 hours of video playback time. Audio playback can last up to 78 hours, and continuous talk time (3G WCDMA) can last up to 21 hours, Samsung claims.

Currently, the Samsung Galaxy Wide has been launched only in South Korea, with no information on pricing and availability in other markets. Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy Wide caries the model number SM-G600S, which is identical to the Galaxy On7 launched last year. The specs are also identical, indicating that the Galaxy Wide is just a rebranded variant for the Korean market.

Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to disclose its estimates for second-quarter earnings on Thursday and analysts are predicting a 13 percent jump in operating profit from the same period a year earlier. The Korean manufacturer is poised to issue guidance for its best quarterly profit in more than two years, propelled by a surge in mobile earnings on the back of robust sales of its flagship Galaxy S7 smartphones.
