Good morning (just!) everybody!
As some of you may have seen, and for those who haven't yet, Samsung have announced that their first 'Unpacked' event of the year will be at Barcelona on Feb 21st and with them using the hashtag #TheNextGalaxy in their video title, it's not difficult to imagine what this new product will be, but what could be tricky is guessing exactly what new tech or changes & improvements we'll see.
As some of you know, i'll be out at Barcelona for MWC. Typically these events are difficult to be a part of if not a member of press but I've been lucky enough to have secured an invite to this, so i'll be live updating everyone on this new device as and when it happens, in person - Hopefully i'll be able to snap some exclusive photos for the O2 Community too showing the device in all its glory.
Placeholder specsheet below - will be updated in as real-time as can be:
CPU: Octacore - 2.3GHz Quad & 1.6GHZ Quad

Speaking with the Samsung guys here, I'm told that it will be the SD820 CPU for Asian and European markets. I'll do my best to verify over next few hours/days. They weren't able to shed any light on the Exynos I'm afraid.
Keep an eye on our shop pages for tariffs and offers folks
Edit: Exynos confirmed for UK market
