A day before yesterday, Samsung announced its another flagship namely Samsung Galaxy Wide 3 in Australia. The latest smartphone is the successor of Samsung Galaxy Wide and Wide 2 (entry level handsets). The Galaxy Wide 3 sports around a 720 x 1280 pixel 5.5-inches display as well as 1.6 GHz octa-core CPU on what is likely the Exynos 7870 Octa chipset.
