Samsung GT-I9515 seems to be a Galaxy S4 variant running Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Samsung GT-I9515 is a new and unannounced smartphone that’s been discovered in a benchmark test, as well as in the database of Zauba (which lists imports and exports to and from India).

The new handset’s model number, GT-I9515, is closely related to the model number of the original Samsung Galaxy S4 from last year (GT-I9500). Its features also seem to match the features of the old S4: 5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, and a 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 processor with Adreno 320 GPU.

However, unlike the Galaxy S4, the GT-I9515 appears to run Android 4.4.2 KitKat. Dutch website GalaxyClub speculates that this could be a Galaxy S4 Neo. Samsung has already introduced a Galaxy Grand Neo and a Galaxy Note 3 Neo, so maybe it’s also readying an S4 Neo.

Unfortunately, only Samsung knows for sure what the GT-I9515 is, and if it’s going to launch it anytime soon - or ever. In case you’re wondering, no, this is certainly not the Galaxy S4 Black Edition revealed last week (this one has the model number GT-I9505 and runs Jelly Bean).

Perhaps the GT-I9515 will be announced by Samsung later this month at MWC 2014. We’ll let you know if it happens.
