There are also rumors going around which were based on a leaked roadmap that pointed towards a separate device, otherwise known as the i9210, which would carry similar hardware albeit targeting different markets or carriers. No idea on whether the i9210 is a regional variant or it is based on different hardware, but we guess that time will reveal all.
It is also tipped that both handsets will run on dual-core 1.5GHz processors which hail from Qualcomm, sporting 1GB RAM and 16GB of internal memory, coupled with an 8-megapixel camera at the back and a 2-megapixel front facing camera. It will be powered by Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread so you need not wait for an update after purchasing it.
