NTT DoCoMo, Japan's largest wireless carrier, dropped the Samsung Galaxy S4 this summer due to poor sales, but it's reportedly coming back as a souped-up variant fit for Japan.
Known as the Galaxy J, the phone features 3GB of RAM and a 2.3Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, according to a leaked brochure obtained by Japanese-language site RBMen.
That's a significant bump over the 2GB of memory and 1.9 GHz Snapdragon 600 CPU found in the LTE edition of the Galaxy S4.
The color options of the feature-rich Galaxy J are said to be white, pink and blue, and it may include 1Seg TV tuner to boot.
That's closer to the specs of the Galaxy Note 3, but with a smaller S4-style screen. For those who still want the 5.7-inch display, the Note 3 is also said to be coming to Japan.
Sony Xperia, LG G2
The leaked NTT DoCoMo brochure also claims that a pair of Xperia Z1 variants are bound for Japan.
The Sony Xperia Z1 SO-01F is basically the Xperia Z1 in all of its 20.7 megapixel glory. The only difference we see is a storage increase from 16GB of internal space to 32GB.
The Sony Xperia Z1 f SO-02F slims the phone down to a 4.3-inch display. Same Snapdragon 800 2.2 Ghz quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and waterproof and dustproof features all around.
It looks like NTT DoCoMo also intends to support the LG G2 with no variation highlighted between the Western and Japanese models in the brochure.
The predominant Japanese carrier is expected to officially announce its winter-spring smartphone models on Oct. 10, which pretty much means Oct. 9 everywhere else when we find out for sure.
