Samsung’s Huron device looks similar in design to the Galaxy S4, and has a dedicated home button with the Windows logo. *The handset, which features a model number SM-W750V, was seen on the GFXBench benchmark site, where it was found that the device will come with Qualcomm’s Adreno 305 GPU. The screen size of the device is said to be of 4.3 inches, with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 being considered. However, other rumors suggest that the handset will feature a full-HD screen.*

Late last month, it was revealed that Microsoft was paying Samsung, Huawei, Sony and other manufacturers over $2 billion to launch Windows Phone handsets this year. It was later confirmed by Microsoft’s communications lead, Frank X. Shaw. While he did say that the organization undertook co-marketing initiatives, he claimed that the numbers quoted were incorrect.
