Samsung has a new phone in the works, and the rumor that it's a Windows Phone handset has just been corroborated by one more source.
But the serial tipster with the Twitter account @evleaks has also added some new details, including the claim that the new Samsung phone is for Verizon.
On top of that, it's even got a code name now: "Huron." So we can stop referring to it as the Samsung SM-W750V.
Finally - and this may be the most tantalizing tidbit - the Samsung "Huron" apparently "looks very similar to a late model Galaxy S."
Smile, Huron candid camera
From what's known so far it seems the Samsung Huron may be a high end 5-inch 1080p Windows Phone smartphone.
Strangely, "Huron" was also the name of an old Intel processor, though that may be nothing more than a coincidence.
The Samsung SM-W750V first popped up in December, when the device's model number appeared on an India website's shipping manifesto.
Granted, that was pretty thin; but in January it appeared again, and this time with more specs and firmer ground to stand on.
Opposite day
Samsung has been focused on Android for some time, while Nokia has enjoyed being king of the Windows Phone scene.
But it's not like these are wholly unexplored waters for Samsung - its last Windows Phone handset was the Ativ S, after all.
Conversely, Nokia was rumored recently to be working on an Android phone. It's truly a crazy world.
