Samsung is bringing a new addition into the Galaxy family of Android mobile devices. The Galaxy Premier (which sounds like an awesome name for a Star Trek: The Next Generation starship, if you ask us) is a skinny, sleek model that aims to bring users a premium experience at a reasonable price, Samsung said in a release on the new model.

The company said its new phone builds on the design provenance of the Galaxy S II and III. The company has outfitted the smartphone with a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED display at a 720 x 1,280 resolution. The Galaxy Premier will ship with Android 4.01, Jelly Bean.

The phone also features face detection, voice activation for apps, and media-sharing features such as S Beam for fast file-swapping.
