Teasing new features for the Galaxy Note 4 ahead of its public launch, or hints at a round Gear smartwatch, aren’t enough for the company, it seems, as they’ve got their sights set on expanding another lineup as well.

According to a report published by SamMobile, the recently launched Galaxy Alpha won’t be the only device with a Galaxy or “A” in the title. The new report claims that there will be at least three new devices added to the mix, all with the “Galaxy A” brand tied to them. They were found through a UA Profile, and indicate the upcoming launch of the SM-A300, SM-A500 and SM-A700. These are devices that will look, apparently, similar to the Galaxy Alpha in some way or another, and feature metal in some capacity.

As you can imagine from the product numbers, the SM-A300 is apparently a handset that will be somewhere in the entry-level market, and feature a display resolution of 960×540. The SM-A500 and SM-A700 may boast 720p HD displays, though. It doesn’t look like Samsung’s looking to fill the top-tier, flagship niche with these A-brand devices. It should be noted that these handsets may boast high-quality front-facing cameras.

The handsets are rumored to be announced in the third quarter of 2014, so it’s possible that we see them at IFA. If the timetable stands, though, we’d have to see them in September at some point.
