Samsung may be gearing up for the launch of a new device in the U.S. as the company has filed for a trademark at United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for the brand name "Galaxy J7 Sky Pro."

The request has already been accepted by the USPTO and an examining attorney will be assigned within three months of filing.

The has been no further information about the device other than the official filling which can be seen on USPTO's website. It is unclear how this device is going to be different from the Samsung Galaxy J7 or why the moniker "Sky Pro" has been used in the brand name.

Tech enthusiasts are not even sure if the name belongs to a smartphone, but given that the name says Galaxy J7 it may be safe to assume that "Sky Pro" is a variant of the smartphone.

Previous and recent leaks suggest that the device may sport a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. While both the benchmarking sites reveal that the Galaxy J7 (2017) may come with 2 GB of RAM, there are contradictory reports regarding its processor.
