My Galaxy S4 Bluetooth detected an available device I'm unable to identify. Here's what I'm seeing:

My device: SPH-L720
Available devices: SGH-A697

What is the SGH-A697? A Google search reveals this as a smartphone, but that's rather redundant. I'm not aware of any other Bluetooth devices I have within the vicinity, other than a Sony HDTV and Canon all-in-one printer (both very new).

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Any chance you have a neighbor with their bluetooth set to always-on?

Really the only explanation I can think of.

You could try going for a walk around the block while scanning for bluetooth devices to be sure. Just a suggestion. :)
