Smart Skins for Smartphones
Samsung has seen its fair share of accusations when it comes to a lack of originality with external design. In many cases these have been justified claims, generally relating to the similarities that can be drawn between many of Samsung’s devices and the popular iPhone line.
ICS Headed to Galaxy S II March 10
It’s about time. Beginning on March 10, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) will be rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S II devices around the world. This rollout is for the global version of the GS2 and thus won’t help out most US owners, but there should hopefully be an update for the current 3 different Galaxy S II variants on the US market soon.
The Samsung Galaxy Beam is Cool
You’re probably sick by now of hearing us lament over the lack of niche phones in the market and the seemingly unrelenting pushing forward of processing power without much effort going to enhancing other areas of smartphone performance or even offering something completely new. Fortunately for us big companies like Samsung do occasionally come out with something intriguing and of late it even seems to be becoming more of a trend, with intriguing shinies cropping up with more and more regularity. The latest Samsung piece of interest is the Samsung Galaxy Beam, but first we'd like to point out some of the other cool stuff we've been seeing in the past year or so.
Samsung Galaxy S III Specs Unveiled
There have been almost as many rumors running around the web about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III than about the soon-to-be-launched iPad 3. Now, finally, we’re getting some pretty viable information about what we can expect from Samsung’s next flagship device.
Samsung Announces 7" Galaxy Tab 2
Samsung has unveiled the 7 inch Galaxy Tab 2, the successor to its first 7 inch foray in to the Android tablet market back in 2010. Since then Samsung has had moderate success mixed with extreme legal difficulties with its more recent Galaxy Tab devices, specifically the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
White Galaxy Nexus S in the UK
It’s been a while coming but the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has been confirmed for a mid-February release in the UK. No word yet on when the rest of the world will see the snowy counterpart of the world’s first Ice Cream Sandwich device, but we hope it shouldn’t be too long.
Galaxy S III Could See May Release
While we’re now pretty certain that the Samsung Galaxy S III will not be seen at the upcoming Mobile World Congress even in Barcelona, rumors are starting to circulate about a late April/early May release. Whether or not the news is true is anyone’s guess right now, but it certainly doesn’t seem too far-fetched. Although it’s true that Samsung did recently release the Galaxy Nexus, it’d be within past trends for Samsung to not consider that as a suitable flagship device and roll out a more specifically Samsung-branded Galaxy S II sometime soon.
MWC Predictions: Samsung and HTC
A few of our readers have asked us what they can expect to be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Conference (MWC) in Barcelona. The unfortunate truth about big expos like the MWC is that it’s almost impossible to separate rumor from truth in the lead up. As such we can’t give any definite predictions, but here are some of the more viable rumors we’ve heard floating around the web in recent months.
White Galaxy Nexus Coming to the UK
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has already seen some pretty widespread popularity across the mobile market, making up a generous percentage of the 0.6% of Android handsets to currently run Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). Now, come February 6th, it’s going to be available in white for UK customers.
Galaxy Ace Plus Announced
Continuing in the long line of confusingly similarly named handsets is Samsung’s recently announced Galaxy Ace Plus. As is inferred by the moniker, the Galaxy Ace Plus is the newest model in the Galaxy Ace line. If you’re unfamiliar with the original Samsung Galaxy Ace, it’s basically a budget option of the more popular Samsung Galaxy S product line for folks who don’t feel the need to spend top dollar on a new smartphone, but still don’t want last-year’s model.
