Samsung Planning to Focus on Bada?
There’s a rumour circulating the web right now that come 2013 Samsung will ditch the Windows Phone platform and start pushing its very own Bada OS. Despite Samsungs claim that it has absolutely no intentions of picking up webOS and running with it on a “third time’s a charm” ideology, this rumour seems sketchy at best. There's also no mention of continued Android support, but we can't imagine Samsung turning their back on the Android platform.
Samsung Stratosphere on its Way
The Samsung Stratosphere has hit the FSS with some interesting specs. A 4 inch Super AMOLED display is always great to see from Samsung, the 5MP camera is pretty standard but we do like the inclusion of a 1.3MP front-facing camera. 2GB of internal storage is a bit disappointing but will be made up for with expandable memory. Although we’re as yet unsure if there will be a complimentary MicroSD card that comes with the phone or if it will be an additional cost. We’re also expecting to see it on nothing less than Android 2.3.4, so customers will be able to make good use of that front-facing camera with GTalk video support.
Samsung Galaxy Note Announced
Samsung has recently announced one of its newest upcoming toys: the Samsung Galaxy Note. The first thing one notices about the Galaxy Note is its unusual size. Sporting a whopping 5.3 inch 1280 x 800 display it’s difficult to say whether this device is a tablet or a phone, but whatever you’d call it it’s certainly grabbing a lot of attention.
Samsung Wave 3 Announced
Samsung’s made a few announcements at IFA recently and the Samsung Wave 3 is one of them. The Wave 3 is not a super high-end device like many of the handsets we’ve seen coming out of Samsung recently. However, that news in itself is a bit exciting considering that the Wave 3 sports a powerful 1.4GHz single core processor which outstrips even the iPhone 4 and many other current high-end devices.
LTE Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab 8.9
It seems that once Samsung churns out a great device the many international variations just don’t stop coming. Next in line to continue the trend are the Samsung Galaxy S II and, to a lesser extent, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 which Samsung has how confirmed will soon be available in LTE capable versions in the US.
Dual-Screen Samsung Handsets?
Samsung could be following in the footsteps of Kyocera and Sony in the field of dual-screen devices. We took an in-depth look in to the pros and cons of a dual screen device in a Kyocera Echo post a while back, and we’ve been fans of the Sony S2 tablet on paper since we first heard about it.
Samsung Galaxy S II US Launch Date
It’s taken a while, but the Samsung Galaxy S II finally has a likely US announcement date. That’s right, American customers will finally be able to purchase the already iconic and internationally successful Galaxy S II ‘superphone’. The believed launch will happen on August 29th during a major Samsung product announcement in New York.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Blocked in EU
As part of the ongoing (and ridiculous) saga of what is fast becoming known as the Patent Wars, Apple has successfully blocked the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy 10.1 tablet in the European Union, with the Netherlands being the sole exception. Any violation of this ban carries a maximum penalty of over $350k and possible jail time for Samsung executives if they are found to be allowing the continuance of sales.
Google Nexus S Review
The Google Nexus S is the first Google-branded phone manufactured by device giant Samsung. Running on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread out of the box and easily upgradeable to 2.3.4 in most countries, the 4 inch Nexus S has seen its fair share of popularity due to its unique outward design, solid specs and penchant for seeing Android updates ahead of the competition.
Samsung Galaxy Z Preview
Goodness knows the original Galaxy S had more versions of it than you could shake a stick at and, true to form, it looks like Samsung is taking the same path with the Galaxy S II. Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Z (I9103); the first semi-clone of the Galaxy S II. The Galaxy Z is a phone that sports a modern look and feel, but with a down-grading in both hardware and price when compared to Samsung’s new flagship phone of similar external design.
