After numerous rumors and leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Premier has finally been officially announced by Samsung Ukraine. Aimed at Eastern European markets, the Galaxy Premier combines mid-to-high-end smartphone internals with the latest software from Google and Samsung.
The Galaxy Premier packs a 4.65-inch, 1280x720 HD SuperAMOLED display, and is powered by a 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4 CPU, backed up by 1GB of RAM. You've also got 16GB of storage, expandable via a microSD slot, an 8MP rear camera and 1.9MP front-facer. On the software side, you're looking at Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and Samsung's latest TouchWiz UI.
At one point the Galaxy Premier was rumored as a possible Samsung Nexus device, owing to its product number (GT-i9260) being similar to that of the Galaxy Nexus. Instead, it merely looks like Samsung's re-using some Galaxy Nexus components in its latest mid-range handset. Unfortunately for all of us who after disappointment with Galaxy S III mini were looking for Galaxy SIII with SII screen size, we need to keep looking. |

New Nexus smartphone is coming, and instead of Samsung, LG is manufacturer. New Nexus is a bit different story than previous in terms of hardware platform. Last one, display size aside, was a bit of underdog compared to Android flagship devices from other manufacturers. This is not the case now, Nexus 4 is a very strong competitor, and will stay that way for some time. Tech specs are impressive: the phone features a 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 IPS display, a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor — which Google claims is the fastest on the market — an 8 megapixel camera and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera.

The new Samsung Chromebook is based an ARM chip (rather than Intel) which could help to explain the lower cost... It's a Exynos 5 Dual processor, which makes it the very first device to use ARM's new Cortex-A15 architecture. As far as the laptop goes, it connects to the internet solely via Wi-Fi, has an 11.6-inch screen, 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, and Bluetooth — and it has an SD card slot to expand storage further. It weighs 2.5 pounds and is 0.8 inches thick with two USB ports and an HDMI-out port. All of the internal specs are designed to keep the price down while keeping the speed up — Google is touting that it's able to run 1080p video at 30fps and SVP Sundar Pichai showed the product running a YouTube clip at that resolution.

 Samsung has released yet another Galaxy. This time, its a news they might have skipped. Galaxy Music is a 3" Android mobile phone. That's it. Rumors started circling about Beam functionality in this one, but it seems more likely that somebody copy/pasted specs form another phone, and forgot to clean it up. So, what is in the Music? First positive thing about the phone is Android 4.0. Single Core ARM on 850MHz, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage should be enough for an average user.

When we first saw and tried the new HTC phones, major impression was similarity to Nokia. HTC does have some features which make it a better choice, but the look and feel is so .. Nokia. It seems we were not the only ones to think this way. At this point, there is no official confirmation, but rumors lead us in that direction. In the meantime, Microsoft was quiet about this issue, not taking sides, as both companies are important partners in Windows 8 Mobile development. HTC declined to comment Nokia accusations, but cited Steve Ballmer's comment that "HTC Windows 8X phone is currently the best Windows Phone 8-based model unveiled thus far by a smartphone phone vendor.
