Samsung Reveals New Phones and Naming System

With IFA rapidly approaching Samsung has leaked both a new naming system for their phones and a whole crop of devices with Gingerbread goodness. Read on for more.

Once of the big issues with Android is name and device confusion. When the average smartphone consumer walks into the store they are greeted with a multitude of devices with all levels of performance. Samsung is seeking to reduce this confusion with their new system. Here is how it is shaping up along with some upcoming phones.

First up is S class. The S stands for Super Smart and will include Sammy's top tier devices such as the Galaxy S II and phones from its popular Galaxy S series.

Next is the R class. Royal/Refined is the adjective assigned to this class and will be a premium balance of power, performance and quality.

The W (Wonder) class is next on the list and will be high quality strategic models. The upcoming phone in this class is one of the more impressive. The Galaxy W will sport a 1.4GHz processor, 3.7" screen, Gingerbread and will be preloaded with Samsung's social and music hubs.

Following the W class will be the M(Magical) class of Galaxy phones. The M Pro will be geared towards young professionals. It will sport a 1GHz processor, 2.66" screen, Gingerbread, 5MP rear facing camera w/ front facing as well. The M Pro will come with Exchange Active Sync and CISCO Mobile and WebEx support for business use. It will also have a full QWERTY keyboard and optical trackpad for ease of use.

Finally there will be the Y (Youth) class. These phones will be aimed at young people and will carry entry level specs. The Galaxy Y will have an 800 MHz processor, 3" screen, 2MP camera and WiFi. It will come with a range of social applications preinstalled and Swype keyboard for ease of use among today's youth. There will also be a Galaxy Y Pro with full QWERTY keyboard for those who prefer this form factor. It looks like Samsung will be dropping all kinds of Android in the upcoming months so keep your eyes peeled for this crop of phones!

Galaxy S II and Nexus Prime spotted on Samsung Leak??!!

Last week right here on AndroREV we reported on a leaked Samsung roadmap that alluded to both the Galaxy S II and the upcoming Nexus Prime! Both of these phones are two of the most highly anticipated devices dropping this year, so what does this leak entail? Here is all the information.

When this leak first appeared Sammy denied the whole roadmap but the same phones with the same specs are reappearing now with release dates so the leak appears legit. Here is the phone list-

-GT-I8150 (W40) Android 2.3.3, 3.7-inch 480×800 display, HSDPA network support, 4GB of memory, 1.4GHz processor, 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD recording.

-GT-B5510 (W41) Android 2.2.2 smartphone with 2.8-inch display, 800MHz processor, QWERTY keyboard, 3MP camera. -GT-S5360 (W42) Android 2.3.3, 3-inch screen with 240×320 resolution, 2MP camera.

-GT-S5610 (W42) Android 2.3.3, 2.4-inch 320×240 display, 5MP camera, 150 MB of internal memory and support for HSDPA networks.

-GT-I9220 (W43) Android 2.3.3, 4.3-inch 1280×720 Super AMOLED display, 1.4Ghz dual-core processor and 8MP camera. -P6200 (W44) Honeycomb tablet with 7-inch 1024×600 Super AMOLED display, HSDPA support, 3MP rear camera, 2MP front facing.

-P6210 (W44) Honeycomb tablet, 7-inch 1024×600 Super AMOLED display, WiFi, 3MP rear camera, 2MP front facing.

-GT-I9210 (W48) Android 2.3.3, 4.5-inch 480×800 Super AMOLED display, supports 4G networks, 16 GB of memory, 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and front facing 2MP, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi b/g/n and 1750 mAh battery.

-GT-I9250 (W48) Android Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.65-inch 1280×720 Super AMOLED display, 5MP camera.

There are a number of phones on this leak from entry level to super phone but lets examine a couple. The GT-I9220 has all the specs of the Galaxy S II and has a release date listed of October 24-30. With a big announcement planned for the end of the month it looks like the Galaxy S II will be unveiled then to lineup with this release date. The big news from this leak is the GT-I9250. Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.65" 1280x720 Super AMOLED display are all specs that we reported would be on board the Nexus Prime here. Some of you out there may not be please with the larger screen size but remember one of the features of ICS is the removal of physical buttons on your phone. This would allow the screen to be extended to include the real estate occupied by your capacitive buttons. Yes Please!! The other news from this leak that may be disappointing is the release date for this beast. Yes November 28-December 4th is listed as the release date which goes against the rumored October dates that have been floating around . However from the specs in this leak and others the Nexus Prime will be well worth the wait!!

Samsung Celox is Real... told ya!

Celox is A Beast!
Well last week I reported on a certain leaked road map that included a whole slew of Android phones coming with model numbers and all. In response to the publication of said leaked list Samsung made a statement claiming the leak was a fake. Well that afternoon in conversations with some of the folks and on my google plus account gplus.to/MarvinFerrell I immediately responded saying the leaked list was real and after talking to a good and knowledgeable friend of mine it turned out the list was indeed real. So here we are with the GT-I9210 aka Celox and if you go HERE and check the aforementioned leaked road map you will clearly see that phone clear as day. What does that say for the rest of the phones on the list including the one I told you guys to watch the GT-I9250, well I'll let you put two and two together on that one for yourselves. Spec sheet below.

I'll of course keep you posted on this one for sure folks

Epic 4G Gbread build EE06 Leaks To The Masses

Ok Samsung really need to call a plumber to fix all these leaks and another one has found it's way into the hands of the community. It's a little soon to know exactly how useful the leak will be but it's news worthy so nonetheless. If someone grabs and it let us know how it goes. I'm almost certain if it's a usable build we we will see some new ROM's with it at the base. The Epic is till going strong. It's still a top tier handset in my honest opinion. What do you guys think?

Jkeene Reports:T-Mobile HTC Ruby Details in the Wild!!

Look out Galaxy S 2 you are not the only upcoming super phone on T-Mobile. You had to know that HTC wasn't going to go quietly into the night! Details on the upcoming HTC Ruby have been slowly trickling out and now we have a full spec list out as reported by Pocket Now, and it is quite impressive.

The Ruby is set to drop by the end of the year and may very well be the brother phone to the upcoming Verizon HTC Vigor that we reported on here. The Ruby will come to bat with a 4.3 qHD display, Android 2.3 Gingerbread and a 2MP camera up front and 8MP camera in the rear. Internally the phone will have a 1.5GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, and Bluetooth 3.0. HTC Sense will be on board but as to what version remains to be seen. One more thing, this phone will have dedicated buttons for camera and video functions, that doesn't sound like a big deal but I for one have missed having a dedicated camera button in this world of soft keys! The only things not currently known is an exact release date and if the phone will have 4G radios on board although with these specs that is almost a guarantee!

Samsung Roadmap Proves Ice Cream Sandwich Close At Hand ?

Ice Cream! Get Your Bowls People....
If you've never visited the site Samfirmware some of the more interesting rumors and leaks regarding good ole Sammy can be found there. You may recall me sharing an article I wrote based on their information on the bendable Galaxy phones Samsung is supposed to be cooking up. What I found for you today is a list of Samsung devices to come including some of the most spectacular specs I've ever viewed and none other than Ice Cream Sandwich. If you don't know rumors of late are abound that the new version of the Android Mobile Operating System will be available in time for the release of the iphone 5. Since the iphone 5 is already outclassed by most of the Android phones around right now this is a good thing for us Androidians. The advantage of the Android Eco System is that the competitors development life cycle is too slow.

Google leaks Its Own Search Update??

Search App Refinements from the Folks at Mountain View

Google Search is the most used search engine in the world today. It receives several hundred million search requests everyday. Think about that, several hundred MILLION! If you are reading this blog then chances are you have an Android device that is made to Google Search all day! For all these searches Google has not updated its mobile search engine app in almost a year, 10 months to be exact. From the looks of it, that is all bout to change.

A new update to the Google Search has been outed by surprisingly it seems Google its self. An update was posted this morning to its mobile blog and just as quickly taken down. This update showed that not only is Google working on a new Search app but that it should be here any day. Although the post was only up a short time some information can be gleaned. There will be some changes to the Search UI to make it more user friendly, faster and more consistent searches, and results based upon your location. These results will also be specific to the country you are currently in and will allow you to delete your search history with a long press and hold. The update will be coming for anyone on Android 2.2+ so keep an eye out, the folks at Mountain View will not sit on this for long! Remember you heard it here first!!!
