Samsung Galaxy Music officially unveiled, budget Android smartphone for music lovers

According to earlier reports, it was suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Music could be unveiled on the 11th of October alongside the Galaxy S3 Mini. However it looks like the cat got let out of the bag a bit earlier and Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Music. It looks pretty much like what the earlier leak suggested, so we guess no surprises there. As its name also suggests, this is a phone designed for the music lover in mind with dual-front stereo speakers, Sound Alive, SRS, Smart Volume, Music Hub, a dedicated music key as well as FM Radio and a built-in FM Antenna.

As far as the rest of its specs are concerned, it looks pretty low end with an 850MHz processor with 512MB of RAM, a 3” QVGA display, a 3MP camera, 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded via microSD, a 1,300mAh battery and will come with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board. Now the good news is that the Galaxy Music is expected to be bumped up to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean later, so this could be a pretty decent budget device for the Android user who also wants the latest version of the platform.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and Galaxy Music to be unveiled on the 11th of October?

Last week, an image of the Samsung Galaxy Music was spotted, although when exactly will we learn about the device in an official capacity remains to be seen but thanks to Samsung reportedly sending out invitations to an event on the 11th of October, perhaps that could be the date where more details will be revealed. It has also been speculated that the 11th of October date is when the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini will be revealed. According to the rumors, the Galaxy S3 Mini will feature a smaller (mini) display at 4”, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a dual-core CPU and will run on the latest version of Android which we’re assuming will be Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Allegedly dubbed the Galaxy S3 Mini, this device seems more the Galaxy S rather than the Galaxy S3, but perhaps it will feature the same design as the Galaxy S3 so we guess we will have to wait and see. The event will be taking place at the Samsung Mobile Store in Frankfurt so do check back with us on the 11th for the details!

According to SammyHub’s source, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy Music is in fact a smartphone. This device was listed on the list of devices that will be getting the upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and as the name has suggested, this will be a smartphone most likely aimed at the music enthusiast in mind.

While the device has yet to be announced, the source has revealed that some of its music-centric features include front-facing loudspeakers, a dedicated music button that will launch the music player, built-in FM antenna, SRS and Samsung’s proprietary SoundAlive technology, and is expected to be integrated with Samsung’s Music Hub service. Other alleged hardware specs include an 850MHz CPU, a 3” display with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory and will come with Android 4.0 which will be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean eventually.

Samsung Jelly Bean

Now that Samsung has commenced beaming Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA toward deserving Galaxy S III customers, it’s announced a raft of other devices set to receive the buttery OS in the near future. On the list are the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Music, Galaxy Chat, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Ace Plus, Galaxy mini II and Galaxy S Duos. That should bring a bit of extra speed and smoothness to those devices, along with Google Now for search and Samsung’s own flourishes from the latest TouchWiz UX. As for the rest of us, there’s more than one way to skin a Smartphone — or avoid skinning one, as the case may be.
