Hasta La Gadget!

Remember the other day when it was rumored that Samsung could be announcing 8 new devices at MWC 2013? Well as it turns out, it looks like those rumors might hold a shred of truth after all. It seems at least six out of the eight alleged devices were spotted at the GLBenchmark website which at the very least confirms their model numbers. The devices spotted were the GT-I9150/GT-I9152 (Galaxy Fonblet 5.8), the GT-S5310/GT-S5312 (Galaxy Pocket), the GT-S5282 (Galaxy Star), the GT-S6310/GT-S6312 (Galaxy Young), the GT-S6810/GT-S6810P (Galaxy Frame) and last but not least, the GT-B9150 whose name has yet to be determioned.

These devices range from the very low end, such as the Galaxy Frame which only sports a rather outdated 480×320 display, to the more powerful which is the GT-B9150 which features a dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU clocked at 1.7GHz. Assuming these devices are announced at MWC, we guess we will have more details to share then, so be sure to check back with us for updates!

You may have seen that we covered a “Future of PlayStation” tweet+video from Sony earlier tonight. The date appeared conveniently close to Mobile World Congress (we’ll be there!), so we were dubious that this would be the actual launch of the PlayStation 4 (or Next PlayStation, if you prefer).

In any case, the Wall Street Journal says that Sony will indeed announce the next PlayStation on February 20th, and that the new console would be available by year’s end (supposedly November at the latest). It is surprising that Sony would potentially stall the sales of one of its profitable business for 10 months, but that’s what WSJ believes.

Don’t forget that Sony’s CEO said that the next PlayStation would come out after the next Xbox, but again, we doubt that Microsoft told Sony when the next Xbox would will out, and it could have been a ruse all along. If you remember the initial launch of the PS3, Sony was hurt by arriving to market one year after Xbox 360, so maybe the company does not want to see that ever again. I’ve re-included the video teaser in the full post – try to find any hidden clues if you want. The question is: do you believe WSJ (link: subscription required)? (more…)

Pocket-Lint has just dropped quite the bombshell – that South Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung will skip Mobile World Congress 2013 that is happening in Barcelona, Spain, next month. From what we gather, Samsung will still have a showfloor presence, but they will showcase no new products that are special to them. In a nutshell, you will not find the flagship Samsung Galaxy S4 make an appearance then, and according to whispers on the grapevine, the Galaxy S4 is tipped for a March 2013 event instead.

A March release of the Galaxy S4 would most probably allow it to be released or at least, announced in the market earlier compared to the next generation of the iPhone. From what we can tell, this is very much Samsung’s nature, and if we were to look back in time, MWC 2012 saw Samsung show off some rather mediocre or mid-range devices such as the Galaxy Beam, in addition to tablets like the Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy Note 10.1.

While we know Samsung’s planning plenty for us to see in Barcelona in a few weeks, we’re still not certain on the specifics. Perhaps, then, it’s got a handful of tablets for us. That’s what these handful of User Agent profiles purport to show us. The model numbers GT-P3200, GT-P5200 and the GT-P8200 suggest that they’ll join the Galaxy Tab family, although these profiles only give us a little detail to work on. The GT-P3200 appears to be the entry-level slab, with a 1,024 x 600 resolution more suited to tablets of yesteryear. This is cranked up to 1,280 x 800 for the P5200, while the GT-P8200 will apparently match the Nexus 10‘s pin-sharp 2,560 x 1,600 display.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing here to confirm screen-size, processing punch or much else, although we managed to sniff out an AnTuTu benchmark for the GT-P8200 that reckons it’ll house a (presumably multicore) 1.7GHz processor and Android 4.2. However, like these User Agent Profiles, we’re looking at these results with a suspicious glare until something more official surfaces. Between the trio, there’s likely to be a division between two different sizes of tablet — possibly either side of that Galaxy Note 8 that’s set to be make an appearance next month. Check out the GT-P8200’s short-but-sweet benchmark listing after the break.

Not quite content with the release of its Grand S earlier this month, ZTE looks to be preparing a new tablet to go along with that aforementioned flagship handset. The V81 — which will presumably make its official debut at this year’s Mobile World Congress — is, according to the company’s own website, said to be boasting an 8-inch (1,024 X 768) display with a dual-core, 1.4GHz CPU (mum’s the word on chipset specifics), 1GB RAM and 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded to up to 32GB via microSD. Speaking of which, other listed incisions include a full-size USB and HDMI, while a 3,700 mAh battery and Android Jelly Bean are also part of the relatively decent spec sheet. Naturally, pricing and availability details are still slim, but it shouldn’t be too long before we learn more on that front — in the meantime, there’s a gallery filled with V81 press shots after the break for you to peruse over.
