Galaxy s4 vs s4 mini
21/12/2012 21:16
We’ve seen many Samsung Galaxy S4 concepts on this site, but the idea of an S4 Mini is fresh and new. Ben Ling imagined both, with the result being the image below. We’re dealing with a 5 inch S4, nothing unpredictable, a model with a Full HD Super AMOLED Plus TFT display, with Gorilla Glass 2 protection.
The Galaxy S4 Mini is a 4.55 inch smartphone, also with a Super AMOLED TFT screen, but a HD one. TouchWiz UI is present on both and both support multitouch with up to 10 fingers. The bigger S4 uses a quad core 1.9 GHz CPU, while the smaller one goes down to 1.5 GHz. At the back we have a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash and an 8 megapixel shooter respectively, both with 16x digital zoom and 1080p video recording. Other specs include Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 2 GB of RAM, NFC, 16/32/64 GB of storage.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 specs include a Li-Ion 2500 mAh battery, while the S4 Mini adopts a Li-Ion 2100 mAh one. Finally we get LTE and a waistline of 9.1 mm and 8.9 mm respectively. The device is a bit less rounded than the S3 and features totally capacitive buttons below the screen, so Samsung has supposedly given up the physical Home button. Doable or not?

galaxy s4
21/12/2012 21:11
Deviantart user Alessio94x has created a very interesting Samsung Galaxy S4 concept, that you can check out below, in two versions. He created two different versions of the camera sensor area, with the second one below being the more elegant and also larger one.

The handset looks pretty simplistic, minimalistic and feels like a comfortable thing to hold. I imagine that the back gives out a velvet-style feeling or it uses that nice finishing material that the BlackBerry PlayBook had for example. The camera at the back of the Galaxy S4 features a dual LED flash and if I were to guess, I’d say that Samsung would finally jump to 10 or 12 megapixels this time. There’s also a discrete front camera and a very neatly integrated Home button too. I supposed that near it we find the usual Back and Menu buttons.
Since we’re going deeper into the future, this model could run Android 4.3 or Android 5.0 or whatever Key Lime Pie ends up being. It should also have LTE on board, NFC and an evolved version of the Nature UX, a new Smart Stay and definitely a new S Voice, that was a bit disappointing. The battery couldn’t hurt an upgrade as well. As far as CPU goes, an ARM Cortex A15 of the Exynos kind would be fine. When it comes to diagonal, everyone is talking about 5 inches, but what about the sweet spot of the Galaxy Nexus, at 4.65 inches? Could this Samsung Galaxy S4 take on the iPhone 5S?

Note 2 plus
21/12/2012 21:08
Designer Ben Ling proposes a very slight update to the Galaxy Note II, that is supposed to hit the USA stores soon. He imagined the Samsung Galaxy Note II Plus, a device that keeps about 80% of the specs of the predecessor and adds minor changes. One of them is replacing the physical Home button with a touch one and another is making the device less elongated, from what I can see.

We’re still dealing with a 5.5 inch phablet with a Super AMOLED TFT display and Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection. The screen here supports a 720p resolution and on board we find a quad core 1.7 GHz Exynos 4412 processor, as well as a Mali 400 MP GPU. The OS of choice is Android 4.1.1. Jelly Bean with the promise of updating to Android 4.2 ASAP. TouchWiz is applied on top of the OS and at the back of the device we find a 12 megapixel camera with LED flash and 16x digital zoom.
The camera is capable of 1080p HD video recording and there’s also a front 2 megapixel camera, with 1080p capture as well. Inside the phablet we find a Li-Ion 3300 mAh battery and other features available include 16/32/64 GB of storage, 2 GB of RAM, NFC and Bluetooth 4.0. The S Pen stylus is kept and the thickness of the device is 9.3 mm. Would you buy a Note II with these small upgrades?

Nexus 10
21/12/2012 21:06
The Nexus 10 tablet has been in the rumors for a while now and leaks are becoming more and more detailed. Some specs have leaked online and before we get a press picture of the device there are some mockups of the 10 inch Nexus tablet I’d like to show you. They’re made by Deviantart user CapuchinoMedia, who imagined the fresh family of Nexus devices.

At the bottom we have the LG Nexus 4, the smallest of the gang, then the Nexus 7 and finally the Nexus 10, that seems to adopt the same industrial design as the Nexus 7. From what I’ve heard the new model will be made by Samsung and it may end up looking like the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and a bit like the Galaxy Note 10.1. Rumored specs include a dual core Cortex A15 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and a crazy good 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, courtesy of Samsung technology.
At the back there should be a 5 megapixel camera and other usual features include NFC, WiFi, dual speakers at the front and a front facing camera. The OS here will most likely be Android 4.2, just like on the LG Nexus 4. Hopefully the model will be reasonably priced, although that’s pretty hard with such strong hardware. Tomorrow we’ll be back with some leaked pics of the Nexus 10 tablet, but till then you have these mockups. Do you like them?

Glaxy tab 3
21/12/2012 21:02
Who other than Bob Freking can imagine the future flagship Samsung tablet? The designer claims that the Galaxy Note isn’t for everyone and nor is the Galaxy Note 10.1. So, this is where the Galaxy Tab III comes in, born from the need of the people to get the pure Galaxy Tab experience, without stylus action and all that… Here’s the device, with a pebble blue case:
This Samsung Galaxy Tab concept tablet features a 10.1 inch display with a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, a panel that Sammy has been rumored to be making for a while now. Inside we find a Cortex A15 Exynos 5 processor made by Samsung itself and promoted as the most potent CPU on the market, which is true. Gorilla Glass II is used here and the Galaxy S III Pebble Blue case, but in a bigger version. 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage and expandable memory complete the picture.
TouchWiz Nature UX is applied on top of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the device features a combo of 8 megapixel back camera and 1.9 MP cam at the front. The selling point of the device is the weight and waistline, only 500 grams and 8 mm respectively, making this one of the lightest and thinnest tablets ever. The cool thing is that the Galaxy Tab III is not made of plastic but rather made using super light aircraft metal like the Series 9 laptop line. Another appealing feature is the 15,000 mAh battery on board. Samsung is also supposed to be promising to keep the software update to date this time via OTA… Fancy this tablet?
