Samsung's MWC 2013 invitations assures us of new Galaxy devices!

The world's largest showcase of mobile devices, the Mobile World Congress, is just around the corner. From Feb. 25 - 28, Samsung will be there in Barcelona, Spain for the event and will be showing us their new Galaxy devices (or device). If rumors hold water, then the Korean-giant won't unveil yet to the world their 2013 Android flagship device (the Galaxy S IV) which is rumored to be announced by the phonemaker in April.

The Samsung Galaxy Express

Samsung has announced, what I believe is their second device in 2013. The Samsung Galaxy Express adds to Samsung's already huge family of 4G LTE capable device. It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM. Like most Samsung devices that are unveiled via a press release, the Galaxy Express does not have with it the day when it will be launched nor the price it will be wearing. Anyway, head after the break to check out the Galaxy Express' specs. I should say, it's a mid-range device that packs a punch.

The Samsung Galaxy S III finally gets its Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update! Download now!

The time Samsung announced that the they will be bringing to the Galaxy S III the features found on the Galaxy Note II like that amazing, multi-window feature, every SGS III owner, I believe, was excited. Yesterday, a lot of people from my circle have posted on social networks that they already have the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update on their devices which puts Samsung's promise into reality. Now, the Galaxy S III is at part (software-wise) with the Galaxy Note II with this update. Both devices are already on this version of the OS since the SGN2 was updated a week or so ago. So, SGS III owners who still did not update, start downloading, this probably is a 260MB download like the Note II's so I suggest you do the downloading either via WiFi or on your PC with Samsung Kies.

Thanks to Emman for the tip!

Who's waiting for the Galaxy S III Mini? Will be available in the Philippines by next week!

Philippines! Samsung Mobile Philippines has announced that the little brother of the Galaxy S III will be available in the country by next week. The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, announced last year is really a mini. Sporting a much smaller screen and a less powerful CPU, the device is perfect for the average smartphone user. Priced at Php 14,990, the Galaxy S III Mini should perfectly fit your budget.

Samsung sells 100,000,000 Galaxy S smartphones!

Yup! Samsung has sold 100,000,000 Galaxy S devices all around the world! You might get this wrong so I'm going to make things clearer. Samsung, the Korean-giant slowly taking over the mobile world, has sold its 100,000,000th GALAXY S device. The Galaxy S line of smartphones by Samsung is the company's Flagship Android smartphone. So, when news tells you so, it basically means that if you combine all the global sales of the Galaxy S (the first ever Galaxy S smartphone), the Galaxy S II, and the Galaxy S III you'd be arriving at 100,000,000. A minute after you read this, that'd probably be 100,000,001. According to Samsung's press release, the break down of this number is as follows...

Samsung announced the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa an 8-core applications processor

The world's best maker of applications processors has done it again. After being able to spit out the best mobile processor in 2012 with the Samsung Exynos 4 Quad (found in the Galaxy S III and the Note II), the Korean-giant has announced at CES 2013, the next iteration of their Exynos line of processors, the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa. Yup, Octa which means? 8-cores. 

Samsung plans to ship 510 million phones in 2013

The Korean Times has reported that the Korean-phone maker, Samsung, has announced that they plan to ship 510 million phones by 2013. That is surpassing their 2012 total shipment of 420 million devices. Samsung in 2012 has already grabbed the greater chunk of the global market share in both smartphones and feature phones, being the #1 phone/smartphone manufacturer. With that plan of shipping 510 million devices, Samsung said that it will be comprising 390 million as smartphones and 120 million as feature phones. Also, Samsung said that with that number it expects to contribute 29% of global shipment of mobile devices. With the Samsung Galaxy S IV ready to be announced at MWC 2013, this should not be a problem for Samsung. All they really have to do is to keep on spitting out stellar devices in 2013 and this trend will apparently continue.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand

Samsung, before the world ended, announced the Samsung Galaxy Grand. This device, is probably the Korean-based company's last device to be announced for 2012, assuming they won't announce anything else in 2012. The Galaxy Grand, looks like a Galaxy S II (one of those versions in the US) and  runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box. Carrying these things plus the fact that the device is actually a dual-SIM smartphone, the Galaxy Grand is probably a smartphone targeted for the Chinese, Korean, Philippine, and Indian market. But of course expect Samsung to be launching this on other markets aside from those I mentioned since this device also comes in a single-SIM version.

Beautiful on the Outside and the Inside - Innards of the Galaxy Note II

Most, if not all, people will not really bother how their devices look like inside the casing and the screen. What matters most, really, is how the device looks outside. Samsung, released a photo on their Samsung Tomorrow site on how the Galaxy Note II's innards look like. You be the judge, is the Galaxy Note II's innards as pretty as how the phablet looks like from the outside with casing on?

The smartest smartphone just got even smarter - Premium Suite upgrade for the Galaxy S III

Yup! The world's smartest smartphone just got even smarter. I know that the Galaxy Note II is a brilliant device, who wouldn't agree with me on that if it carries all the features you would want in a smartphone that is just smaller than the Note II? Well, Samsung heard you all. The maker of the most brilliant smartphone will be bringing that Premium Suite software onto the Galaxy S III making the S3 even more brilliant that it already is. The Korean-based company posted a demo video about it (part 1). Watch the video and S3 users will definitely be waiting for this.
