Samsung releases Galaxy S IV ads forgoes mocking the iPhone and focuses on its features

In the US, the Samsung Galaxy S IV is yet to arrive. Well, the device is yet to see daylight in store shelves actually. Anyway, Samsung already have their TV ads for their superphone read for airing. Last year, with the Galaxy S III, Samsung's ads for the smartphone was all about mockery against the competition. This year, Samsung forgoes mocking them and focuses on the features of the device. Watch these ads right after the break.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

The larger and the more specs-packed of the two Galaxy Megas announced today, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3. It has to be noted that these smartphones/phablets are not Samsung's high-end devices. That title is still owned by the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note lines. True enough, both the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and this, the Galaxy Mega 6.3 are only powered by a dual-core processor telling us that these devices should give you stellar performance with large displays at a lower cost. Anyway, both devices will be available in may starting in Europe and in Russia.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8

Samsung, today, announced two new families to their very large Galaxy line of devices. These devices are dubbed as the Galaxy Mega and they come in two sizes, first is the Galaxy Mega 5.8. Apparently, it sports a 5.8" display which is larger than that of the Galaxy Note II. Samsung is confusing the market, I believe or they are just saturating the market. Trying to get as much all of its cracks and whatnot. Samsung, with this announcement, is probably the phonemaker with the most diverse line of offering to the world. That is good in one way but over saturating the market with devices with different sizes that all look the same, might be a bad thing. But who knows? They were the one who brought the Phablet (Galaxy Note I and II) and the Galaxy Camera. The Galaxy Mega 5.8 will be available globally in May starting in Europe and in Russia.

Samsung Galaxy Win

Samsung has announced a new member of the Galaxy line of devices, the Samsung Galaxy Win. This device was first seen launched in South Korea, I believe, and now Samsung decided it will let the rest of the world have a taste of it. The Galaxy Win runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and is being powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor. In Samsung's presser they did not, as always, say when it will be available but they said it will come in two different versions, depending on the market, a single-SIM and a dual-SIM version.

Globe to launch the Galaxy S IV in May

The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be available in the Philippines because it just cannot happen that the superphone won't arrive in the country. Globe is the first carrier to announce that they will be offering the device sometime in May. Yup, no exact date when it will be available, unfortunately. In the Philippines, pre-orders is not a thing here that happens everyday and I don't know why, so you cannot pre-order the Galaxy S IV a month or so before it will become available. But, you can register your interest of it which means you'd get an email that it has arrived.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 to arrive in the US on April 11 for $399.99

Expanding Samsung's Note line of devices, the Galaxy Note 8.0, probably their iPad Mini killer, was announced and will officially arrive on US shores come April 11. The device is priced, over at Samsung USA's website at $399.99. The price is probably for the 16-GB WiFi only version of the tablet (with phone functionality). Being a member of the Note family, apparently it sports Samsung's SPen and all the other stuff the pen needs app-wise.

Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo

This is the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo, the second of the two smartphones Samsung had announced. The smartphone, like the Galaxy Star, supports Dual-SIM feature. It runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and features Smart Volume. It is basically the same with the Galaxy Star but it is powered by just a 850MHz single-core processor and is also targeted for the youth. 

Samsung Galaxy Star

Samsung has announced two low-end smartphones. This market is where Samsung's prowess is really seen. They took this market away from Nokia and with these new smartphone announcements, is running away with it. This is the Samsung Galaxy Star, one of the two smartphones announced. It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean from the box and is being powered by a 1GHz single-core processor. Samsung says that this smartphone is targeted for the youth and like most smartphones announced by Samsung, does not have an exact date when this will be available anywhere.

UK: The Samsung Galaxy S IV up for pre-orders in the UK via Clove and Three

It is not only in the US that's going to have a pre-order party for the Samsung Galaxy S IV because in the UK, Three UK and Clove have put the Galaxy S IV up for pre-order. Of course, the former is a carrier while the latter is a seller so the pricing are different. Three UK is offering the SGS IV on two different plans which will require you to sign a contract with them. Clove on the other hand is offering the device for £579.99 (VAT inclusive). I do not know with the other carriers in the UK if they are now accepting pre-orders of the device too. Might want to check their websites for that.

US: T-Mobile USA to launch the Samsung Galaxy S IV in May 1

As announced, US' 4th largest carrier, T-Mobile, will be the first carrier to launch Samsung's newest baby, their newest Android flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S IV. Announced at a special event in New York a few weeks back, the Galaxy S IV will be offered by T-Mobile on contract. For those who wants to get their SGS IVs with T-Mobile you can head over here and register your interest.
