Sprint may be preparing to announce the Galaxy Note during next week’s Consumer Electronics Show. So far, we’ve only heard rumors that the device will launch on AT&T with 4G LTE support. The Galaxy Note is often referred to as a cross between a tablet and a phone, and it originally launched in Europe earlier this year. It is equipped with a large 5.3-inch display with a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, a 1.4GHz processor and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. If Sprint does launch the Galaxy Note, as SprintFeed is suggesting it will, the phone will likely come equipped with support for Sprint’s WiMAX network. BGR will be reporting live from CES 2012 next week, so stay tuned for more

SEOUL, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) — Samsung Electronics, the world’s second-largest manufacturer of mobile phones, said Monday that it launched its latest smart mobile gadget Galaxy Note in South Korea in a bid to take the lead in a new phase of the mobile phone market. The Galaxy Note, which was first introduced in September at IFA 2011, the consumer electronics fair held in Berlin, was Samsung’s latest Galaxy lineup, combining the portability of a smartphone with the larger screen of a tablet computer, according to Samsung. The device ensured portability and grip with 9.65-millimeter thin, 182 grams in weight and a rounded back design, while featuring a 5.3-inch super active-ma

Samsung on Thursday unveiled two new GALAXY-branded devices at the IFA trade show in Germany, the Samsung GALAXY Note smartphone and the Samsung GALAXY Tab 7.7 tablet. The former blurs the line between smartphone and tablet — and usable and comical — featuring a massive 5.3-inch 1280 x 800-pixel Super AMOLED display that will likely make this device unpocketable for most consumers. The phone also curiously employs a stylus for note taking and drawing, though finger input is supported as well. Other specs include a 1.4GHz dual-core chipset, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, a gigantic 2,500 mAh battery and Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Samsung’s TouchWiz

Just days ahead of the IFA trade show in Berlin, Samsung officially unveiled three new bada 2.0-powered handsets: the Wave 3, Wave M and Wave Y. We first heard wind of the Wave 3 last week when an Android user spotted it inside of Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked APK and now we have the full details. The Wave 3 is the high-end smartphone of the bunch and comes equipped with a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, a 5-megapixel camera, a 1.4GHz processor and HSPA connectivity all in a 9mm thin brush-aluminum shell.

The Galaxy S II is another smartphone running Google’s Android operating system, specifically the ‘Gingerbread’ version. The unit we tested was on loan from three.co.uk which is offering the Galaxy S II on a £35 a month contract. The main selling point of this model is a 4.3” touchscreen – almost an inch bigger than Apple’s iPhone – and there’s no denying it looks sumptuous with bold, vivid colours. Although the extra screen space comes in useful for tasks such as browsing and email, there’s little sign of Samsung bothering to do much with it. On its home screens the S II only shows the same 4 apps to a row that the iPhone and every other Android smartphone offers, they

Verizon Wireless confirmed on Wednesday that it will launch Samsung’s second-generation Galaxy S “superphone” next month. Speaking to Computerworld, the carrier confirmed that it would launch the Samsung Galaxy S II “Function” some time in July. Featuring a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the Galaxy S II is at the forefront of a new generation of more powerful Android smartphones that will launch this year. Each of the four major carriers in the U.S. carried the original Samsung Galaxy S under varied names, and they were all very good sellers. As such, it is reasonable to believe each carrier could carry its

Verizon Wireless has begun rolling out an update for its version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Unfortunately, the update does not include a new iteration of the Android mobile platform. Instead, the update has been equipped with improvements and a few bug fixes, many of which promise to faster browser performance as well as better battery life. The update also includes a few new features that existing Samsung Galaxy Tab owners on Verizon Wireless will definitely welcome with open arms.

Just as a Veteren’s Day rumor has suggested, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab Android tablet is just about ready to hit up the nation’s number two network, AT&T. For a not-so-cheap $649, users can get their hands on the device, benefits including “the nation’s fastest 3G network,” and Android 2.2 Froyo. Atop the $650 price tag, you’re going to need to pay monthly for internet connectivity, and data packages start at $14.99 month for 25oMB of data transfer, and $25 per month for 2GB of data transfer. In addition, users will get access to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots around the nation. Getting one? AT&T INTRODUCES SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB WITH PAY-AS-YOU-GO MONTHLY DATA PLANS November
