Samsung is priming the tech world for a big announcement ...
It might be in the middle of a long and complicated legal battle with Apple in multiple countries, but Samsung isn't letting that stop it from releasing new and exciting products. Hot on the heels of the iPhone 4S unveiling, the company last night released a teaser for 'something big' that it plans to announce next week.
Samsung has released the following video teaser to get us all whipped into a frenzy ahead of its Unpacked mobile event next week. Scheduled to take place on October 11, it's looking more and more like this might be the day we finally get to see the newest Google phone, the Nexus Prime. Said to be the first Ice Cream Sandwich handset, the Nexus Prime has been in and out of the news over the last couple of months. However, we still don't know a lot about the phone, other than the fact that it will likely be the first ICS phone. We've heard talk of a 4.5-inch HD AMOLED display and a 1.5GHz dual core processor so it's already shaping up to be quite a beast. Check out the '[Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2011 - Google Episode]' teaser video below:
Roll on October 11...
That's what SHE said!
4.5"+ screen at Retina resolution or higher
An 8MP camera
1080p HD video recording
Better than 1.0ghz Dual-Core CPU
VERY GOOD BATTERY LIFE
Standard outputs (miniUSB, miniHDMI)
4G compatibility (REAL 4G compatibility)
And, yea, it would be nice to see some 3rd party SOFTWARE showing off on it too.
The iPhone 4S presentation the other day had an Infinity Blade 2 demo running on the Unreal Engine on it - looks pretty sweet for a smartphone game. And that SIRI voice-UI was pretty sweet too.
Well, let's see Google step up to the plate with some awesome Android phone SOFTWARE, ok? That's the only thing holding some people back to be honest. All the best hardware in the world is meaningless if you don't have anything to show off on it.
