Samsung Galaxy SII Plus leaked...

After being rumoured last Feburary, looks like Samsung will release a Plus version of the Galaxy S2 according to leaks from SamMobile, like the Galaxy S Plus to the Galaxy S, it will include a minor upgrade on hardware. I would say this is the last version to be released of it, but it may later be offered with Dual-sim compatibility at a later date. Design wise, the device is looking thicker than the original and will include four capacitive buttons instead of Samsung's usual button arrangement.

The spec list includes a 4.5-inch screen, powered by a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz (up from 1.2GHz) with 1GB of RAM. The main camera will be the original devices 8-megapixel rear-facing camera but the front-facing camera may see an update to 1.9-megapixel (same as the Galaxy S3's). Internal storage will be at 16GB with the chance to expand it by up to 32GB with MicroSD card, battery capacity may be higher than the original but no official value has been leaked yet and the Galaxy S2 Plus will run Android 4.0 out of the box.

Samsung making a 5.8" Galaxy Player?

Pictures and specs of a possible upcoming Galaxy Player have popped up on SamMobile, They received a tip pointing to a possible 5.8-inch Galaxy Player variant which runs Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich". A Galaxy Payer with this size of a screen might be welcome, I'm interested in seeing how this goes when marketed.

Anyway, specs! It packs a 5.8-inch display with qHD resolution (960x540), powered by a dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz with 1GB of RAM. Snappers include a 3-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. The internal memory storage hasn't been leaked but the device does support a MicroSD card up to 32GB, battery capacity is at 2,500mAh and it runs Android 4.0 out of the box.

Like I said, I'm interested to see what type of people buy this product. It's like the Galaxy Note, but it isn't a phone, could say it's a tablet? However, I don't see the point of these Galaxy Players, I'd rather get a Galaxy phone thus resulting in me carrying only one device. 

HTC Endeavour C2...

After a disappointing year for HTC even with a new range of flagship devices, they just couldn't keep up and now they are loosing money big time. However, HTC could be attempting to fix that by bringing new models to the market. You may have heard of the HTC One X+ for T-Mobile, well it may not be for just T-Mobile as a device by the name of "Endeavour C2" has popped up.

The Endeavour C2 has been said to sport the same design as the current One X available but have a faster processor clock speed, bumping up from 1.5GHz to 1.7GHz. This speed difference may mean that the Endeavour C2/ HTC One X+ will be thicker due to a larger battery. I don't think they'll be any difference to screen size or the a addition of a MicroSD card slot which we'd all love.

Galaxy Note 2 rumours...

This past month (I'd say), we've been hearing about loads about a possible successor to the Phablet phenomenon, the Galaxy Note. This is a sum up of all the rumours that have been heard by tech sites and myself. Some can be believable others, not so much. These are the ones that are believable in my opinion.

5.5-inch display - 0.2 inch bigger, some people are surprised it's getting bigger. However, I'm not, and I can't wait to see the device. People praised the Galaxy Note's screen for viewing content large enough to be seen even at arms length. I don't know if a 1080p screen is being considered by Samsung so resolution will probably be the same on the Galaxy Note 2.

Quad-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM - Extra two cores and 512mb of RAM should make this device one of the best smartphones on the market. (specs-wise) This will also mean that gaming will be more comfortable due to the processing power and bigger screen. (I hate gaming on little screens)

Same design as SIII - Many people had a bone to pick with the SIII's styling when it was first announced, in my opinion the SIII looks amazing and the thin bezel (which Samsung is aiming for) will mean that it'll still fit in out pockets even with a bigger display.

12MP camera - We've seen Sony reveal phones with 13MP cameras, so this is believable and hopefully it does come with a 12MP camera. A better camera will mean that the graphic orientated people will be able to edit high resolution photos with it distorting.

Reveal at Unpacked Event - Samsung has sent out invited for a Samsung Mobile Unpacked event at Berlin, Germany. Apparently a Samsung representative has actually confirmed that it will be revealed at this event. We'll find out on August 29th.

Invites sent for a Samsung Unpacked event...

Invites have been sent out to press for a Unpacked event, if you remember the last one. Samsung unveiled the most anticipated device this year the Galaxy SIII. The event takes place on August 29th and this time round however, there is two device's being anticipated for release and this is shown in the invite, you'll notice "Samsung's full product lineup will be on display", This could mean that we finally see the international version of Galaxy Note 10.1 and Galaxy Note 2 in all of their glory.

Them two devices may only be a start as well, we've seen rumours of a Galaxy Tab 11.8 with a retina display and many more rumours circulating. What do you think? Will all of these devices be revealed? or are they just rumours?

RUMOUR:Samsung to unveil 11.8in "retina" tablet?

Is Samsung going to unveil a Galaxy Tab with a 11.8in retina display at the next Mobile World Congress? Documents that have shown up in court suggest Samsung is, apparently the tablet will come with a 2560x1600 (WQXGA) resolution which on a 11.8in screen would give a pixel density of 260PPI, near the iPad's 264PPI.

The processor powering the device will apparently be the Dual-core Exynos 5250 which may be clocked at 2GHz if rumours are correct. RAM, I'd say we could see 2GB of it worldwide.

If rumours are true which shouldn't be expected (look at Galaxy S3 rumours), this tablet will far out class any Android tablet on the market currently, but I doubt it'll sell well due to the high price which will come with this device.

Check out the images below, these images share some details about the tablet in question.

T-Mobile USA introduce Huawei MyTouch and MyTouch Q

T-Mobile USA has unveiled two new android devices, namely the MyTouch and MyTouch Q. These two devices are literally twins besides the MyTouchQ's physical keyboard which defines them apart. Either way, both are available through T-Mobile for $49.99 on a two year contract (after a $50 rebate).

Both devices have the same specs, and they're as follows. Both pack a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) display, powered by a single-core 1.4GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. Both devices have two cameras aboard one 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling. Both have 4GB of internal storage with the option to expand by MicroSD (up to 32GB), they run on Android 2.3 and have a battery capacity of 1400mAh which should see about one and a half days (depending on usage)

ZTE & Virgin Mobile announce Kis

ZTE & Virgin Mobile have teamed up to announce a new budget friendly smartphone, the Kis. The Kis is going to retail for only £49.99 on PAYG and for that price offers some relatively good specs. I mean compare this to a Galaxy Ace which is about £110 currently and you'll know what I mean. 

Now for the specs, the Kis offers up a 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480) display, powered by a single core 800MHz processor with 256MB of RAM. The device only has one camera, a 3.15MP rear-facing camera with auto focus. The device has 512MB of internal storage that can be expanded using a MicroSD card slot (up to 32GB). The device runs on Android 2.3 and won't get Android 4.0 due to hardware compatibility. Battery capacity is a cool 1400mAh which should keep the phone running for a couple of days depending on usage.

Compared to Motorola's MotoSmart which was just revealed yesterday, this device has the upper edge when it comes to market potential due to it's low price. Another thing to note is that if you buy this phone, you get 1GB of Internet for every month for a year.
