With Mobile World Congress a mere week away, a few mobile makers are trying to bag themselves a bit of pre-show limelight by announcing their products this week, before the world goes PHONE MAD.
Such as Samsung here, which has today shown off its M100S, an extremely sharp-looking phone packing Android 2.1, a 3.7″ OLED screen, a 5megapixel camera sensor that’s also capable of recording 720p video, a 3.5mm headphone jack and Samsung’s homemade TouchWiz Android UI layered over the top.
Here it is, looking HUGE because of (a) small ladies and (b) perspective.
It’s due to launch in South Korea in March. It’ll no doubt be given a name slightly more alluring than “M100S” and launched over here soon after. Hopefully the suffering of Samsung Galaxy i7500 owners was not in vain, and Samsung has learned a few important lessons about battery life, the importance of regular Android updates and customer support.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
