OK, we’re starting to get confused by Samsung’s bizarre international product naming conventions again, so let’s try to get it all straightened out. Here’s what Samsung has just said it’s showing at CommunicAsia 2010:
“The complete portfolio includes the Wave 2 and Wave 2 Pro bada based smartphones, the Android-powered Galaxy Beam, Galaxy 3 and Galaxy 5, and the Windows Mobile 6.5-based Omnia Pro 4 and Omnia Pro 5″
(1). Now, the Galaxy Beam has been seen before in the guise of the GT-i8520.
(2). The Galaxy 3 is the one we believe to be the same as the Galaxy Apollo and is therefore also known as the i5801 now.
(3). And the Galaxy 5 is a new “entry level” Android phone that was shown off at Google I/O 2010 which Samsung also likes to call the i5500…
So, now we’ve got the hard part out of the way, let’s relax and enjoy a nice ACTION POSE of some of the actual handsets being shown off at CommunicAsia 2010 by Samsung’s hired help:
Plus Samsung also has the Galaxy S, of course. It doesn’t help that “Galaxy S” looks quite a bit like “Galaxy 5″ when you type it out. We’re now slightly less confused than 20 minutes ago, but still wish someone at Samsung would realise the importance of globalising its smartphone names.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
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?
