Samsung’s next generation Galaxy S device going to have 1080p display!
There’s not been too much rumors about Samsung’s next generation Galaxy S device, but there’s been a lot of speculation from the fans. Now there’s a user agent profile for a SCH-i337, a Samsung manufactured handset boasting 1080p Full HD display. The profile won’t give us much details except it’s name i337 and importantly the screen size that is 1,920-by-1080. Samsung showed their curved AMOLED displays at CES, but most likely we can expect to see those at later date.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8″ spotted out and wild!
Samsung’s next device to it’s Galaxy Note line up, Galaxy Note 8, has been seen out and wild. The image you see above is the new Galaxy Note 8, but it also sports some special design features similar to Galaxy S3 and Note 2, such as curved chassis. You can also clearly see S Pen in the bottom right corner of the photo. Samsung also has decided to still use traditional menu, back and home setup, instead of going to onscreen buttons. It’s believed that main reason for Samsung to still keep traditional buttons is that it’s less important to keep them in Android 4.2 than in Honeycomb.
Rumors are also saying that Samsung is going to unveil Galaxy Note 8 at Mobile World Congress coming February. Reported specs include 8-inch 1,280-by-800 display, a 1.6GHz Exynos 4 quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and TouchWiz’d Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
