Tag: Samsung Galaxy Next

As expected, Samsung opened up thenextgalaxy.com early this morning, and released the first teaser video for the upcoming Galaxy. In the short one minute clip we see the message, “Truly smart technology becomes a natural part of life. Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand. Your view of the world grows even wider. As you gain the power to explore it freely and swiftly. With technology that fits in this easily, you can now stand out from everyone else.”

No real facts about the product are included, but we can speculate on some of the details from the text. The line “a galaxy fits perfectly into your hands [and] your view of the world grows even wider” hints at the edge-to-edge display that has been rumored. “As you gain the power to explore freely and swiftly” could hint at the all day battery life life that Samsung has been talking up.

At the end of the video we see a herd of sheep, which is clearly another dig at Apple. Samsung previously had a campaign making fun of Apple fans waiting in line for the next iPhone, which was not received very well, so it’s surprising to see them use that tactic again.

Check out the full teaser video below and let us know what you think. Then be sure to head over to thenextgalaxy.com and register for more updates. Can you find any other hidden clues that we missed?

Samsung is scheduled to unpack the next Galaxy on May 3rd, but we should get some new details early tomorrow morning. A new teaser site just went live which has a countdown that ends around 7 AM EST.

Earlier today Samsung Mobile tweeted out an anagram which led people to tgeltaayehxnx.com, “The Next Galaxy”. The site features a message that says, “Coming soon. You can take the next step in…” and the page’s metadata reveals, “Discover how Samsung is about to challenge the way you view the GALAXY once more.”

The “Galaxy S III” has been one of the been one of the most hyped Android phones to date, but no official information has been revealed. We don’t even know what the product will be called or what the final specs might become. Our alarms are set for early in the morning, so check back first thing tomorrow to see what clues get revealed.

Circle May 3rd on you calendars. Samsung Mobile just sent out invitations to the UK press which say, “Come and meet the next Galaxy.” Details are limited, but the event will take place in London on May 3rd at 7PM BST / 2PM EST and be broadcast live on facebook.com/SamsungMobile.

Samsung previously said that the successor to the Galaxy S II was coming at a separate event in the first half of the year, “closer to commercial availability of the product.” If the device is revealed in early May, then it could go on sale later in May or possibly June.

We still don’t know what the official product name will become, but everyone is assuming it will be the Galaxy S III. Looking at the press invite, we suppose it could also be called the Galaxy Next.

Rumored specs of the Galaxy S III include:

  • Android 4.x Ice Cream Sandwich
  • 4.6-4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED Plus display
  • Dual-core Exynos 5250 or quad-core Exynos 4412 processor
  • 12 MP rear camera, HD front camera
  • Only 7 millimeters thick
  • Ceramic casing

The timing and location of the big reveal are particularly interesting. CTIA Wireless takes place on May 8-10th in New Orleans, so Samsung will get the early advantage of being revealed a week before the show. We don’t know if the phone will make an appearance, but it’s possible we could see the US versions announced.

If you were thinking about buying a new Android phone this month, you just might want to hold off 17 days and see what Samsung has in store. And now we return to the waiting game.

Excited?
