It has been barely a day since Samsung launched
the Galaxy S 4 in India, and already the Internet is abuzz with news
about products the South Korean company has in its pipeline. According
to a report
on WSJ, Samsung is reportedly planning to launch a rugged version of
the Galaxy S 4, a 4.3-inch version of the Galaxy S 4 and an 8-inch
Galaxy Tab.
The news of a rugged and more durable version of its flagship model
doesn’t come as a surprise, as during the Galaxy S 4 launch in Dubai,
President of Samsung Gulf Electronics Young Soo Kim had unintentionally
revealed about such a device in the making. Quoting a source familiar
with such matters, the WSJ
report claims that the device tentatively called the Galaxy S 4 Active,
will look and feel just like the Galaxy S 4 but will be water and
dust-proof. Samsung claims that the device is designed with a war zone
in mind which is an indication that it may be trying to earn government
and MNC contracts.
The source also revealed that the South Korean company is readying an
8-inch tablet for launch in June which would join its Galaxy-line of
tablets. The source says that the upcoming tablet will be placed between
the two existing tablets in Samsung’s Galaxy–line and could very well
be the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, which leaked
a few days back. According to the leaked specifications, the 8-inch
tablet will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and feature a 1280×800 pixels
display, 1.5GHz dual-core processor with 1GB of RAM, 3-megapixel rear
camera, 1.3-megapixel camera at the front and a massive 4,500mAH
battery.
In addition to the rugged smartphone and the 8-inch tablet, Samsung
is also reportedly planning to launch a smaller 4.3-inch Galaxy S 4 in
July. Though the source didn’t reveal a name for the device this could
be Galaxy S 4 mini, which leaked
online earlier this month. As the earlier report claims, the Galaxy S 4
mini is said to be available in two variants– a dual-SIM with dual-core
processor and a single-SIM with quad-core processor. It is also
believed to feature a 4.3-inch qHD display, an 8-megapixel camera and
Android version 4.2.2. The smartphone is expected to be launched in
Black Mist and White Frost colors.
