Es gibt einige neue Samsung-Geräte zu vermelden, zwei sind bereits offiziell, eines noch nicht.
Samsung setzt seine Gerätepolitik unbeirrt fort: Einfach Geräte mit so vielen Variationen wie möglich auf den Markt bringen und abwarten, welche Variante erfolgreich ist. Das belegen nicht nur die Gerüchte um Samsungs neue Mega-Serie, die angeblich aus verbraucherfreundlich bepreisten Phablets besteht, sondern auch drei neue Geräte, die es frisch ins Bewusstsein der Android-Gemeinde gespült hat.
Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo, Galaxy Star und Galaxy Win nennen sich die drei neuen Modelle, von denen allerdings nur die ersten beiden bereits offiziell vorgestellt worden sind. Beim Galaxy Win dürfte die Vorstellung allerdings auch nicht mehr lange dauern. Daten und Bilder zu dem Gerät sind bei einem vietnamesischen Händler aufgetaucht, wie sammyhub berichtet.
Bei allen setzt Samsung auf Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), die beste Ausstattung bringt das Galaxy Win mit. Galaxy Pocket Neo und Galaxy Star sind Einsteigergeräte, die sich allerdings nur marginal voneinander unterscheiden. Optional kommen beide Modelle mit Dual-SIM-Support, auch beim Galaxy Win ist von einem Dual-SIM-Schacht die Rede. Angaben zu Preis und Verfügbarkeit gibt es noch nicht.
