Samsung may be working on five new phones for early 2014
Recent reports suggest that the Galaxy S5 may not be all Samsung has in store for early next year. ET Times
is citing sources who say that Samsung might just have a broad lineup
of devices ready for us in the first half of 2014, though exactly which
are not known.
With the interest surrounding their Galaxy Round
device, we would like to see that released on a larger scale. Now that
LG is widening the availability of their G Flex, Samsung’s claim as the
“first” curved smartphone is in question. We know the Korean handset
maker is working on a curved battery design for the Round, which could d
be what has held up shipment to date.
We also expect to see simple refreshes of current devices, and
perhaps a mid-cycle refresh for the Note series. While we’ve not seen
such, a Note Active cold be interesting. We’ve also heard rumblings of a
lower-end Note 3, which could be part of the plans.
There is also Samsug’s dedication to the mid-range market to consider. We could end up seeing a Moto G
competitor from the Android powerhouse. Stateside, the mid-range market
is heating up. Worldwide, the mid-range market is crucial to success.
Samsung
is not one to leave us hanging much, so we expect to hear more as
details are known. We will be at CES 2014, and will be sure to press
Samsung
for answers at that time. If anything, this proves that Samsung isn’t
going anywhere, and plans to continue their reign at the top of
Android’s massive heap.
