Samsung seems to shine with a phone which is by no the best phone till date.
Samsung made the phone very unique by adding features like S Stay etc. These features make the phone stand out of the rest of the Android market and kill personal assistants like Siri.
Though Samsung kept speaking about the design, the camera and the design, it doesn’t mean that the phone is behind in specs. It packs a quad core processor, a 4.8″ HD Super AMOLED screen and a huge 2100 mAh battery.
The phone is to be released in Europe and 10 other cities around the globe on the 29th of May in three variants, 16GB, 32GB, & 64GB. No prices announced yet.

Samsung launched 2 teaser videos

Samsung, as already reported on the site, had released a teaser site, http://www.tgeltaayehxnx.com. Since the countdown ended a while ago, people have gone crazy to get access to the site, but some have got access and this greats us to another teaser, this time a video. The on the front page, greets the viewer with a simple riddle.

Samsung released two teaser videos, one being the shorter version of the above video. Both http://www.tgeltaayehxnx.com/ and http://thenextgalaxy.com/ have a lot of traffic on them and seem to fail to take the load. But I will continue to try to get full access and snapshots.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Teaser Site, the ‘Countdown’ has begun!!!

The Samsung Galaxy S3 seems to be a dear device to the Korean company Samsung has just launched an official teaser site for ‘The Next Galaxy’. The site in question is http://www.tgeltaayehxnx.com/. The name of the site is an anagram to ‘ The Next Galaxy’ and has a countdown that ends in roughly 20 min from the time that I write this, 4:08pm(GMT+5:30).

The site also gives an indirect hint to a new display which is obvious after the 480×800 display on the S2. The hint can be found in the source code of the site which quotes, “Discover how Samsung is about to challenge the way you view the GALAXY once more.”

It is still not sure of what the site will unveil, but I suppose not too much of specs but rather more teasers and a scavenger hunt for more clues within the site. Samsung has stayed secretive for the past month and may not release much info until May 3rd.

This is really exciting and hope to see more info as it flows in on the site. Leave your thoughts and speculations in the comments down below.
