MWC 2011 : Samsung

Samsung will have its presence felt here at MWC by way of two great devices, which also happen to be two great successors.
Galaxy S II
The successor to the wildly successful Galaxy S smartphones is a worthy one. Sporting a larger 4.3 inch screen (800x480) it also boasts Super AMOLED Plus technology. The Galaxy S II also has a 1GHz dual core processor that powers through Android 2.3 Gingerbread and runs TouchWiz 4.0. It will be available this month in Europe and Asia (unknown release date in North America) and will probably be (arguably) the thinnest smartphone on the market at just a smidge under 8.5mm.

Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung desperately needed to get back into the tablet arena with a solid tablet and it has delivered. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a 10.1 inch screen (go figure) as well as a dual core Tegra 2 processor powering 3.0 Honeycomb. The Tab weilds 2 and 8 megapixel cameras (front and back respectively) and illuminates a 1280x800 res display. This is Samsung's answer to the Motorola Xoom. Both are very similar in hardware and probably identical in software. Lowest price wins. Only time will tell.
