14 DAY TRIAL // South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics is reportedly gearing up for the release of some very appealing devices that would run under Google's Android operating system, and a successor for the Galaxy S might land as soon as February next year.
Apparently, the leading handset vendor would be on its way to bring to the market the new Android-based mobile phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next year, though no specific info on the phone itself emerged for the time being.
What is known on it at the moment is that it might run under Google's new Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, and that it would follow the Nexus S in including NFC (Near Field Communication) capabilities and a gyroscope.
At the same time, rumor has it that it would pack a dual-core processor inside, which is in line with previous suppositions, which pointed at the possibility that Samsung would adopt Nvidia's Tegra 2 chip for the future devices.
According to a recent article on Chosun.com, Samsung themselves announced officially that the 2011 Mobile World Congress, which would kick off in Barcelona on February 14th, it the place where it will all be announced officially.
Since this would be a dual-core device, we might see it released as the same phone that emerged a while ago on the Internet with the model number GT-i9100 attached to it.
Previous rumors on this device suggested that it would arrive on shelves with Samsung's Cortex-A9-based Orion CPU on board, which packs a dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, along with a quad-core Mali 400 GPU.
The next Galaxy S device is expected to be capable of delivering a great experience, and the fact that Galaxy S already managed to do so comes as a proof of that.
Most probably, it would also benefit from the release of Nexus S by Samsung, which includes some top of the line features and capabilities that the handset vendor would like to pack inside other devices as well.
