Rumor: Samsung's new Galaxy NX Mini Android-based camera

Rumor: Samsung's new Galaxy NX Mini Android-based camera

Could Samsung be bringing the concept of mini variants of devices to its Android-based dedicated cameras? It certainly seems so – Samsung has recently applied for a trademark to a product named Galaxy NX Mini, hinting at the company’s plans to launch a lesser-powered variant of the Galaxy NX, the Android-powered mirrorless camera that was launched in November last year with features like interchangeable lenses.

The application for trademark registration was filed after Christmas, so it’s possible we’ll see a formal announcement of the Galaxy NX Mini at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February. Details on what downgrades the Mini tag in the camera’s name will result in remain a mystery, though the lack of interchangeable lens or a lower megapixel count is probably on the cards.

The price for the device in the U.S is $1,600 while it recently got shipped to U.K for sale at £1,299!

Smartphones to smartwatch

Samsung Gear smartwatch to launch along Note 3, report claims!

Without specifying any sources, Sam Mobile just “confirmed” that Samsung Gear will be launched on September 4 at the Unpacked 2 press event in Berlin. The device will supposedly bear the SM-V700 designation. Details on its appearance and features are scarce for now, but the device will reportedly work in tandem with the Note 3.

What is Samsung Gear? It’s a smartwatch, a wearable computer that will supposedly connect and work with Samsung smartphones. A design patent that Samsung filed in South Korea last month potentially gives us a good idea of what the Gear looks like. Based on these schematics, some creative folks created the renders you can see at the top of this post.

Will Samsung be the first major player to market a wearable device? Chances for that are pretty good.

Nexus 10 coming up?

Samsung and Google working on new Nexus 10?

The new Nexus 7 may be the Google tablet that is currently making the headlines all over the world, but it seems the company hasn’t forgotten about the not-so-successful Nexus 10 yet, as Sundar Pichai told WSJ reporter Amir Efrati that they are working with Samsung on a new Nexus 10.

Naturally, Pichai wasn’t forthcoming with any more details other than the fact that the device is in the works. Except for a newer version of Android, there’s pretty much nothing that would need upgrading in the Nexus 10 (though Samsung could put the new octa-core Exynos on it), so it could be that this newer Nexus 10 is simply the current model but with 3G/LTE connectivity, something which a lot of people have been waiting for.

It could also be used to debut Android 5.0 which is expected to be unveiled in October, just in time for the anniversary of the original 10-inch Nexus. As always, we’ll wait for further details to emerge and let you know accordingly.
