I’ll go over the four new models from Samsung (which hail from the M, W and Y lines) along with a few older ones (that conform to the new naming scheme) to see how well it works. You’re welcome to join me.
First, here’s how the new naming scheme works – Samsung’s Android phones will carry the Galaxy name and will be put into one of five categories signified by a letter. A few special suffixes will denote special features too.
Let’s take a look the new Samsung Galaxy W – it’s a W phone so, it’s relatively high up on the ladder and focuses on looks and performance. Basically, it’s a mid-tier device (3.7″ WVGA TFT, 1.4GHz CPU, 5MP camera) and goes for clean, sleek look.
So far, so good. Let’s look at another model from a couple of months ago – the I9103 Galaxy R. It goes for a dual-core 1GHz CPU and packs a 4.2″ SC-LCD screen. The R line offers premium devices, so you can expect things like this – good alternatives to the S line for non-powerusers.
The Galaxy S line is well known and continues to carry Samsung’s flagship droid. I have a feeling there will be only one or two phones in this class at any given time – so, you get the latest Galaxy S and what you’ll have is the best Samsung has to offer. There’s nothing new here really, just the Galaxy S II.
Of course, part of navigation the gadget world is getting the most bang for your buck. The Galaxy M Pro B7800 offers a 1GHz CPU, 5MP camera and a relatively high-ppi screen. It’s part of the performance on a budget M series.
The “Pro” tag has so far traditionally stood for a phone with a physical QWERTY and sure enough the Galaxy M Pro has one.
There’s a third suffix – LTE – which obviously indicates 4G LTE connectivity. This is great since all the carriers started tagging on “4G” to phones that didn’t actually have 4G – the new system makes it much clearer. There aren’t any LTE models yet, at least not ones that officially carry the suffix.
I got side-tracked by these suffixes and almost forgot about the Galaxy Y S5360 and Galaxy Y Pro B5510. Those are entry-level devices (the second model obviously comes with a keyboard) and target youths, which is pretty much what the Y series is about.
Okay, now you should be able to guess pretty accurately the specs of any new Samsungs that come out. You’ll get a chance to practice during IFA (starts September 2nd) when Samsung will show off these and hopefully some other models.
