As Samsung earlier this month announced to launch Galaxy i901's better version, it launches Samsung galaxy S2 i905 today. The phone is launched in Taiwan, which is probably the first country to get it.

At the Mobile World Congress held last February, Samsung only ended up announcing the Galaxy Note 8.0 and its wireless charging capabilities. However, it was really slated to introduce several tablets but for some reason, they focused on one major product and other mid-range devices.


Some of the Bluetooth-enabled devices for Samsung were already listed at the Bluetooth SIG and one of these is Galaxy Tab 3 Plus. It looks like an LTE version will also be on the way. Furthermore, the SIG confirms that the LTE edition will be released in Europe. No information exists when it will also be released elsewhere but it will be seen in various markets soon.


This is possibly the No. 1 tablet for the Korean giant this year. However, we could be wrong and the company might just come out with a tablet that has closer specs with the Galaxy S 4, Exynos Octa or possibly even one that has a higher RAM, who knows?

Samsung will surely follow up on its high-end tablets and according to the rumor mill; the next to be featured will be the Galaxy Tab 3 Plus. It can be recalled that Samsung did a "Plus" device two years back with the Galaxy Tab 7.7 Super AMOLED Plus. This device made waves and customers say that it is one of the best tablets in the market.


According to the buzz, Samsung wants to take their tablets to a whole new level and compete head on with Apple's iPad and Sony's XPERIA tablet Z. With the success that they've had with their AMOLED displays, Samsung might just create a bigger tablet fit to rival its major competitors' 10-in and 11-in devices. The Korean company allegedly developed prototypes of various sizes. Furthermore, our insider thinks that Samsung will likely use their Exynos processors, if ever they do launch a bigger, high-end tablet this year.
