Reports from industry insiders suggest that Samsung
is preparing to launch a new Galaxy device for European markets. The announcement for the rumored 5.8-inch screen device is expected to be
made shortly. Samsung has been on a roll, releasing new devices left,
right and center. With recent releases in the Galaxy S series as well as
the Galaxy Note series not yet faded from public memory, it seems like
Samsung has its foot on the pedal and looking to consolidate.
The new device is being touted as a Galaxy Fonblet. You might be
wondering as to why the odd-sounding term is being used to describe the
device. The reason behind it is that Samsung is trying to create the
perfect hybrid of a phone and tablet. Hence, the Fon comes from phone
and Blet from tablet. However, there has been no official word on the
matter so far from Samsung. The only spec confirmed so far is the 5.8
inches screen size.
The reports further suggest that Samsung is targeting the European
markets with the new device. As of now, it is being called Galaxy
Fonblet 5.8 and will be launched first in Europe, followed by a
worldwide release. Samsung will officially announce their plans
regarding the Fonblet in the days to come. The rumors have also
suggested that the device will be white in color initially. It is not
known whether other colors will follow in due course.
The OS
The most important thing consumers today want to know about new
devices is the platform they will be running on. As far as the Fonblet
is concerned, it is going to run on Android Jellybean 4.1. This means
that users will be able to download a wide range of games and apps from
Google’s Play Store. The choice of OS
also means that Fonblet will join a select few devices which run on
Jellybean by default. Till now, the choice for fans of Android versions
4.1 and 4.2 is limited.
Final Word
Up till now, it does seem as though Fonblet is going to be a great
device to own. After all, it combines the features of smartphones and
tablets hence serving a dual purpose for the users. Its features and the
fact that it will have the same display as Galaxy Player 5.8 ensure
that Samsung has a surefire winner on its hands.
