Samsung GT-I9800

Samsung GT-I9800

There have been rumors flying around of a Samsung Galaxy S III.  The image above is proof of a WiFi certification for a Samsung GT-I9800. The model number for the Galaxy S III is believed to be GT-I9300, so what really is the GT-I9800? Will we have something even better than the Galaxy S III?

The Samsung Galaxy S III was rumored to be released at MWC next month, but Samsung has yet to decide whether this will happen or not. It remains to be seen what Samsung will bring to Mobile World Congress next month!


Steam Companion App

Steam Companion App

Valve today released a Steam companion app for both iOS and Android. The app will let users participate in the Steam community while on the go. Steam will even let you purchase games via this new app, so that you can get downloading immediately when you get back home. However, you’ll not be able to play any Steam games via this app.

Here’s the description from Android Market.

Here’s yet another Apple-bashing Galaxy S II ad from Samsung. I don’t find this as funny as the earlier ones, but it’s still worth checking out. Samsung, keep ‘em coming!

Sony Xperia U

Sony Xperia U

The Indonesian equivalent of the US FCC has shed some light on what the Sony Ericsson ST25i Kumquat will be marketed as. According to a recent filing by Sony Ericsson, the ST25i will be called the Sony Ericsson Xperia U. However, since Sony Ericsson is moving away from Ericsson, our guess is that this will be simply called Sony Xperia U. MWC is most probably where we’ll see this officially announced.

Not that long ago, an alleged Sony roadmap for 2012 leaked. The roadmap contained a wide selection of code names that we hadn’t heard before. One of those devices, the Sony LT25i Kumquat, has now leaked. The image you see above is told to be that exact device.

On the spec side of things, we’re expecting to see a dual-core 1GHz processor, 3.5-inch screen (480×854 pixels), 5-megapixel camera and Android 2.3. The device is basically a mini-Xperia S. We don’t really have other information of the Kumquat now, but we’re expecting to see it announced February at Mobile World Congress 2012.


Sony Xperia Arc HD?

Sony Xperia Arc HD?

It’s just a few hours after the official Resident Evil: Retribution teaser trailer was launched. The trailer is packed with Sony products, but one device comes of particular interest to me.

The phone in the image above looks a lot like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc or Arc S, but the branding is not quite correct. There isn’t a device with just Sony branding and that look. This leads us to believe that it could be the rumored Sony Xperia Arc HD, and not the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc/Arc S that is already available.
