Samsung introduced the Galaxy mini at last year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) and this year they’re ready to unveil its successor, which in all likeliness will be showcased at MWC as well. The Galaxy mini 2 (GT-S6500) codenamed-Jena sits between the low-end Galaxy Y and Galaxy Ace.

As for specs, the Galaxy mini 2 will come with 3.3-inch HVGA TFT display, 800MHz processor, Android 2.3 OS, 7.2Mbps HSDPA support, 3MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3GB internal storage, ChatON messaging service and more.

A new official beta ROM for Galaxy S II has surfaced. The I9100XXLPB is based on Android 4.0.3 and is said to be stable than the previous leaked builds. Understandably, it comes with TouchWiz UI but has added a 3D-like effect while scrolling. Here’s a short video showing off the new ROM in action.

PS: This ROM has not been released by Samsung. The official final release is expected to come before end of Q1 2012.

The image you’re looking above is in all likeliness, the Galaxy S II Plus. Renowned Mobile analyst and editor of site Mobile-Review, Eldar Murtazin posted this image on his Twitter feed and though he did not explicitly mention the name, he did somewhat confirm the device in another tweet.

Existence of Galaxy S II Plus came to light after the benchmark score of the device was leaked. The phone as you can see is strikingly similar to the original Galaxy S II but sports touch-sensitive menu buttons. It is also said to sport a faster dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, will run Android 4.0 with TouchWiz and will have a WVGA display.

Let’s hope this image is real and is showcased at the MWC later this month.

Picasa has become a hunting ground for eagle-eyed bloggers and readers and it seems PocketNow tasted success while searching for an unannounced Samsung device. The site managed to get a sample shot taken from GT-I9500, which in all likeliness could be Galaxy S III. The reason it is claimed to be as the next Galaxy S device is due to its model number, which Samsung has used in previous Galaxy flagship devices (I9000 for Galaxy S, I9100 for Galaxy S II, I9250 for Galaxy Nexus).

Anyways, the image is nothing special except for the fact that it proves I9500’s existence and also that it was shot in Suwon, South Korea – HQ of Samsung.

Picasa EXIF Details

New details about the AT&T variant of Galaxy Note has surfaced. The phone / tablet hybrid is identified as SGH-I717 and will sport few interesting changes. The phone will support 4G LTE, will have four touch-sensitive buttons and will have a different processor – a dual-core 1.5GHz one. Apart from the button change, the CPU and LTE support jibes with the South Korean variant of Galaxy Note.

Pocket Now expects the device to get official at CES next month.

Couple of live pictures of Galaxy Y Pro Duos has been published by GSM Arena. Although the first picture shows just the back of the phone, the second image is more convincing. It reveals the two SIM slots, which apparently will work in an alternate manner through the Android notification area.

We still don’t have the full specs of the device but it is expected to be similar to Galaxy Y Pro.

NTT Docomo today confirmed to launch Galaxy Nexus in Japan next month but didn’t divulge any device details. Luckily for us, a Japanese site has posted an image of a Docomo flyer that shows off the image as well as some specs.

According to the site, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich running Galaxy Nexus will come with a huge 4.7-inch 1280×720 Super AMOLED HD display and will be powered by Texas Instruments’ OMAP4460 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

As for other specs, it will have a 5MP camera with full HD video recording support, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 14.4Mbps HSDPA, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS.

NTT Docomo will market it under the NEXT series.

We’re apparently looking at Samsung’s next Galaxy S device. The image procured by Phandroid was shown in an internal presentation that indicates Galaxy S III release and some specs. According to it, Galaxy S III is scheduled for 2012 and will be powered by 1.8GHz dual-core Exynos 4212 processor. Exynos 4212 is the same CPU that was revealed some time back that clocked 1.5GHz.

Other significant hardware upgrades will include a 2GB RAM, 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display and a 12MP main camera.

The leak is obviously unconfirmed by Samsung.

UPDATE: Fake! Turns out to be render of Nokia C8 Concept. Link [Thanks, @Chilko]

The image you’re seeing above could very much be the next Nexus phone. UK retailer, Handtec has published a listing on the site that reveals the image as well as some specs like Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), 1.5GHz processor (possibly dual-core), 4.6-inch Super AMOLED display, 5MP rear-facing camera with 1080p HD video recording support, front-facing 1MP camera, Wi-Fi and GPS.

As for the design, it looks similar to the Nexus S except for the addition of the chrome bezel.

So what do you think about the design? Fake or not?

According to some post titles appearing on the blog, Samsung will unveil Series 7 Slate PC as well as NX200. We’re not sure of what the Series 7 Slate PC will bring but NX200 seems to be an upgrade in the NX Series camera range.
