South Korea’s Chosun Ilbo is reporting that Samsung might look to unveil the Galaxy S successor at the Mobile World Congress in February 2011. MWC is the world’s largest mobile communications expo and it makes more sense to reveal the phone there than at the CES expo.

New Galaxy S is rumored to run Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS and have a dual-core processor, NFC support and gyroscope.

Samsung is planning to introduce a Super AMOLED equipped phone at this year’s MWC. Now before you get excited, Super AMOLED is the same display that has an integrated touch sensor.

It will be the world’s first display to embed a touch sensor and is five times more vivid than regular AMOLED screens and performs 20 percent better when used outdoors under direct sunlight. Samsung hasn’t confirmed the screen size but it’s believed to be a 3.3-inch screen with WVGA (800×480) resolution.

No word on the phone either but we wouldn’t be surprised if Samsung integrates such display in their first bada phone.

Well, well we’ve got the first picture of the rumored Galaxy 2. Not sure if it’s real but Androphone, claims a lot of things in addition to the image. Except for the large 4-inch AMOLED display from the last rumor, the site claims similar specs. The Galaxy 2 will purportedly have a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen and will be powered by Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Other features completing the phone will be 32GB internal memory, 5MP camera, Android 2.1, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm audio jack, microSD card slot and GPS.

According to the site, the phone will be released in Q2 2010 with unveiling coming next month at MWC.

We’re keeping this in rumors for now until more substantial proof crops up. How about some live pictures?

Apart from unveiling the touchscreen phone lineup, Samsung also displayed a few watch phones that looks like an evolution over the years. The latest is the cool looking GT-S1100. They were behind the glass, so no real details could be extracted other than the listed features like the full touchscreen interface, speakerphone and Bluetooth.

Amongst the fleet of phones we saw today, one phone from Samsung went completely unnoticed, and rightly so. The Valencia smartphone is a QWERTY phone sans the touchscreen running Windows Mobile 6.1 and is powered by a 393MHz processor which would be termed slow considering the new device processor speeds. Other things included are 2MP cam, Bluetooth and 3G. The specs definitely hints at something – the phone will be easy on the pocket.

Other features:
Network: GSM Tri band/GPRS,EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA
Display: QVGA (320X240 pixels)
Processor: 393MHz ST Micro 8810
RAM/ROM: 128MB/128MB

Samsung finally announced the release date of 8MP Memoir that will be reaching the Americans via T-Mobile. The phone is due on Feb 25 at an affordable price of $299.

Samsung officially unveiled (again) the phone at Mobile World Congress today and roped in model and photographer, Helena Christensen for the promotion. The device as well as the image quality looks good. Oh yea, the above picture was in fact shot by Memoir. Have a look at more hi-res photos over here.

Check out the hands-on video below.

Samsung will be showing five touchscreen phones at the MWC which kicks off from tomorrow. The lineup consists of the phones which we already know – Beat DJ, S8300 Ultra Touch, Blue Earth, Omnia HD and a new one – from the Beat series, Beat Disc.

While S8300 and Blue Earth’s official deets are out, so I’ll run down through the details of Omnia HD and the Beat Series. Omnia HD (I8910)has a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen and is touted to have the world’s first 8 megapixel camera with HD (720p) video recording support.

The Beat DJ (M7600) and Beat DISC (M6710) phones have an unusual design and the Beat DISC reminds me of Nokia’s outdated 3650. Anyways, the phones have an UI which is called as Disc UI and will feature a DJ turntable software.
