Samsung GT-I8200 to be a New Galaxy S III Mini Value Edition 2014

Samsung GT-I8200 to be a New Galaxy S III Mini

Samsung’s Galaxy S III Mini was originally released in November 2012 as a cheaper, less advanced alternative to that year’s S III flagship. It’s still a popular smartphone around the world, and at the moment it can be bought for around $230 unlocked. At $230, the S III Mini is already a pretty great value-for-money handset, so we were baffled to learn that a new “Value Edition” of it may be introduced soon. According to SamMobile, the Galaxy S III Mini Value Edition has the model number GT-I8200 - that’s a slight upgrade from the model number of the original S III Mini (GT-I8190). Unfortunately, there are no images to show the S III Mini Value Edition, and neither details on its features. We checked the FCC and the Bluetooth SIG, finding that the GT-I8200 was approved by both certification bodies last month (December 2013), so it appears to be a brand new device. There are two variations of the handset listed at the Bluetooth SIG: a GT-I8200N, which is seemingly made for Europe, and a GT-I8200L for South America. The FCC tested only the GT-I8200N, revealing that it comes with dual-band Wi-Fi and 3G (1900 MHz). The sketch of the GT-I8200N seen at the FCC suggests that this new S III Mini looks a lot like the old one, possibly exactly the same. Its specs (display, processor, etc.) could also be similar. We can only guess that the Galaxy S III Mini Value Edition will be cheaper than the model that’s currently available. But why exactly would Samsung bother to launch it? We don’t know, but perhaps the company will shed some light on this soon. It's said that Samsung plans to introduce a Galaxy Grand Lite and a Galaxy Note 3 Lite next month, so maybe the S III Mini VE will be unveiled then as well.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo leaked for New Images

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo

It seems that when we brought you the news about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo with our exclusive coverage of its features last week we opened some sort of floodgates. The phablet can't stay out of the spotlight ever since, making numerous appearances through live images, benchmark scores and the FCC certification process. Now, we have the press images of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo that show the design of the phablet in all its glory. According to a report from SamMobile, the device is now available for pre-ordering in Belgium and the upcoming phablet is said to carry a price tag of €599 (about $812). Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo sits right between the Galaxy Note 2 and the current flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 3. The smartphone will feature a 5.55-inch 720p Super AMOLED display, a brand new Exynos chipset with a hexa-core CPU (1.7GHz dual core + 1.3 GHz quad core), 2 GB of RAM, 8 megapixel rear camera, 16 GB internal memory and a 3,100mAh battery. The official announcement of the Galaxy Note 3 Neo might happen any day now, given the rate at which these leaks are coming. Worst case scenario, we'll have to wait until the Mobile World Congress, which kicks off on February 24 in Barcelona.

 Galaxy Note 3 Pink, Black, White

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 3 may be able to pick up the biggie phone in pink -- at least if they can wait several week before snagging it. The phone/tablet, or "phablet," will initially launch during the first week of September in black and white variations, according to SamMobile. It will then debut in pink by late October, the site said Friday, citing information from an inside source. The pink version of the Note 3 may or may not be exclusive to South Korea and Taiwan, SamMobile added.

In May, CEO J.K. Shin said that the new model will kick off at the IFA trade show in Germany in September, according to the Korea Times. Both SamMobile and Bloomberg have pegged September 4 as the specific date for the Note 3's unveiling. Assuming that date is correct, the phone will likely take the stage at Samsung's Unpacked Episode 2 event, along with the recently rumored Galaxy Gear smartphone.

Samsung has yet to reveal any specs for the Note 3. But insider information leaked to SamMobile claims there will be two variants of the phone. Both will offer a 5.68-inch Super AMOLED 1,920x1,080 display, a 13-megapixel camera, and a choice of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of internal storage.
