Yes, folks, you read that right. There’s the original Galaxy Grand, the just announced Galaxy Grand 2, and in a couple of months, there will be another Galaxy Grand sandwiched in between, dubbed the Galaxy Grand Lite (GT-I9060), according to one of our insiders. The device will be showcased at the MWC in late February, and is*something of a cross Grand and Grand 2 – it will have a 5-inch WVGA screen, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB internal storage with microSD slot, and a 2,100mAh battery.
Where it differs is the camera and Android version. The camera is expected to be a 5-megapixel unit on the rear and a very standard VGA camera on the front; our insider says the phone will run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean – that’s probably just temporary, and the final product should have at least Android 4.3 out of the box. Dual SIM support is pretty much a given as well, as the Galaxy Grand has been a success in markets where phones with two SIM slots are quite popular (such as India and China), though that’s something we can’t confirm at this point.

The Galaxy Grand Lite will be available in white, “Midnight Black”, “Lime Green”, and orange, from somewhere around the fifth week of 2014 (a couple of weeks before the MWC showcase). Why is Samsung making a Galaxy Grand Lite? Well, that’s a tough question to answer – it looks like the Korean company is taking things a step further when it comes to having multiple variants of their devices, this time extending the tradition to a device that comes somewhere in the lower mid-range spectrum of the market. It’s not a move that makes any sense to us, but hey, we aren’t making the decisions over at Samsung HQ.

yes you are right. that's Samsung strategy :I
Nokia at its height did the same... they diversified their products and tried to satisfy all kinds of consumer... let's just hope Samsung's fate will be different from Nokia now...

Lol.....there was a time when NOKIA was at its highest peak. But in the course of time,it starting descending very poorly. You know why,because of their poor software. Symbian was good at initial stage but afterwards it couldn't stand firm in the growing android and ios competition. I had Nokia n8 and its OS was more than crap and slow. There was lack of development for it and most importantly less number of apps. In addition to these reosons there were also many flaws in It which lead SYMBIAN to its DEATH. While if we move to SAMSUNG,I don't think so same thing will happen with it. Because Samsung phones run ANDROID which is one of the best OSes in today's market. And hopefully it will grow more and more rapidly with the course of time. The prime reoson which can cause SAMSUNG to its death is its softare optimization. The Ui and physical condition. But Samsung Is keeping its place by doing well with its UI. Well let's hope for better for both

List of devices from Samsung that will be upgraded to ICS. Upgrading will be started at 1Q 2012 in Korea. It's from Samsung Electronic official blog.
There is confusion between samsungs in different regions, take a look at this:

That's just same as what Samsung told us(Koreans) few weeks ago "Not yet been determined"

Holy brown stuff, they consider our phone optimized for gingerbread!
Why do i need the following to get a reasonable performance:
- a different file system
- a different partitioning (tegrak)
- a tweaked kernel
- init scripts to turn things on/off that sammy forgot
The whole idea of updatable software running on fixed hardware is to be able to expand hardware lifetime and offer expandable functionality.
The least they could do is to offer the community proper access to all the code, source and/or usable binaries, needed to continue the development after they drop support.
SGS is a great phone, although it never did what was promised like gps or hdmi out.
As a programmer i am disgusted by the IT hardware industry. There is no relation between manufacturing costs and selling costs. And now we even seem to be forced to throw away functioning hardware with more computing power then we could imagine 20 years ago. And why do we have to polute this way?
Silly copyrights and unused patents.
If they will not release offical update to ics i will never buy any samsung device anymore.Apple here i come here i go =)

Atleast Apple fanboys get updates for approx 3 years
i'll buy an iPhone 5 if it will have a bigger screen ! **** samsung and **** android
300million devices sold 2011 a big part should be sgs can't they give us some love? I hope they will leak ICS roms anyway like they are doing with gb now. and since nexus s got it, they can't blame the hardware for being outdated.

Galaxy S optimized for gingerbread? Very sad to know Samsung is putting it that way. I guess it is a big disappointment for us 10 million+ Galaxy S users.
This surely keeps me away from buying Samsung Android handsets, or even any android handset for that matter. I begin to see how fragmentation is a problem in Android. My 3rd generation iPod Touch running iOS 5 with a 600 mhz processor and 256 MB of RAM is more stable and snappy than my Galaxy S with a 1200 mhz (OCed) processor and 512 MB of RAM. Funny thing is, it still gets software updates despite being almost a 3 year old product. The Galaxy S isn't even out for 2 years yet.
I think, the just don't see how they can port ics with tw3. Obviously, they can't do aosp either (being a Samsung device). Only option is to get a cm9 mod or custom rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Oh well, that's to be expected from Samsung anyway. I wonder how many of the 10 million ppl bought this handset will ever buy from them again.
I bought my I9000 keeping this in mind anyway. CM9 FTW!
Well, looks like we will not be left in the dusk when new waterproof phones release in the market later this year. Send your Samsung Galaxy Note to Liquipel to get your phone water-proofed NOW! This is not a marketing gimmick. Using nanotechnology it is very similar to HzO. However, this process can be applied on existing phones that do not feature HzO technology! Amazing huh?
http://www.liquipel.com/
It's the "how to be without your device for x days" that I wouldn't want.
If it came that way, it's one thing, but this device is is my work device.
Yeah, I could go use my old Dell Streak for X days, but it would tick me
off having to use it LOL.
The first thing it asks you is the model of your phone and the Galaxy Note or Galaxy anthing is not a choice.
I am sure this does not mean they cannot do it but I do not think they have tested our phone to make sure it does work. Until it is on their list, I do not believe they will accept our phone.
I would call but I would not do it since I have never let any of my phone even get close to water...and I have insurance on them if they did .
I did however, ask my daughter to consider it for her iphone 4s since who know what she is doing with it...
Im wondering if this will interfere with the head dissipation of the chips if it is done at a manufacturing level.
I would love to have this on my devices!
1. pay them $
2. send them my phone
3. waterproof magic??!

Technology Recently Introduced by Liquipel!
Well, Liquipel is a new company. It recently started, so gradually over the next few weeks - months, they will add most of the popular devices to their lists, including S2 and Note. This technology seems promising.
Check out their YouTube Channel,
http://www.youtube.com/user/liquipel?feature=watch
I emailed Liquipel about doing the Note and got this reply. Note is not one of their approved/tested devices yet but they will treat it. Cost $59. I may do it when I get my ATT Note
"Hello,
Thanks for your inquiry! That device is not currently on our approved device list but we are constantly doing research and development to expand the available devices. Liquipel is applicable to all types of electronic devices but with a varying degree of performance. For devices not on the approved device list we are still able to make them splash proof and spill resistant. We will file your request and notify you when the device is available if you are not interested in having it treated before it is added to the approved device list. If you desire to have our coating applied to your device before we have tested and approved said device to meet our high standards, we can do so. Simply select an approved device from the list & complete the checkout and mail in process through our website (Liquipel.com) as usual. Please include a note stating you are aware that your device is not the device you had selected, and that you would like to move forward with the treatment of the unapproved device. At this time cellular devices as well as iPods are just 59.00. IPads are 69.00. Thank you greatly for your inquiry.
--
Thanks,
Liquipel Team"
Um...
Would you all still apply Liquipel even though the Note is currently NOT mentioned as one of their approved devices?
As in Liquipel advertisment, only see Iphone#$% (lack stamina) need waterproof, my Note needn't

Yes I would do it. My friend did his Canon 5DmkII dslr and he's happy. Only problem for me would be time without my new Note. I wonder why they don't test more phones.
That's because they just started the process, though they have been out there since late '11,
I saw this the other day...looks interesting. My only worry would be from watching the iPhone on the vid,how do they waterproof the headphone port. idk neat invention none the less

On 23 April, Samsung begun a countdown for the next galaxy with an anagram.

Yesterday, the countdown finally stopped and a teaser for the upcoming galaxy was posted.
SUMMARY OF VIDEO ACCORDING TO ME----
The video begins in the wilderness showing a distant city, all lit up in the night. The camera then zooms into outer space along with text that reads ‘Where a galaxy fits perfectly into your hand’. This is a subtle hint that the phone won’t be as massive as the Galaxy Note or possibly, the Galaxy Nexus. I have a feeling Samsung may just stick to the 4.3-inch screen but with a much higher resolution. This makes perfect sense and I hope they do that.
The camera then pans out across different galaxies along with another line, ‘Your view of the world grows even wider’. This could hint at the aspect ratio of the new phone. Any Other Guess! Anyone.
Then, it goes deeper into the universe and text appears, "AS YOU GAIN THE POWER TO EXPLORE IT FREELY & SWIFTLY', this time i'm cluelss.
Here comes the funniest part, the iSheeps, which shows a herd of sheep and the line, ‘…everyone else’.
The video ends with the Samsung logo and those very same blobs of metallic paint we saw in the invite. This definitely hints to the type of material used in the chassis of the S III or if not, at least the colours it will be available in. Sadly, at this moment, we don’t have any real clue about the phone itself and looking at how Samsung is hyping their next-gen Galaxy phone, I really doubt those leaked pictures are the real deal.
It appears as if Samsung is trying to throw us off the track here into thinking that the GT-I9300 is indeed the S III, which it isn’t (at least, that’s what we hope). Only a few days are left for Samsung’s Mobile Unpacked 2012 event which will take place on May 3, so see you then.
So we let us suprise. Wow !!

This may be our first real picture:
I still hope there will be more than one device revealed on May 3rd.
Three stones on the invitation card: one small, one medium, one large.
Could be a phone, a phablet (note) and a tablet

I voted "don't know" it depends on a number of factors, it will have to beat the SGSII in every department for it to outsell it, price too will be a factor, many countries are in deep recession and many people cannot afford the luxury of shelling out big money on a smartphone so i hope Samsung don't vastly overcharge, €599 is far too much this is the figure that was given on the Amazon German website

With the Galaxy S3 being a huge success for Samsung, all eyes are on their S4 to follow up on that and Samsung isn’t slacking. In fact, looks like they’re already working on it and have plans to debut it early next year.

Rumors are already abound with the specs of the device, which include a 4.99-inch, Full HD Super AMOLED screen, a pixel density of 441 ppi, Adonis Exynos 5400 Series Chipset, at least 2GB of RAM, and an Cortex-A15 processor. Also, better contrast and refresh rates along with lower power consumption is in the cards. And Mobile Choice reports that Samsung plans to demo the phone at CES 2013 to release it on March 2013 instead of its usual summer release.
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
19 Nov 2012
First glimpse of Samsung Galaxy S IV coming soon
Company likely to show off 5-inch full HD display in January
Screens are becoming a key battleground when it comes to smartphones these days, so it's no surprise to hear that Samsung is set to show off the screen for its next flagship smartphone ahead of the phone itself.
Samsung will demonstrate a 4.99-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display at CES 2013, according to sources in Korea, who in turn cite inside sources from the company. The AMOLED panel is said to be 'very thin', with low power consumption, as well as high contrast and refresh rate. It also has 441ppi pixel density, which is more or less perfect human vision.
All well and good, but the problem right now is Samsung's ability to turn that technology into mass production. If the company can do that (and we really wouldn't be surprised of they do), the screen will be the one used in the Samsung Galaxy S IV, which is scheduled for launch in the second quarter of 2013.
Offering a full HD AMOLED will be a huge and unique selling point, so we suspect Samsung is currently working round the clock to get those production methods just right. If you happen to be anywhere a Samsung installation and you hear the sound of breaking glass, that's probably what is going on.
Regardless of that, the test screen should be shown off in less than a couple of months. We'll be there to get eyes-on to see it in action.

I mean I'm happy with my S3 but if I believed all the rumours I should be carrying around something they use in Star Trek right now.
because it is galaxy s3 so u should post this in galaxy s4 section
hey guys this might be a little off topic but i just want a little discussion about the GS4 as i am eagerly waiting for that March 14th release! I am very excited and probably will purchase it a few days after release Iv'e been very happy with Samsung and their brilliant devices, and most probably stick with them for a while now, the S2 is still an amazing phone and i will miss it :'( but time to move onto its older brother
There are many amazing leaked specifications and I've got my fingers crossed for the octa processor! This will truly be an amazing device and feature many awesome specs!
Tell me what you guys think the GS4 will feature Will it have an Octa Cpu?
Also what feature are you most excited for in the S4?
Anyone else going to get the GS4? Why or why not

It seems as if Note has been merged with S series. S2 's size is perfect. It should be a smartphone & not a phablet or tablet.

Samsung is the worst company when it is based on design.... They use same design for almost all cell
Eg ppl get confused between galaxy s3 and grand.... Itz going to happen with s4 and grand again :l
They should use different device for galaxy s series, note series and other devices
