The Galaxy S line was such a hit that Google even gave its latest "Nexus" phone to Samsung. Not just that, the Google even gave up the naming convention it’s been using to date, allowing Samsung’s "Galaxy" branding to come before the Nexus name. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was born.
But what about Samsung’s bread and butter? What about its own Galaxy S line?
With Mobile World Congress not too far away now it had been expected that we would be seeing some movement from the Koreans, with the show offering a great place to announce a new handset.
That suggestion has been blown out of the water at late, and Samsung’s own executives seem to think that the whole Samsung Galaxy S III thing is under review. That almost confirms there will be no announcement just yet.
It’s entirely possible that Samsung is concerned about a new Galaxy S handset cannibalizing the current Galaxy S sales and is currently mulling over when to bring the highly anticipated handset to market.
All that said, a photo has popped up of what appears to be the Samsung UAE website, with the new handset showing in a drop-down list. The Samsung GT-I9300 as it is expected to be known, is clearly visible in a list that includes all of Samsung’s smartphones. Does that mean someone somewhere at Samsung is being a little coy about release dates, or has someone had a case of the itchy trigger finger and sent a page live that wasn’t ready?

this kind of thing is becoming often day after day. i don't think it is someone`s mistake to let information about smartphones and other gadgets being know before their release... this is marketing!
anyway, galaxy s is for sure one of the best smartphones line ever, and a new release would be awesome!
lame, no photo. lame.

Woho! I don't know much about the nuts and bolts of developing/hacking a custom ROM together - but is it safe to assume we'll be able to finally get the ICS drivers for the Tab 10.1 out of this and apply it to CM9/AOKP/etc?

Not yet,
I have kept my tab stock and will do so until the official ics is out. I just checked before making this post.
When I get it, I'll update here unless someone else beats me to the punch like the Canadian 3.2 update.

Edit. In Canada the Rogers tabs recieved 3.2 before the wifi only models....grumble! So someone with a Canadian 4g model may want to check as well.

does it matter if the wifi only tab is rooted only or not? I haven't received any updates but only thing I did to it was root it.

Unfortunately just Samsung releasing the an ICS rom for our tabs won't fix in a single thing in cm9 until Samsung releases the kernel source code that they have to by law(GPL licencing). This kernel source code is what will allow developers to get the camera working on cm9. Samsung seems to release the source code within a couple of weeks after an official rom release. Which sounds bad, but unfortunately Samsung is one of the fastest companies to release source code, some can take months. Even with the source code, to get the camera to work on cm9 will take a lot of effort to do, it's not just as simple as dragging and dropping something and could take a little to a lot of time to fix. With out this source code, an official ICS rom is meaningless for development of cm9. In other words even after we get ICS from Samsung, we still have a long and bumpy ride. I hope this helps you
connected to kies and no update was found....sad face
Got my hopes up for nothing almost time to root agen
I have a completely stock "4G" rogers tab and nothing so far.
Thanks for the quick updates everyone! I'm hoping to get this before my trip on wednesday but I probably shouldn't hold my breath.
I currently have a CM9 kang on here, if I follow the overcome instructions to get back to stock, will that leave me with stock US or is it generic? What differentiates the two models?
Cheers

You need to return to stock in order to receive OTA updates.

I just got an update on my WiFi Tab 10.1, but it's not ICS... it says Android 3.2. The update gave me a new back button (it's curved now) and a new app called AllShare. Was this an update that I totally missed that came out earlier? When did it come out?
Also, when ICS does come, will I get it sooner OTA or via Kies?
Damn Canadians!!! lol jk
saw an update after engadgets news about ics update, was excited until i realized it is not ics its just 3.2 after it finished update
Damn this thread! It is making me restore my backup I made in anticipation of ICS lol
no update for 4g tab on rogers...

Note Pro is 12.2 inches with S-pen.
Tab Pros are 8,10.1 and 12.2 inch devices with same UI as Note Pro 12.2 but no S-pen.
And Note 2014 is a 10.1 inch device with S-pen. However has old UI but hopefully an update to kitkat soon will change that.
So really the only difference apart from size is Note series has S-pen and Tab Pro series doesnt.
Hope that helps lol.
Which is better well depends on your needs really all are very high spec devices.

What about RAM, storage, resolution, display type (SAMOLED or LCD?), CPU and GPU?
I love my Note 3 and want something with 3GB of RAM so it can be more future proof. AFAIK, only the 12.2" version of the new models will have 3GB of RAM correct?
Note 10.1 2014 has 3gb of ram

A comparison of the N10.1-14 against the new tablets using Samsung's press release as a base...
[We have it] The Samsung Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO present the world’s first 12.2-inch (or 8.4-inch/10.1-inch) WQXGA Widescreen (16:10) display, offering crystal clear resolution (2560x1600)
[We’re getting it; at least in some form] A personalized Magazine UX, specifically optimized for a large screen, allows users to further tailor their Galaxy tablet experience for their own needs. The UX enables them to organize their favorite content in an easy-to-use dashboard with automatic feed or news updates and then quickly access the most frequently used apps for a more comfortable reading experience.
[We have it; “four windows” is probably for the 12” models only] Multi Window enables users to split the screen up into four different windows and an innovative, Virtual Keyboard provides them with enough space to type comfortably, leveraging haptic feedback to produce a more realistic typing experience.
[We have it] The Samsung S Pen included with the Galaxy NotePRO delivers a more responsive, productive and overall efficient tablet experience with access to features such as Action Memo, Scrapbook, Screen Write and S Finder. In addition, Pen Window enables users to simply draw a window of any size on the screen, and instantly access unique in-application features such as YouTube or a calculator.
[Unknown if we’ll get it] Users can easily access and control their home or office PC directly through their Galaxy NotePRO or TabPRO with Remote PC in order to seamlessly edit and save files remotely.
[Unknown if we’ll get it] The Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO also come pre-loaded with Cisco WebEx Meetings platform, the industry’s leading web conferencing solution that provides users with an easy way to meet with anyone, anywhere. And now for the first time on Android tablets, users can share anything on their screen as well as starting a WebEx meeting from contact list. Samsung e-Meeting provides collaboration capabilities by giving users the ability to share content during a meeting without having to access a central server or network.
[We have the one’s in green; the other's are unknown] For additional value and productivity right out of the box, the Samsung Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO (12.2) will feature up to approximately $700 worth of the premium pre-paid, long-term subscription offers from best-selling news, social media and cloud storage providers, including: Bitcasa, Bloomberg Businessweek＋, Blurb, Cisco WebEx Meetings, Dropbox, Easilydo Pro for Tablet, Evernote, Hancom Office for Android, LinkedIn, LIVESPORT.TV, NY Times, Oxford Advanced Learner’s A-Z, and Sketchbook Pro (content packages may vary by region).
[The accessories that aren't size dependent should be compatible, the LAN adapter is unknown. The 12” tablets have an additional port on their right side] Designed to extend productivity even further, the following optional accessories are also available for purchase with the Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO: Various Book Covers, USB LAN HUB, Universal BT Keyboard and S Action Mouse (accessories may vary by product model).
[We don’t have MIMO but the new 8.4” and 10.1” tablets don’t either] Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac MIMO (2.4 & 5 GHz), Wi-Fi Direct, AllShareCast, BT4.0.
And I know, the devs (all two of them ) might be able to port some of the features and functionality we aren't getting over. But some of us can't root because of KNOX so consider the above list for those for whatever reason are stuck with what Samsung provides.
There are no differences between Note 10.1 2014 and Note Pro 12,2 except the screen size, i believe and there is no reason for Samsung not to update the Note 10.1 2014 with the new UI.

There are reasons.
It's been discussed to death in the thread linked below. Bottom line is until we see what the Pro/Notes come with and what the N10.1-14 gets (some form of M-UX is the only thing that's certain because it appeared on the microsite) after they're released no one here can say with certainty the N10.1-14 will be brought up to "Pro" level; even though that's what we all hope/want/wish.

They have every reason not to upgrade. They want to sell people on the new featured which means they want peop, e to buy the new device so the get money from device sales.
I have been a long time consumer of samsung products and ifmyou look at it we wait on averagr,8 to 9 months for OS upgrades wnile mamh other devices and manufacturesnalready have them. Samsung is the best for Android but not good with updates.

They got much more to lose, not to update N2014 with new M.UX and bad publicity is always something companys want to avoid. But we already know that N2014 will get 4.4 with new M.UX. If there is hardware limitations, then its understandable, since there isnt and there are no reason N.2014 wont get new M.UX.
Also, u are wrong about Samsung with updates, they are indeed the best of all OEMs with updates and dont know where u get from they are bad with updates?
Which OEM are better with updates then Samsung?

M-UX is now listed as a feature on the N10.1-14 site. So people buying it have the expectation and an "implied" commitment from Samsung that they'll be getting it. In fact, those that don't follow technology news like we do will probably call Samsung support to ask where it is if they buy a N10.1-14 before the M-UX update's released. If I were to bet I'd say we'll get it either when the Tab|Pro 10.1 goes up for sale/pre-sale or possibly even before. I say before because what incentive does Samsung have to push people toward a cheaper tablet (Tab|Pro 10.1) by letting the N10.1-14's update languish? We may get it after the Tab/Note|Pro 12's go on sale to give them some time on the market with M-UX exclusively both before we get the update and the Tab|Pro 10.1's released. Samsung wants to sell tablets in top-down order of price. So bigger screens and S Pen go to the top of the list because those devices make Samsung more and have higher margins.

Where in the site you saw this, I just went to the site and didn't saw it.
The Tap Pro series only have 2 GB of ram, only the Note 10.1 2014 and Note Pro 12.2 have 3 GB of RAM.
Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk
IMHO I think it would be better if they upgraded the Note 10.2014 to KK 4.4 and whatever else before they release the Note/Tab Pro range as those who have the 2014 Note will either sing the praise or decry the device and it's operation and usage. If it works well then Samsung get free advertising from customers which will knock spots off any reviews out there but if we decry it due to this and that then they will be able to tweak anything that customers find wrong before they go on sale.
To me that's the way to do business but of course Samsung will think differently I bet lol.

Official specs from Samsung on the N10.1-14, Note|Pro 12 (Tab|Pro is the same sans S Pen), and Tab|Pro 10.1. I've highlighted in red what's different on the latter from the N10.1-14. The Tab|Pro 10.1 specs says it has Wi-Fi channel bonding while the N10.1-14's doesn't. It might and just never got included in the initially published specs.

That is crazy! Samsung really did take out a full 1 gb of RAM in the new Note 10.1! I think that means if Samsung stops making the 10.1 v2014, then that model should hold its value fairly well, maybe?
http://phandroid.com/2014/02/18/samsung-galaxy-kitkat-official/
We’d already gotten word from an inside source that Samsung had big plans for KitKat, and those rumors have just become reality. Samsung has just officially announced that 14 different Galaxy devices will be receiving the upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat. That’s a lot of devices, so let’s not waste any time and jump right into it:
Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini
Samsung Galaxy Mega
Samsung Galaxy Light
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition
Samsung made it a point to mention that “select” carrier editions of all these devices would get it, which pretty much means it’s up to your carrier to decide whether or not they’ll ultimately bring it to their version of any of these. We have a feeling quite a few of the devices on this list are going to be updated on nearly every carrier imaginable, though, so we wouldn’t worry too much about missing out.
This upgrade doesn’t add a ton of new features on Samsung’s side of the court, as the manufacturer brought most significant changes in the Android 4.3 upgrade that preceded it. Here’s what’s new in case you’re interested:

Of course, everything else new to KitKat as a whole can be found in our big FYI post right here, so be sure to take a gander in case you’re interested in more of the under-the-hood changes making this thing tick.
In case you haven’t heard, the Samsung Galaxy S4 upgrade has already started rolling out on Sprint here in the United States, while the Galaxy Note 3′s upgrade has started rolling out overseas.
Samsung says updates will “start” rolling out today, which you should take to mean that only certain devices, in certain regions and on certain carriers will be seeing an immediate rollout. It’ll likely take a few weeks — maybe months — for the upgrade to reach everyone on all these different devices, so you’ll have to be a little patient if you don’t get it sooner than you can say “break me off a piece of that KitKat bar.

I feel Left out with the note 4. Samsung didn't implent many things in the note 4 Lollipop update for the sake of selling the s6. Like the Debloated/slimmed touchwiz, multi-grid support, themes support and most importantly, the new lollipop camera API or the manual controls and RAW support.
But will our Note 4 get these features in upcoming updates; 5.1.x for example, after selling the s6 maybe?
Isn't that changing policy that Samsung seeks? or is it only when it comes to new customers and potential buyers of new devices?!
