Yesterday there was a leak of a Samsung roadmap for upcoming devices. The roadmap as already been pulled from the reporting website and Samsung is already saying that the information is inaccurate.
The list included a 7-inch Galaxy Tab successor and a pair of devices running Ice Cream Sandwich. The tablet, P6200, is said to have a 7-inch Super AMOLED screen, Honeycomb 3.x, HSPA+, and dual lenses (3MP in the back and 2MP in the front). The P6210 seems to be a WiFi-only version with the same specs.
The GT-I9250 phone sports a 720p 4.65-inch display running ICS with a 5MP camera. No processor was listed here, but it would be surprising to see anything under a dual-core. A whopping 5.29-inch Super AMOLED screen at 720p is touted for second phone, the GT-I9920. This larger companion has a dual-core 1.4 GHz chip, an 8MP camera, and running Gingerbread 2.3. The rest of the list held nothing ground breaking or exciting mostly listing entry level devices.
All of this may be just a bunch of hot air though. Hit the break for Samsung’s statement on the list.
Samsung posted this:
Some media have been reporting that Samsung is preparing to launch nine new smartphones and two new tablet devices. While Samsung is continuously working on new devices for our customers, the details being cited are not accurate in this case.
We appreciate the interest in our upcoming mobile devices and will share more information once its available.
It’s nice to see that Samsung bothered to chime in, but there is no question there are a lot of devices on the horizon. There might be certain specs listed that are incorrect, but there is no question that they are working on a 720p phone, trust me. It just might not be as soon as we would like because we have yet to see the SGSII hit the U.S. Getting jazzed up about ICS and a 720p screen still seems a ways off.
What do you think about Samsung stepping in to say something about the list? Is a monster 5.29-inch screen on your smartphone going too far? Hit up the comments below.
