Wait no more. Google and Samsung have just made the long-awaited Galaxy Nexus (not longer theNexus Prime, as we’d once heard) official here in Hong Kong, and the specifications are downright drool-worthy. Those with bantam hands need not apply, as this 4.65-inch behemoth is bound to bring back talk of Sidetalkin’. Naturally, Ice Cream Sandwich is onboard, with Google finally revealing the version number as 4.0. Other specs include an HD Super AMOLED display (1,280 x 720), a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 5 megapixel rear camera (with LED flash), a 1.3 megapixel front-facing cam, 1080p video recording and playback, a newfangled panorama mode, a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth 3.0. You’ll also find USB 2.0, 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, an embedded NFC module, accelerometer, compass, gyro, proximity sensor and even a barometer — yeah, a barometer. Finishing things out, there’s 1GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal storage space and a 1,750mAh battery. As for radios? There’s an HSPA+ model on tap, while an LTE version will “be available depending on region.” There’s nary a mention of carrier in the press release we’re holding, but based on earlier leaks, a 4G build for Verizon Wireless seems a lock.

Focusing on Ice Cream Sandwich for a tick, Android 4.0 will bring “an entirely new look and feel to Android,” boasting a redesigned user interface, bolstered multitasking / notifications, full-on NFC support and a new People app, which enables users to browse friends, family and coworkers’ photos whilst peeking their status updates from Google+. ICS also introduces Face Unlock, which taps into facial recognition protocols in order to unlock your handset. And then there’s Android Beam, an NFC-based technology that allows you to “quickly share webpages, apps and YouTube videos by simply tapping two phones together.” According to Goog, the “lock screen, home screen, phone app and everything in between has been rethought and redesigned,” and this is quite the beastly phone to launch with. Pics and a link to register for more info await you below, and PR per usual is after the break.

Rumors are spreading that Samsung is going to unveil something BIG on their new unpacked event expected on 11th October 2011. Samsung give a small hint about this on their video uploaded on YouTube. But they did not explained anything more about the event or about what they going to unveil. Anyway we can wait for that unpacked event to see the next amazing product from Samsung. !

You have seen voice control feature of Samsung Galaxy S II . Now, this is available in Samsung Galaxy SL too. Samsung uses an app named Vlingo to do this. Now, you can download Vlingo from android market and start commanding your phone.

Vlingo has two modes. 1) Normal talk mode and 2.)In car Mode. This is in beta stage but works good. InCar mode is completely handsfree.This mean you can control your mobile while you are driving.

To wake up the phone, just say ” Hey Vlingo !”.  Now, your galaxy will ask ” What do you want to do ? ”  Now say anything, for example ” Send Message to ReviewsNext Good Morning”.

You can call, message, navigate etc with Vlingo. But the downside is that, in carmode, excess battery is drained!!

You can see a video of Galaxy SL voice talk here :

Download Vlingo From Here (requires Android Version 2.0.1 and up) : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vlingo.client

It has been about many months we are waiting for the new Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for Samsung Galaxy SL ( i9003 ). But there was no news regarding this. But now Samsung replied us in twitter that, this update will be ready in about second week of July. They are hardly working on the update. Lets hope there will be new fixes and features in the new update.

The Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 mobile will get Android 2.3 Gingerbread update by July last 2011. This news was seen on their twitter updates.

Also, the GALAXY S i9000 is going to get Gingerbread by May in India

This is definitely surprising and unpleasant news all at the same time. After all, the AMOLED screen technology is one feature which gives Samsung a considerable edge over the competition in the mobile device market. I can’t help but wonder, how difficult could the process of manufacturing an AMOLED tablet screen be? With the Samsung Galaxy S2 sporting a 4.3? Super AMOLED screen, growing its gorgeous screen by a couple of inches and fitting it into a tablet can’t be that much trouble for a company like Samsung, right? What do you think?
