CES January 7, 2011

We’re still deep in day two of this year’s Consumer Electronics Show and apparently Samsung has already moved on. Speaking at CES on Friday, Samsung’s president of mobile J. K. Shin discussed the company’s big plans for Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month. “We will continue to keep our technology leadership this year. In terms of dual-core applications, we already have a program, and next month at Mobile World Congress we will unveil it,” Shin said at the show. Shin went on to note, “In February at MWC, we will unveil our next-generation tablet device portfolio in detail.” According to the exec, Samsung’s 4G strategy will soon begin moving toward 4G. The company will release new smartphones and tablets, and both WiMAX and LTE devices will be included in Samsung’s future portfolio. Shin also stated that new Windows Phone 7 smartphones would be announced at MWC next month, along with both 3G and 4G tablets.

    Sprint emBARRASSED ME at CES. . . they better have something to show for MWC

      Samsung better do a Epic 4G with the addition of a dual core processor, 1g of RAM, and a FM radio.

      And PLEASE, copy HTC’s QWERTY, drop the number row, and embed the numbers into the aplha keys in a calculator pattern like the (AT&T Tilt).

      I think a 4.3″ screen would be the finishing touch.

    Are they also prepping some proactive software upgrade paths?

      pfft, i just hope they skip their own UI entirely and just start making everything like the Nexus S.

    This is just because they were upstaged at CES with other companies dual core products.

      They already have a dual core chip they been working on, i believe its called Orion. I dont think it was ready to be put on show at CES so they just decided to push off the display until MWC (if u havent seen it, go to Engadget and check the video of the Atrix in action, it freezes up on the display guy so i dont think even that is fully complete yet.) I could be biased because im a Samsung fan, so i hope to see something that makes me not wanna dry hump the Atrix, or unfortunately i will be leaving the Sammy bandwaggon,for now at least…I would love a nice dual core, 1 gig ram and super AMOLED plus…that would be sweet =).

        ok you’re confusing me. The Atrix is a Motorola device and yes none of those devices today are finalized which is why they are not coming out until mid this year.

        I was just kidding mostly. I love my Fascinate and will not be buying a dual core phone until end of year when hopefully all manufacturers have something out so I can once again make the best choice when I move to LTE.

        But you know darn well, Sammy only made this comment due to all the other higher end phones demoed that are better than the nameless item they showed, the i520.

        I know…im gunna get the Atrix if Sammy doesnt launch something that wows me.

        I have the Captivate now on ATT, and i kinda wanna keep my love of the AMOLED screen alive (my past 3 phones have had it.) I wanna try out the new screen, like i would get the Infuse in a heart beat if Moto decided to not show up at this event. Unfortunately for Sammy they did, so not they have to try and win me back.

        I think thats 1 of the reasons. I really think they didnt have one at CES is because it wasnt ready to be displayed…maybe they are gunna show it before they planned because Moto PWNED them, but i dont think they thats their only reason, for showing ithe Orion now.

    Sweet, just what we need! More Samsung products that will be full of bugs and never get updated.

    Samsung, I beg of you since HTC is dropping the ball, Epic 4G type of device for WP7 on Sprint and I will jump back to your camp.
