Android 2.2 is coming to Samsung Galaxy S in September

According to Samsung UK Mobile twitter account, they tweeted that the international version of Galaxy S will receive the Android 2.2 update in September. About three days ago, the Galaxy S owners could update their device using the leaked update for Android 2.2. But there are reports saying that the update is still very buggy and unstable. Considering all of those stuffs, I think it is safer to wait for the official release on September.

Hopefully, after the update, Samsung also will fix the occasional lag that I had experienced when I'm playing with the Galaxy S at the ICS a couple of weeks ago. We'll keep you posted about it!

Samsung prepares to sell a MicroUSB to HDMI cable for the Galaxy S

We knew that the new Android-based smartphone from Samsung, the Galaxy S, is capable of playing an HD quality video either straight from the phone or by using a composite cable then watch it on TV. But Samsung isn't going to stop there, taken from their official website, they're going to sell a cable that converts a video signal thats gone through the MicroUSB cable and then convert it to HDMI for an easy connectivity to your favorite HDTV or HD Monitor.

According to the product page, the cable will cost you around $50.

Rumored: Samsung Galaxy Q, packs with Froyo and QWERTY keyboard

Samsung seems preparing the next Android phones, after introducing Samsung Epic 4G / Galaxy S Pro (another Galaxy S with slider QWERTY keyboard) and now Galaxy Q.

According to Samsung's specs leak, Galaxy Q will sports with 3 inch Super AMOLED display (720 x 480 pixel). This screen is smaller than Samsung Galaxy S I think, 8 megapixel camera + LED flash and 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. This phone will run Android 2.2 Froyo powered by 1Ghz Hummingbird processor.

Judging by the dimensions 120 mm x 68 mm x 9,25 mm, Galaxy Q seems to be a cell phone with the candy bar form factor and a QWERTY keyboard below. Some people on the AndroidForums says this phones will become a BlackBerry rival. Unfortunately until now there is no image yet for the Galaxy Q device.

More photos of Samsung Galaxy S

Here's a few more photos of the Galaxy S from last week's ICS. I mentioned that I couldn't find the Samsung booth but I did spot the Galaxy S at the show. This is a different unit from the one Bayu was looking at as you can see from the baseband and kernel versions as well as the lack of connectivity widgets across the status bar. I didn't get to play with this phone much which is why Bayu's the one with the more complete first look.

While the camera and the screen look pretty impressive, the overall build quality of this phone feels rather cheap and plasticky (perhaps the fact that it's fully clad in plastic actually legitimizes this) but it's seriously light. For a phone that costs over $700 outright (Telkomsel is selling it for Rp 6,499,000, no subsidies), you'd expect it to feel sturdy and tough, but it doesn't feel that way.

Being used to the iPhone with 3.5 inch screen though, holding the 4-inch Galaxy S almost feels like holding a tablet. It's pretty damn big. 

When he mentioned that the app drawer resembles the iOS, he wasn't kidding, check it out below.

First Impression: Samsung Galaxy S at ICS

Samsung Galaxy Beam launched in Singapore

Another Android based smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Beam went on sale this weekend in Singapore via Starhub. The Galaxy Beam is the world's first smartphone with a built-in pico projector. The Galaxy Beam sports a 3.7" Super AMOLED display, Bluetooth 3.0, Allshare (DLNA), a front facing VGA camera in addition to 8 Megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash in the back. Like the Galaxy S, the Galaxy Beam will runs Android 2.1 combined with the TouchWiz UI 3.0.

Thanks to Samsung Singapore's website, we were able to see that the Galaxy Beam will be equipped with a 720 MHz TI OMAP3440. This is a bit surprising since, the ARM Cortex-A8-based OMAP3440's stock clock is actually 800MHz. Samsung probably decided to underclocked the device to provide a better battery life.

Rumor: Samsung Galaxy S 2 is in the works

Unwiredview has been reporting that there's a leaked information about the second generation of Samsung Galaxy S device - i9200. The specification of the device is pretty much expected as a successor of the Galaxy S. It will sports a 4.3" of Super AMOLED display with resolutions of 1280x720 pixels, a 2GHz processor along with 1GB of RAM, 8 megapixel camera and accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity and ambient light sensors.

This rumor might be too over the top as the pre-rendered image of the device looks very sketchy, but considering that both Motorola and HTC is working on a 2GHz smartphone, I think Sammy doesn't want to be left behind on the race of making the best device with 2GHz processor. If this rumor is true, then expect the device to be released around Q1 of 2011.
