Wow, AT&T. Instead of sending multiple device announcements on different days, the company just announced a few new smartphones and a tablet for i ts 4G LTE network, all of which are made by Samsung. Let's take a look, shall we?
Samsung Galaxy Express
The Galaxy Express seems to be sort of a tweener device. Not in terms of "your child between the ages of 10 and 12 will love it!" but in that it appears to be right in the middle of the Galaxy S III and some mid-range devices.
- 4.5" Super AMOLED display
- 1.5GHz dual-core processor
- 5MP rear shooter
- 2000mAh battery
- Android 4.0
Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro
Much like its predecessor, the Rugby Smart Pro is a rough and rugged mid-ranger. It's not the biggest powerhouse of bunch, but it is waterproof, shock resistant, and dust proof. If you're known to demolish phones, this may be one to consider if you're looking for a new handset.
AT&T didn't provide much in the way of specs, but we do know it has a 4-inch Super AMOLED display at 480x800, and a 5MP rear shooter. No word on processor, RAM, internal storage, or version of Android. Goo d job, AT&T.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
At this point, everyone is probably familiar with the Tab 2 10.1, so I'll skip the intro. The only thing d ifferent about this one is that it has LTE. Word.
- 10.1" 1280x800 display
- 1GHz dual-core processor
- 1GB RAM
- Android 4.0
They also took the time to remind folks that the Note II is coming... eventually. Sammy has an announcement planned for October 24 in New York, so we're pretty sure they're going to announce availability for all carriers at that time.
So far as the other devices announced today, they didn't peg price or availability on any of them. As soon as we find out, though, so will you.
