Samsung has also decided to give new nomenclature to its upcoming Galaxy smartphones which will now carry the letters S, R, W, M, or Y.
Samsung has announced four new handsets in its Galaxy series running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The company has simplified the nomenclature of its Galaxy series which usually creates confusion among its potential users. As per the new naming strategy, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy series handsets will carry the names: Super Smart (S), Royal/Refined (R), Wonder (W), Magical (M) and Young (Y).
The flagship Android devices from Samsung will carry the Galaxy S branding where S stands for 'Super Smart'. Galaxy S series smartphones will be top of the line smartphones with large screens and heavy-horsepower hardware under the hood.
After that comes the premium model series, Galaxy R where R stands for 'Royal' or 'Refined'. The Galaxy R series devices will combine power, design and productivity but will not have all the features that the flagship model has.
In the higher segment falls the Galaxy W series in which W stands for 'Wonder'. The smartphone will feature high quality strategic models for those who want a stylish handset that can perform well.
The Galaxy M series - where M is for 'Magical' - will comprise handsets with decent performance at an economical price. The handsets in the Galaxy M series will fall under the mid-range segment.
Samsung Galaxy Y series, in which Y stands for 'Young', will be entry level handsets meant for emerging markets and the younger generation.
Each of the above mentioned Galaxy phones will carry further classification which would be the key selling point of the devices. All Galaxy series phones with the name 'Pro' will include a physical full Qwerty keyboard. While those Galaxy models branded 'Plus' will basically be an upgrade from existing models.
Meanwhile, the specifications of the new Samsung handsets are as follows:Galaxy W
Flaunting a 3.7 inch display, Galaxy W falls in the higher segment and houses a 1.4 GHz processor. The capacitive display can support WVGA (800 x 480 pixel) resolution and is capable for supporting 14.4 Mbps HSDPA (3G networks) for wireless connectivity.
Galaxy W features a 5 megapixel camera that we assume is capable of recording 720p video. Packing a massive 1500 mAh battery pack, Galaxy W uses Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi, and has access to a number of Samsung's services such as Social, Game and Music Hub. The phone supports the new Kies Air feature as well.
