2012 witnessed the launch of plenty of interesting Near Field
Communication (NFC) smartphones and looks like 2013 is going to be no
different in this regards. About
fortnight ago we had reported that
Samsung is working on Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos and Galaxy S II Plus.
According
to Unwired, Samsung is expected to launch two variants of Samsung
Galaxy S II Plus - GT-i9105, and GT-i9105P. The only difference between
these two Samsung devices will be that GT-i9105P will support NFC while
GT-i9105 will not.
Samsung has launched Samsung Galaxy S Plus in
August 2011 as an upgrade to Samsung Galaxy S. However, this time around
Samsung Galaxy S Plus II does not seem to be much of an upgrade. Reason
being Samsung Galaxy S Plus II is speculated to have the same 4.3-inch
screen with 480X800 pixel resolution like Samsung Galaxy S. Moreover,
instead of 1.2GHz processor, Samsung Galaxy S Plus II is expected to
have just a 1GHz processor.
On the positive side, Samsung Galaxy S Plus II will most likely be running on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
It
is being speculated that Samsung Galaxy S II Plus will be launched in
January 2013 and Sam Mobile claims that it will be available in two
colour options - Chic White and Dark Blue. However, there is no
information available in regards to what could be the price of this
smartphone
There are also speculations that Samsung will be
launching an upgraded version of Samsung Galaxy Pocket, which will be
dubbed Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus S5301.
