Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 is just round the corner and we are
sure to see an array of flagship smartphones from the leading players in
the industry. However, it is expected that we might also see some
interesting entry-level smartphones being unveiled at this event.
One
such product is the Samsung Galaxy Star. As per news reports in
SamMobile, Samsung is currently developing Galaxy Star GT-S5282, which
is a low-end Android smartphone. The website further claims that Samsung
Galaxy star will sport a 3.0-inch screen with QVGA resolution. It is
expected to have a 4GB of internal storage and a microSD slot that
supports cards up to 32GB.
SamMobile also mentions that the
smartphone will run on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and will be powered by a
1200mAh battery. The reported connectivity options for this smartphone
include Micro-USB, Wi-Fi- A-GPS and Bluetooth 4.0.
The smartphone
is expected to start shipping sometime in April this year. So far,
there is no word in regards to what could be the price for this
smartphone.
About a couple of years ago, Samsung was offering its
entry-level touchscreen feature phones under 'Star' series. However,
from the specifications it seems that Samsung Galaxy Star could be an
upgrade version of Samsung Galaxy Y smartphone.
The Korean chaebol
has already announced that it will be announcing TV Discovery service
at the MWC. As per the company, this service will offers a faster and
easier way for consumers to find and enjoy video and live TV content.
There are also rumours doing the rounds that Samsung is holding another
event on March 14, 2013 and is likely to showcase Galaxy S IV at this
event.
