Samsung Unpacked at IFA 2013

Yesterday Samsung unveiled their flagship Android devices for the 2013 holiday season at an Unpacked event in Berlin, Germany. The Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 (2014) Edition, Samsung GALAXY Gear smartwatch and Samsung GALAXY Note 3 are going to be tempting you to spend your pocket money within the next month.

The Samsung GALAXY Note 3 is the 2013 iteration of Samsung's S Pen friendly phablet and has a 5.7" fullHD Super AMOLED screen. The Note 3 is powered by a quad core 2.3 GHz processor and 3GB of RAM and has 16GB/32GB of inbuilt storage which can be expanded with MicroSD cards. Samsung have improved the S Pen functionality and services with features which are also coming on other S Pen devices.

The Samsung GALAXY Gear is a smartwatch accessory which enhances you Samsung Galaxy experience. Compatible with most of the recent Samsung Galaxy flagships, it is essentially an extension of GALAXY Smartphones/phablets. It can be used to route calls to the smartphone, check notifications, take pictures and monitor biometrics. It also has a camera for fast image and/or video capture. Welcome to the world of Dick Tracy.

The pixel density enthusiast rejoiced when hearing the specs of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2013 Edition. The Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) also comes with a 2.3GHz quad-core CPU (for the LTE version), 3GB of RAM, and 16/32/64GB of internal storage. Its 10.1-inch screen is of 2560 x 1600 pixels resolution, and the 8MP main camera is capable of 1080p video recording at 60fps. I'm very tempted to get one of these...

After all this shininess has been presented, the ball is in Apple's court. Lets see what happens next week...
