Looks like Samsung dropped the bomb on what its going to offer Smartphone wise at the CES Summit in Vegas. They told us about the new Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and Samsung Exhilarate. Look for the Pantech Element, Pantech Burst and Sony Xperia Ion there.

New LTE Samsung smartphones include the Samsung Galaxy Note™, a 5.3-inch device combining the benefits of various mobile devices while maintaining smartphone portability, exhibited on stage by Dr. W.P. Hong, Head of Global Product Strategy Team, Samsung Electronics.

Samsung says that it’s “integrated” which could mean that the software is fully compatible with it or that it is included. We’re hoping they mean both but don’t surprised if it’s just the former. It will have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, likely of the Qualcomm Snapdragon variety due to its solid compatibility with AT&T’s LTE radios.

It has an 8  megapixel 1080p HD camera, a front facing camera and Android 2.3, though we expect Ice Cream Sandwich to be on its way sometime down the line. AT&T says it will be available “in the coming weeks” so those of you waiting for it shouldn’t have to wait too long.

Pantech Element

The Pantech Element is an 8 inch tablet with LTE radios and a waterproof2 rating (meaning a messy trek through rainy trails shouldn’t prove disastrous for your device. It has front and rear cameras and will run Android 3.2 Honeycomb. It’ll be available January 22nd for $300,=.

Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD

The SkyRocket HD from Samsung features the same beautiful 4.65 Super AMOLED HD display found on the Galaxy Nexus as well as LTE radios and the same 1.5GHz dual-core processor found inside their Galaxy Note. Details on this one are still a bit cloudy at the moment and Samsung only gives us “in the coming months” as far as a release window.

Samsung Exhilarate

This device, the Samsung Exhilarate, is positioned for the mid-range market and features a 4 inch Super AMOLED display. While no details on its internals were given we don’t expect much more than a single core processor inside, likely of the Samsung Hummingbird variety.

 

 

Samsung’s big thing here is that it’s made from 80% recycled post-consumer materials and is about as green as green can get.  Things like an eco-calendar and an eco-calculator (not entirely sure what these are yet) do enough to make us believe that being “green” is t3ruly its niche. Like the SkyRocket, “in the coming months” is all we get for a release window.

Pantech Burst

This device will be one of their more affordable LTE devices coming in at $50 when it launches on January 22nd, the same day as its big brother Pantech Element. It’ll have a 4 inch Super AMOLED display be we don’t expect it to be a heavyweight when it comes to performance. Titanium  or ruby red are the two colors consumers will be able to choose from once it makes its way to the shelves.

Sony Xperia Ion

The Xperia Ion from Sony notably drops the “Ericsson” surname as Sony looks to swallow up the phone side of the partnership between the two. It’ll be an LTE enabled device but we’re not sure when exactly you’ll be able to take advantage of those super fast data speeds as we’re only told that it’ll be available in the second quarter.

They have positioned themselves nicely in not only the 4G wars but in the phone wars period. With a myriad of different devices for all markets they’ll be able to offer something for every type of user. We’re going to be trying to get our hands on some of these at CES so stay tuned for any hands-on coverage that we come forth with. Read on for full press details.
