Mobile World Congress 2011 is nearing, and Samsung has begun to hype its new Galaxy S phone. We already saw a teaser released last month announcing Samsung would show off the new model at MWC, and now it’s giving us the briefest of brief glimpses at the device itself (check out the video below).

From what we’ve heard, it will feature a Super AMOLED Plus display (improved from the original Galaxy S), 8-megapixel camera, 1080p high-def video recording, and an HDMI port. It may also come with LTE 4G technology and a dual-core processor. We do know that it will run on Gingerbread, so those 0.4 percent operating on Android 2.3 will see a bump. Everything else is unconfirmed as of yet, but it’s fun to dream.

Here’s our very first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus

Galaxy Tab S9+ leaked images

Samsung’s existing slate of Android tablets is one of the finest hardware of its kind, and it appears that the company doesn’t want to stray from the winning formula any time soon. Leaker @OnLeaks has shared renders of the Galaxy S9 Plus, and they bear a striking similarity to its Galaxy Tab S8 series predecessor.

The sleek metallic build with sharp edges is here to stay, and so is the contrasting magnetic strip at the back. The bezel size also remains familiar, while the horizontally positioned selfie camera is once again positioned at the same spot.

Samsung brings the Galaxy S23’s new software to older phones

Samsung this week announced that it will be rolling out its latest One UI 5.1 software to current Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy Z Fold 4, and Galaxy Z Flip 4 lineups. The company debuted the Android 13-powered One UI 5.1 update on the Galaxy S23 Ultra this month, and it's bringing those extra features to general users.

“One UI 5.1 is the up-to-date example of Samsung’s commitment to providing Galaxy users with the latest innovations as soon as possible,” Samsung's Janghyun Yoon said in a blog post. “Over the past several weeks, we have worked closely with our service providers and carrier partners to bring One UI 5.1 to current Galaxy smartphones and tablets around the world within a few short weeks of the Galaxy S23 series announcement.”
