Windows Phone 8: Samsung to release a Galaxy S3 like device? (Nokia Lost?)

By KURUPTION!!! - 07-31-2012, 06:13 PM - Boxden > BX Tech

It looks like Nokia is in big trouble, a leaked document confirmed that mobile phone Samsung is building two Windows Phone 8 smartphones apart from making high-end Android handsets. The leaked docs claim that one of the unannounced Samsung WP8 device will include an HD display and possibly with dual-core or quad-core chipset — similar to the high-end Android-based Samsung Galaxy S3.

As reported by The Verge, Samsung has revealed two handsets during its court case with Apple related to patent infringements filed by both sides. Documents submitted by Samsung, as part of the trial, has confirmed the existence of two unannounced Windows Phone 8 handsets based on the logo inserted to the exhibits.

The high-end unannounced Windows Phone 8 is named “Odyssey,” and it will reportedly include a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display, an 8-megapixel back-facing camera, a front-facing 2-megapixel camera and LTE, HSPA+ support. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S3 features a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED Pentile display, 8MP back and 1.9MP front cameras, and quad-core Exynos chips. Apparently, the upcoming Windows Phone 8 platform now supports multi-core processors so it is plausible that Samsung will use its chips or a quad-core or dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

Meanwhile, the mid-range Windows Phone 8, internally named as Marco, will reportedly pack a 4-inch WVGA (480 x 800 resolution) Super AMOLED touchscreen display, a back-facing 5-megapixel camera and a front-facing 2-megapixel camera. The unannounced mid-range handset will also support LTE and HSPA+.

Windows Phone 8, according to Microsoft, will arrive by the end of November. In short, it will compete with Apple’s iPhone 5 and a slew of new Android and Nexus devices.

Nokia au revoir

If this happens I think the Samsung WP8 galaxy will do pretty well, but android is alot more open than windows so I think won't be as effective like the android version.

Nah man u kidding me Nokia > Samsung look at what Nokia is doing right now

On the Lumia line released a bunch of new apps to make the platform better
On the WP8 line they will have Pureview technology, dolby digital audio recording, advance camera and advanced transportation services.

Nokia dumb for not choosing Android to begin with.. Now that Sammy is doing Galaxy WP8 it's over for Nokia.

I think WP will be more popular once Sammy releases the phone

Windows 8 isn't going to catch on...Microsoft is always too late to the party

08-01-2012, 08:07 PM

I'll be copping this off contract

Galaxy SIII running Android & a Galaxy SIII running WP8

Its all personal opinion there's no facts unless you want to compare customer satisfaction ratings then Lumia destroys all 3

Lumia woulda died they cant compete with HTC and Samsung with that release schedule. Plus they wont be getting $$$ from Google.

Windows portfolio >
1.4 billion Windows PC's
44 million + Xbox 360
Enterprise dominant

What does Google have to offer? Android because it has 50 something percent marketshare. Android marketshare doesn't have !! on Windows PC market which is what Nokia is banking on for people to move over to WP.

If you have a Win Pc, 360 why would you want an Android?

Wasn't late with Xbox.
Windows has always been there just not on mobile.

With Windows popularity it should be easy to catch up to apps. RT --> WP8

People keep thinkin that WP is gonna be a flash in the pan, but with the trifecta of Windows 8, xbox360 (smartglass and new dashboard) and WP8 (not to mention surface tablets) M$ is gonna be getting it in!

Dude please!! HTC and LG is with Android but they ain't doin too good!! Just because if Nokia would've went the android route doesn't mean it would've been a instant success like yall android wimps keep promising and speculating. [pic]

The only non-Android platform that intrigues me ever so slightly. In the end I may still slide with Android but, WP8 seems ever so tempting. M$ is a rich man's RIM with the mobile goods being they at least are giving -some- real temptation outside of iOS & Android. If manufactures launch out between the majors M$ could -maybe- flirt with 10% by the 1st qtr of '13 perhaps¿

I can see possibilities for Nokia doing nicely with WP8, but WP7 not being upgradable (lol @ version 7.99999995) is Lemon Hilarity pie in the face that smacks into Nokia's face the hardest with them having the most invested on that platform out of any other manufacture that just merely have it as an alternative e.g. Samsung & HTC. Hell, even when WP8 drops Nokia -may- not have the nicest WP8 phone to where WP8 is a success but folks get up on that Galaxy Metro or whatever instead

Google has the whole internet and cloud computing. Add the fact that Microsoft just !!ed over the OEM with Surface and massively flopped on their mobile department. Add the fact that majority of windows user don't know how to use their own computer.

thats funny because HTC and LG android phone outsold their Windows Phone counter part by alot.

Windows Phone cant even outsell blackberries.

!! they had record sales until last year when they single handily ruined their image with giving their phone !!ty battery life.

Judging Nokia track record of build, battery life and design, i pretty much think Nokia would be far more successful than HTC. WHen you think of HTC you see !!ty battery life. Even the one x and evo 4g lte fixed that problem they still ruined their rep to point its beyond saving.

Ppl acting like the Samsung Focus isn't the Galaxy 2.

Cloud computing Microsoft has Skydrive it was out way before Google Drive and its a more mature platform.

Surface didn't !! over any OEM's it actually strengthen the Microsoft brand. Now OEM's have a clear cut design to go after no need to copy Apple products Microsoft products set the tone and OEM's ride that momentum. Win on both sides.

Mobile department didn't flop. Want to check sales Lumia is actually holding its on. Satisfaction ratings are high developer support is good.

You want to talk about Marketshare HUH? Alright lets talk about it why is Windows Phone less than 5% because you literally have no Windows Phones on Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular and Metro PCS. You have 3 Windows Phones on ATT and 1 on Tmobile. There you go have fun trying to get more than 5% marketshare.

WP8 will fix that first WP needs more hardware. WP8 allows the use of multicore processors etc = more hardware.

WP8 needs more carrier support. WP8 allows more carrier customization = more carrier support.

Both problems fixed with WP8 so marketshare should be a lot better next year.

LOL really HTC has what 2 Windows Phones? Do you see any HTC Titan ads on TV? NO but you see HTC One X ads.

How many carriers is the HTC One X line available on probably all of them how many for Titan... only on ATT how many for radar.... only on T-Mobile.

Does LG have a second gen WP NO.

So here you go you cant point out stupid little facts like HTC and LG Android phones outsold Windows that's because marketing, retail everything is not on the same playing field.
