Samsung announces its 2012 portfolio of appliances – Part 1

After the Consumer Electronics Show 2012 at Las Vegas, which unveiled new products for 2012, Samsung invited the European press this week to showcase its strategy and the products that will waterlog the market this year.

Galaxy Tab 2.0, Samsung’s signature tablet is your badge for this year; which comes with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and can be tested in more detail during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in late February. The tablet—both in WiFi and 3G versions—will have a seven-inch screen, which is the smallest tablet from Samsung. It keeps the dual-core processor, the camera and screen resolution intact from the previous models. Tab 2.0 will be marketed first in the UK in March.

The company disclosed its new ventures as well like the Music Hub and Reader Hub. Music Hub will be preloaded in the tablet first with its 13 million songs and Reader Hub with 2.3 million books. Among other launches were Game Hub that is still in planning phase, and the Video Hub that will offer over 1,000 movies on the initial start this year.

In the same trend Samsung released a new application for televisions called Youzee, a service like Netflix, which will let the users view TV shows and movies unlimited for 10 Euros a month. This service will also be available to the phones and tablets. This is a step from the Korean company to stay ahead of its competitors who offer the television services.

Samsung is planning to unleash its high-end television models ES 8000 and ES 7000 in Europe, come spring. These TVs will boast 75-inch screens, dual core processors and connection to the Web.

The big news however, was the chamber that makes the upper edge of the TV, This chamber will serve as a Kinect-like sensor that will enable the viewer to change channels and turn up and down the volume without remote control but with hand gestures and voice recognition. However, the sets will have remote controls as well. There are cameras nestled in the front for video conferencing.
