Samsung won’t even have a press conference at MWC, wants its own show?
Samsung has already toned down our big expectations for MWC - the Koreans said they won’t launch the Samsung Galaxy S III at the European mobile congress, but interestingly they’ve also confirmed that they won’t even have a press conference. This supposedly means that Samsung is not only not bringing the S III - it’s possibly not bringing anything major to the show.

Previously, though, the company has said that it “is looking forward to introducing and demonstrating exciting new mobile products at Mobile World Congress 2012.”

If Samsung goes with its former plans, it’s expected to bring a new tablet, featuring the new quadcore Exynos 5250 chip and possibly a high-res display. We’re also looking forward to the first Tizen devices, incorporating elements of MeeGo and bada. Those handsets are expected to be relatively affordable.

"Samsung’s products are getting more attention. Why should we want news that is lost amid other press releases. It’s too costly," said Choi Gee-sung, chief executive of Samsung.  Additionally, the timing of those big shows often doesn't coincide with the ideal one for the company. On the flipside of things, journalists and others who want to see the best of the industry in a single show, would need to fly to separate events to see a single product.

This marks an intentional strategy by the biggest in the industry to ditch large consumer shows for their own events. Apple has done it, Microsoft has announced they will start doing it and Samsung definitely has the capacity and user interest to go with its own events.

I wonder if they're going to copy Apple by rereleasing the Galaxy S 2 with a faster processor 16 months after it first launched?

The fact that the iPhone 4S sold as strong as it did, while it's only a refresh product 16 months after its original release is a testimonial of how retarded iPhone buyers are. We always joked that you guys would pay top dollar for anything with an i on the front of it. Sure enough you all bought the same old crap and even brag about it. Not to mention about how you idiots brag about how profitable Apple is. YOU'RE BRAGGING ABOUT A COMPANY WHO STOLE YOUR MONEY. Retards. You paid a 71% profit margin to Apple, they overcharged you and you praise them for it!

wow. that was deep.. and old... but since you don't have anymore to add to the table.. let me open your eyes... just because you have an opinion on a product/company doesn't make you right... who the f are to dictate who are idiots.. maybe because it takes one to know one.. I don't know.. as consumer we all get sucked in ( lowest prices of the month, clearance sales, Nike shoes etc..) unless you have never been suckered into buying something over priced I suggest you keep your mouth shut and your hands.. in your pocket...

sorry for calling you a fandroid... the dumb comment threw me off

None of the things you listed have a profit margin as high as Apple's products with the exception of cell phones and that's because the iPhone is a cell phone.

Just because you don't mind getting ripped off doesn't mean everyone is a sucker.

This is some of the best logic I've ever seen, no wonder it comes from the mouth of you gallito! "We overpay for cars and houses, so why rock the boat? Let's overpay for our phones too!". Idiocy at its best.

sorry, but the bulk of the "apple army" is busy doing slave labor in china.

Congratulations to Sony for winning MWC like it did at CES

14. buggerrer posted on 08 Feb 2012, 11:29 2 4

who gives a s**t what Sony will bring? it can't even beat half of Galaxy S or even old Omina sales numbers lol !

btw why Sony fans hate on Samsung?

15. RamyRamz69 posted on 08 Feb 2012, 12:06 4 4

what the hell are you talking about? The Xperia S dominates the Galaxy s2 in everyway....stop being blind.

And I don't really know how am I hating on Samsung....i clearly stated that because the only company which shows competition (samsung) is not going to be there Sony is going to win this...

17. buggerrer posted on 08 Feb 2012, 12:41 4 4

Xperia S dominates SGS II in everyway .. rly?
old cpu + gpu .. can't beat Exynos+ Mali400

Xperia S should be announced and released in late 2011 , it can't stand a chance against the new quad-cores beasts or dual-core A-15 !

i'll waste money on a phone that already is outdated because i love a company ! whoever brings the better specs will win my pocket!
