Upcoming smartphones to watch out for
Samsung to unveil new Galaxy Note in late August
It's seems we're one step closer to Samsung unleashing a new Galaxy Note smartphone or tablet at the end of this month. The South Korean company told that it's debuting the next Galaxy Note product during an event on August 29.
"We plan to unveil the next Galaxy Note at the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin on August 29," a Samsung spokesman reportedly told Reuters today.
This rumored second world version of the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note II is said to include a larger, 5.5-inch display, a dual-core 1.7GHz processor, a 12-megapixel camera, and a newer version of Android.
"We can confirm the unpacked event will take place on August 29th, but we cannot disclose information on what will be unveiled," a Samsung spokesperson told AllThingsD.
It's important to note that the August 29 date is just before predictions for the release of Apple's new iPhone, which is rumored to be coming out as soon as September. Geez, can this rivalry get any more heated?

Asus Google Nexus 7
Expected Launch Date: 20 September, 2012
Asus Google Nexus 7 has a brilliant 7.0 inch LED-backlit IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels and 16M colors combination.
The Google Nexus 7, made by Asus for Google, is a good looking device. It's better looking than the Kindle Fire, and I'd even go so far as to say that it's nicer than the Samsung Galaxy Tab. That's because, for me, the edge-to-edge glass on the front panel, combined with the gently textured deep brown rear and silver rim looks classy without betraying the affordability of its elements.
And it feels good in your hands. Really good. The textured rear is more than mere decoration: it's decidedly grippy. There's no sense that the Nexus 7 is flimsy - it withstands pressure, flexing and the kind of bumps that it will
- The Asus Google Nexus 7 has a 1.2 MP camera.
- It runs on a Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A9 and 1 RAM internal memory is 16.
- It supports connectivity options like WLAN.
- It also supports Voice memo, Organizer features.
- Asus Google Nexus 7 available in Black colour.
