Best-Selling Products, Nexus 7 3G and Nexus 10

Nexus smartphone and tablet sales at the end seems extraordinary. Quoted from PhoneArena and android central, a number of consumers in North America and some European region is having a trouble to order the Nexus 7 3G and Nexus 10 tablet via online. It prompted that this new gadgets booked and sold out in the Google Play Store.

The cheap price maybe the major factor that make the Nexus 7 3G and Nexus 10 to be the best-selling products. Nexus 7 3G with 32 GB internal memory which valued US$299 were sold on Thursday. While the Nexus 10 Wi-Fi 32 GB version tablet has been first run in conjunction with the Nexus 7 3G. And on this day, Nexus 10Wi-Fi 16 GB version tablet which depleted booked.

At that moment, Google Nexus 4 smartphone also depleted booked. In the UK, Nexus 4 only took 30 minutes to get Sold Out. That's amazing. Nexus smartphone and tablet sales may reach its peak at the end of this year and early next year. It had been expected by the end of the year by considering the winter break and Christmas.

Altough it's release time was in conjunction with the release of the iPad Mini and iPad 4 by Apple, at the end of the year, no doubt the consumers will buy android tablet devices as the platforms developed by Google is now much better than in previous years.

With the support of more stable android Jelly Bean version os and better accommodate of the tablet devices is also a plus itself. So naturally when starting the third quartal of this year, the android tablets sales will grow more than iPad sales.

Not even 1 year since Samsung Galaxy S3 released to the market, now comes the latest rumor about the spec of Samsung Galaxy S4. This rumors are about the camera and the processor that will be used on the Galaxy S4. It's likely to use a 13 mega pixels camera and a quad core A15 processor.

I don't know when will Samsung release Galaxy S4, but reportedly Samsung will introduce to the public the successor of the Galaxy S3 at CES annual event to be held in Las Vegas, USA. But many also said that Samsung will release it in February.

Regardless of whether or not the news, of course, consumers are expecting Samsung to make a significant change in the Galaxy S4. One that stands out is the material used by Galaxy S4 can be better than a plastic material that is identical to the Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, S3 or Galaxy.

5-inch smartphone trend is also going to be more crowded if Samsung install the 5-inch screen size on Samsung Galaxy S4. And it's possible Samsung will pinning its 5 inch screen display with full HD 1080 p resolution. With the faster release of Galaxy S4, Samsung is seems to try to block the rate strategy of iPhone 5 with the iPhone 5S that will be released Apple in 2013.

Worth waiting, will the Samsung Galaxy S4 revolutionized into a new trend in the smartphone segment, or it just be a complement to the features that already exist in the Galaxy Note 2 or the Galaxy S3.

Huawei Ascend D2 Android Smartphone

Huawei set up a new strategy before the year 2013 arrives. Huawei will certainly release an android smartphone with quad-core processors and uses 5-inch widescreen called Ascend D2. Although not yet confirmed the date, Huawei has confirmed that they will hold a launch event of Ascend D2 in January, early next year.

The 5-inch screen on D2 Ascend will support up to 1080p screen resolution. While the quad-core processor it's not using the Nvidia Tegra 3 or the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, but it used the K3V2 processor chip designed by Huawei. Some other specifications that have been confirmed for D2 Ascend is a camera with a resolution of 13 mega pixels. While on the battery will be supported by a battery capacity of 3000 mAh. The Android version to be used in this upcoming phone is Jelly Bean android version 4.1 and will get an update to android 4.2.


With the entry of Huawei in the 5-inch smartphone segment of course it will be more brisk competition with the other smartphone manufacturers that already released a 5-inch sized smartphone before, like HTC, ZTE, or Samsung Galaxy Grand which will release early next year.

If last year's market segmentation is still struggling in the 4 inch, 4.3 inch or 4.7 inch smartphone segment, then this year seems likely to be shifted to the size of 4.8 inch and 5 inch. We can see most of the quad-core smartphone are using 4.7 or 4.8 inch screen.
