samsung_game_pad_720

Among the many official Galaxy S4 accessories from Samsung, there’s one in particular that caught our eye. It’s called the “Game Pad” and it appears to be nothing more than a Samsung-branded MOGA-like controller. Presumably connected via Bluetooth, the device also locks in various smartphones.

Where things get interesting are in the specifications which indicate support for 4-inch up to 6.3-inch smartphones. Seeing as how Samsung has yet to announce anything with that screen size, it stands to reason this is the display size for the upcoming Galaxy Note 3.

We’ve heard plenty on this front regarding the screen size for the presumed smartphone but this seems to be a little more on the official side.

While it’s been known for awhile the Project J is a Samsung thing, the rumors were that it was the codename for the Galaxy S IV. However, once that name was actually revelaed as Altius, the rumor mill went quiet on project J – until now.

While details are still being thrown around, it appears as though “Project J” may not be just one device, but rather a whole family of three different devices. Initial rumors could lead us to say that the entire lineup may include the Galaxy S IV, Galaxy S IV mini, and a mystery 3rd device. The S IV mini is said to be running under codename Serrano, and is missing the wireless charging ability of it’s big brother.

The actual codename for the 3rd device seems to be Fortius, and looks to be a display device, such as a smartwatch, or something similar. The rumors say that, whatever it is, it comes with a pouch, and armband, and a bike mount – again, just speculation right now.

Here’s a complete list of speculated accessories:

Project J Altius:

  • Clear Cover
  • Flip Cover
  • Protective Cover
  • Pouch
  • Extra Battery Kit
  • Battery 2600 mAh
  • Wireless Charging Kit
  • HDTV Adapter
  • Headset

Project J Mini Serrano:

  • Clear Cover
  • Flip Cover
  • Protective Cover

Project J Active Fortius:

  • Arm Band
  • Bike Mount
  • Pouch

If you’ve got one of the more recent Nexus devices, chances are you’ll want to hit up the update menu in your settings. The rollout for 4.2.2 to Nexus 10, Nexus 7, and GSM Galaxy nexus phones has started. While the update doesn’t seem to include the Nexus 4 (strangely), we can only assume that, considering the other devices that are getting the update, the N4 can’t be far behind. Reports don’t indicate any major changes in this update, but it’s sure to have a slew of bugfixes that could come in handy.

Back in December, we heard that Samsung is working on 4G LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy S III, codenamed as the SGH-T999L. After that, things got pretty quiet for the Samsung and T-Mobile collabroration. Today, though, TmoNews released a screenshot telling us that the SGH-T999L is alive and well in T-Mobile’s system.

Screen-Shot-2013-02-04-at-10.18.11-AMwtmkAccording to the photo, T-Mobile will release it on March 27th or April 3rd, though nothing is written in stone. Take it with a grain of salt, though we do figure to learn more soon.

What are your thoughts on a Galaxy S III LTE arriving in the spring when there’s a Galaxy S4 right around the corner? Worth the time and effort or too late?  Tell us about it in the comment box below.

Samsung looks to be gearing up for Mobile World Congress  and may soon deliver a next generation Galaxy Tab 3. We first heard about it just a week ago and now our friends over at PhoneArena got their hands on some leaked screenshots of the tablet.

Rumor has it that Samsung is planning to launch a 10-inch and 7-inch version of the Galaxy Tab at MWC. Judging by the photos, the 7-inch model looks to be retail-ready. We expect Samsung to throw an Unpacked mega event in the end of February and should see this (or these) along with the Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung announced back in August that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will receive the Jelly Bean treatment ‘very soon’, and today is the day when the US version of Note 10.1 is getting lucky.
