New mobile devices expected in 2013

This year Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Amazon HTC and almost all the smartphone and tablet manufacturers launched their new, exciting devices this year. We are expecting lot more new, faster, and better devices to rock the mobile devices market in coming months.

The demand of mobile devices (both smartphones and tablets) is increasing like a wild fire. The global smartphone shipments are expected to grow by 30 per cent up to 865 million units in 2013 indicated a Digitimes Research this week.


We bring you what major launches can be expected in months to come.

Microsoft 7 inch surface tablet

Early this month, The Verge reported that Microsoft is working on a 7 inch surface tablet. For those who are already in love with the latest Surface tablet from Microsoft and are also fond of gaming, this tablet is a must-wait device. This is expected to be basically a gaming device potentially named Xbox Surface.

Giving strength to these rumors, CEO of Microsoft Steve Ballmer recently said that the company will launch new hardware in 2013. According to another report in the Northern Voices Online, Microsoft was evidently working to launch a 7-inch tablet. This device is expected to be powered by a faster ARM processor.

Samsung Galaxy S4

The South Korean giant Samsung is rumored to go to the next level in the S series, which will probably be called the S4. The device which is rumored to be launched in coming months will be a handset of about 4.99 inches with 1080p HD display. This device is expected to sport a 13 megapixel camera according to  Aaron Almeida of  Tech2. “For Samsung to use this camera on its upcoming smartphone, the handset would require more processing power as well as extra RAM.
Blackberry touchscreen phone
BlackBerry has already announced the launch of latest BB10 operating system and multiple devices in an event on January 30 2012. BlackBerry today posted on its facebook page fans “10 weeks until the unveiling of BlackBerry 10!”
According to a Press release issued by the company, the Canadian smartphone company has said that the day will mark the official launch of its new platform – BlackBerry 10 operating system and unveiling of the first two BB10 smartphones. The BB10 platform has recently achieved FIPS 140-2 certification, which marks that the first time BlackBerry products have been certified ahead of their launch.
Acer Windows RT Tablet
On October 30 this year Techcrunch reported “Originally, Acer was going to launch Windows RT tablets in the first quarter of 2013, but the company is wisely going to sit on the sidelines a bit and watch the market’s reaction to other WinRT tabs — most notably the Microsoft Surface.”
One of the first company which criticized Microsoft for moving into the computer hardware business and competing with its partners’ devices was Acer. According to a Reuters report the President of Acer Jim Wong has said last month “research and development for the Windows RT tablets was still moving forward but that the company had many questions to address with regards to manufacturing and pricing”.
iPhone 5S
To follow the rumors, the Cupertino based iOS and Mac company Apple Inc is working on the new iPhone or “iPhone 5S”. The production is expected to start as early as Q1 2013, according to new rumors mentioned in CIOL.
Webpronews mentions Ed Valdez at Technorati who made the case that the device will launch by June 2013, citing six reasons. He says “Apple needs the WOW factor: In order to re-capture the imagination of Apple fans, it’s time for Apple to ‘think different’ from its past product release trends.”
The iPhojne6newsblog mentions “With the iPad 4, it now has the A6X chip, improved graphics, improved wireless, and the lightning port. Why then would it be impossible to imagine that the next iPhone — maybe not the 6, but a refreshed iPhone 5S — couldn’t be released at the WWDC in June of 2013?”
Firefox OS smartphones 
“The first Firefox OS-powered smartphones are expected to arrive in 2013 and telecoms equipment makers Alcatel-Lucent and ZTE are the first manufacturers signed up to make the new phones” reported SiliconRepublic this week.
Slashdot also reported that the first Firefox OS tablets and smartphones are expected to hit the market early next year.
“Consumers who use devices powered by Firefox OS won’t be locked into one specific platform giving them more choice, flexibility and freedom. With Firefox OS, the Web is the platform” says Mozilla about this new operating system.
Jelly Bean operating system based devices
In Indian market we also expect some new launches of tablet and smartphone devices running the latest 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. We can expect new products from Micromax, Lava, Zen, Karbonn running this operating system. Most of these companies have this year launched devices running the Ice cream sandwich operating system. Till date only Karbonn has launched a tablet which can be upgraded to the Jelly Bean operating system from Google.
