But those looks like last year's specs
Exactly. It seems Samsung have lost the plot. They going the way of Nokia and more recently, HTC. Expect more poor product name choices, resulting in consumer confusion, and a loss of market share to competitors keeping it simple.
That's the one thing I do like about Apple products. They keep it (for the most part) simple. I've only ever owned 1 Apple device, an iPod Nano 5G, but I know the entire range of Apple products, because it's simple and easy to remember. One iPhone, one iPad, and a few different iPods. Each new generation gets a number.
But Samsung and HTC (and previusly Nokia) are all over the place, with a gazillion different models each with slightly different specs, and poor naming schemes. Samsung are in fact worse, launching hardware with outdated specs and branding it a "Tab 2". My SGS2 is better than both the above devices in every respect, except screen size.
C'mon Samsung, catch a wake up. I love my SGS2 and my Galaxy Tab (when I still had it), but trying to keep up with the latest Samsung releases is a real PITA. If someone had to ask me to recommend a mid-range Android phone, Samsung is gonna be the last option.
