Samsung has announce a new naming strategy for their Galaxy smartphones. Going forward, the Galaxy range of smartphones will be segregated in five different categories — “S” or Super Smart that will be the flagship Galaxy device, “R” (Royal) which will be a tad lower than the flagship phone, “W” (Wonder) that will be high quality strategic models, “M” (Magical) range will be mid-range devices with decent specs and finally the “Y” Young range that will be targeted young consumers.
Samsung also announced four new devices to complement its new naming nomenclature. Samsung unwrapped Android 2.3 OS-running Galaxy W, Galaxy M Pro, Galaxy Y and Galaxy Y Pro. Galaxy W features a fast 1.4GHz processor, 3.7-inch WVGA TFT LCD, 14.4Mbps HSDPA, 5MP camera, front-facing camera, Wi-Fi and more.
