Samsung streamlines its Galaxy range of devices. Making it easier for you to know what’s what

Samsung Galaxy range of phones — there’s a lot to choose from. By our count there are at least 10 types of Galaxy phones in various guises. In Malaysia the more popular ones are the S II, Ace, Gio and the 5. With so many variants with even more differences in specifications and prices points, it’s easy to get confused as to which Galaxy is which.
In a bid to make things clearer for the consumer, Samsung has announced its new naming convention for the Galaxy range. The Galaxy line of phones will be segregated into five different categories with three variants.
At the top of the order, you have the “S” range of Galaxy phones. S stands for “Super Smart” and is the flagship of the Galaxy devices. Next, you have the Galaxy R range. R stands for “Royal” and is used to represent devices that combines top-notch performance and design in a premium package.
Further down the Galaxy lineage, you have the “W” line which stands for “Wonder” and will be reserved for high quality specialty models. Then there’s the “M” (Magical) range of Galaxy phones that will boast decent performance at affordable price and finally there’s the “Y” (Young) range of Galaxy devices that will be targeted at a younger target with entry-level pricing catered to appeal for emerging markets.
In addition, these five classes will be further differentiated in three sub-classes — “Plus”, “Pro” and “LTE”. Plus” will indicate an upgrade to an existing model, “Pro” will add a QWERTY keyboard and “LTE” will signify the presence of LTE support in the device.
So what do you think? Does the new naming convention make it easier for you to differentiate one Galaxy from the other?

Samsung has just announced that the Samsung Galaxy R (which was previously only available in Sweden as the Galaxy Z) will be making its way to markets in North & Eastern Europe, South East & West Asia, Middle East Asia, and China. In case you’re a little rusty on geography, Malaysia is within the South East Asia neighborhood, so for those of you who’ve always wanted to get your hands on a Galaxy S II but couldn’t afford one, the Galaxy R could be right up your alley.
Key features of the Galaxy R include a 1GHz Tegra 2 processor, 4.2-inch Super Clear LCD display, Android 2.3, 2MP front camera / 5MP camera with 720p HD video capture and 1080p Full HD playback, 8GB on-board storage and support for 32GB Micro SD and a svelte 9.55mm form factor.
No word on pricing and availability date at the moment but we’ll keep you posted when we know.
