Samsung will be unvelling its latest Galaxy S IV flagship in a Week's time . But fresh reports comming from The Korean Times claim that the Korean manufacturer is already gearing up for a 5.9-inch device to be introduced in the "later half of this year"
"Samsung is working on introducing a new phablet using a 5.9-inch organic light-emiting diode (OLED) screen" , an official told The Korean Times on condition of anonymity.
The official also mentioned that new device will be powered by the proprietary Exynos Octa Processor. Citing "an inside source from Samsung " , the report mentions that the company expects to sell larger numer of phablet in the near future , which should help it maintain its leading position in the smartphone sales rankings.
Whether or not this is seperate from the 6.3-inch Galaxy Note III currently in the making , remains to be seen . Earlier reports from The Korea Times indicated that the Samsung Galaxy Note III will sport a 6.3 -inch screen and will perhaps come with the recent announced Exynos 5 Octa Processor.
A December report also mentioned that in 2013 , Samsung will be cutting down its down its invesment in the Liquid Crystal display (LCD) units and concentrating more on organic Light-emitting diode (OLED) and plastic -based flexible displays.
Samsung pioneered the phablet category with the 5.3 inch Galaxy Note introduced in October 2011 and its subseqent sucessor the Note II on Agust 2012.
