Samsung Electronics Co. said Monday that it would hold an event called “Samsung Premiere 2013 Galaxy & ATIV” next month in London, prompting speculation that the tech heavyweight may introduce new products for its Galaxy and ATIV lines.
The South Korea-based firm did not reveal the specifics in the invitation but tech journalists are suspecting that the name of the event indicates new gadgets for the Android-based Galaxy line and Windows-based ATIV line will be headlining the event.
As Samsung announced the event, it also released three images of what appears to be parts of a tablet PC, laptop, and a camera.
Some are suggesting Samsung will release variants of its flagship Galaxy S smartphone series including a smaller “Galaxy S4 mini.” Citing unconfirmed report, CNN said that the “S4 mini” may have a 4.3-inch screen. The full-size S4 has a 5-inch screen.
Other reports also suggested that Samsung will release an ATIV phone and try to break into the Nokia-dominated market of Windows-based smartphones.
Also rumored to be released at the event is the follow-up to the Galaxy Camera, which is dubbed “Galaxy S4 Zoom” by Samsung enthusiasts.
The event will be held on June 20 at the Earls Court Exhibition Center in London.
