List of Samsung Galaxy Phones in 2013 - New Phones getting launched this year

2013 - List of Samsung Galaxy series Android phones

After giving Android its current weight against the competition by having record breaking sales, what Korean giant 'Samsung' has got in their sack for the year 2013? Let's have the look at some of the new phones Samsung might/will launch this year. Samsung has announced some of the phones like Galaxy Grand, Young & Fame. As per the rumors, Samsung might launch S4 in 2nd quarter of 2013. It would be interesting to see Samsung's first Key Lime Pie Phone.


We have listed some of the major as well as minor Samsung Galaxy devices which are getting ready to be launched in 2013. Samsung is likely to continue it's strategy to fill every price range with all the possible devices and give more and more options to their buyers in the latest smartphone tech.

Samsung Galaxy S4  Might release in March 2013

One of the most anticipated device for year 2013. As per the rumors, Galaxy S4 should be launched in March-April in the year 2013. The successor of Galaxy S3 is likely to have powerful Snapdragon 2 GHz quad core processor, 2 GB RAM and a large 4.8 inch display.
S4 will probably launch with the Android 4.2.2 JellyBean and buyers can rest assured that it will be getting the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie update in future.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung Galaxy's phablet - Note 2 sold millions of devices and we can expect the same if not better for Note 3 which rumored to have 6.3 inch huge display screen. The Galaxy Note 3 will probably get released at the end of Q3 allowing the S4 some time to capture the market.

Samsung Galaxy Phones for the Mid-level Price Range

Samsung Galaxy Grand

Samsung has already released Galaxy Grand in all the major countries. Grand is an ideal choice for people who wish to enjoy the whim of having a device with a bigger screen in affordable pricing. The smartphone  has key features like Android Jellybean 4.1.2, 1.2 GHz dual core processor and whooping 5 inch screen though it falls a little short on the screen resolution.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus

Samsung's first bestseller in the Android line was Galaxy S2 and they want repeat the magic once again with S2 Plus - an improved and advanced  version of legendary S2. S2 plus missed that plus factor sadly and everything was same except the design.

Samsung Galaxy Young & Galaxy Fame

After premium segment, Samsung has even plans for mid range segment. Galaxy Young and Galaxy Fame have been designed with lower hardware but come at a really interesting price range. It's amazing to see that both phones are running on Android jellybean with such lower hardware and offer most of the coveted features of every smartphone at such an affordable pricing.

Galaxy Xcover 2

The key features included into the Xcover 2 will be Android JellyBean 4.1.2 and its 5 megapixel camera. it's a waterproof and dust proof Android Smartphone.Galaxy Xcover 2 GT-S7710 comes with 4 inch LCD capacitive display screen and powered by 1 GHz processor.

List of Android Mobile Phones most likely getting the Key Lime Pie Update

List of Android mobile phones most likely to get Key Lime Pie Update [rumored]

It has been just few months that Google rolled out jellybean - Android 4.2 Most of the Android phones are yet to get the official Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update & Google is preparing to unveil Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie in 2013. Key Lime Pie which also know an as KLP will be the newest & latest android OS and should offer some great functionality if it has to build a lead over the iOS market.
It would be very interesting to see how mobile manufacturers are going to please the buyers with KLP update as most of the smartphones with ICS are yet to get a JellyBean update. We have created a list of phones which we think are likely to get the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie update as they are the flagship devices of each handset maker.

Samsung devices getting Key Lime Pie Update

Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has made a big impression in the market will definitely be among the first few phones to get the Android Key Lime Pie update. It is one of the best phones offered by Samsung and they will want to keep ahead of the competition by offering support to a device that has such a huge following.

Samsung Galaxy S4 & Galaxy S3
Another flagship Samsung device which has made waves is the Samsung Galaxy S4. It has been the hottest selling phone offered by Samsung and is very likely to get android 5.0 Key Lime Pie update because disappointing such a huge fan base would not really be a smart move for the handset maker.

HTC devices getting Key Lime Pie Update

HTC One M7, One  X, One X+ & HTC One XL
HTC's new flagship phone - HTC One M7 & One X will surely get the KLP update. One X, its sibling One XL and its upgrade the One X+ are mobile phones with great hardware and topped the list of various benchmark tests conducted on Android devices. HTC might not release a ton of phones each year but when they do release them, they tend to be spot on with what the market expects.

HTC One S
One S is a great phone but in some of the countries like India, the One S has been launched with a different set of hardware and that's why we aren't sure if the One S will get an KLP update or not.

HTC Droid DNA
The newest phone launched by HTC has an amazing set of hardware and a brilliant screen to go along with it. The Droid DNA will definitely sell well thanks to its gorgeous 400ppi 5 inch screen and as with all manufacturers, its their priority to always support their best phones, making the Doid DNA a sure shot for the Key Lime Pie update.

Sony devices getting Key Lime Pie Update

Sony has recently announced that it's older 2011 Xperia phones will not be getting the Jelly Bean update which include Sony Xperia Arc Sand the Xperia Mini Pro.

Sony Xperia S & Sony Xperia P
Sony has confirmed the Jellybean update for the both phones and while they will be old by then, they're still popular phones and most probably they will be getting the Key Lime Pie update too.

Sony Xperia ION
Xperia ION is another great Android device with a good spec sheet and has been decent in its popularity and should get the Android 5.0 KLP in it.

LG devices getting Key Lime Pie Update

LG Nexus 4
LG & Google's NEXUS which has been recently released comes in two variants, one with stock Android in it bought from Google Play and one with the LG's flavor of Android in it. While the Nexus 4 will get a stock Android update, LG will definitely want to support their newest flagship device and provide it with the Key Lime Pie update whenever it is released.

LG Optimus G
Another popular device from LG, this was the best selling device before the Nexus 4 was launched thus making it a default receiver of the Key Lime Pie update.


While this list is based on speculation, do you think there is any good contender phone that we missed out which will get the KLP update? If so, let us know in the comments section.
