Android announcements at Mobile World Congress 2013

: Even though Samsung was a holdout waiting to be the center of attention in New York to announce the Galaxy S4 next week there were notable Android product announcements at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week. One clear trend is every manufacturer believes that a high end flagship phone with a 4.3 inch or larger LCD with HD resolution of 1920X1080 and at least a 1.5 Ghz processor is mandatory. These flagship smartphones may have been introduced early to preempt Samsung’s Galaxy S4 announcement. Despite some incredible engineering it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate an Android offering.
