All mobile manufacturers show what they've got to prove how can  they change from good to better and from better to best. One of which is the awaited Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, which is said to be rival of Apple's iPad Mini because of it's 8-in display same as of the iPad Mini. During the MWC, a hands on for the said device is intended to impress the people with its glossy white exterior and the specs that most people would like to grab. No signs of stuttering or lagging showed during the hands on which will result to a better experience for the user. 

Samsung is not the only manufacturer that showed what's new. Asus showed the improvement of the phones and tablets they are releasing and an attest to that is the Asus Padfone Infinity which has a flatter look compared to previous Asus phones. It has a 5-in display and comes with a 1.7 GHz quad-core processor from Qualcomm.

And I guess, LG is the new rival of Samsung because of their new released phone LG Optimus G Pro which will target most of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 fans, because of its specs that is totally comparable to the Note 2. This LG phone goes with an IPS screen compared to Galaxy Note's AMOLED version.

According to him, it is the first smartphone that is introduced that supports LTE category 4. This LTE allows you to download with a speed of up to 150 Mbps. As how it was introduces, he said it has also offers faster connection on Wi-Fi networks. He also iterated how elegant the display and shape of the said phone.   

Because of these manufacturers, we can see real improvements and developments for each phone from time to time as they battle to create the best of the bests.

2013 is coming and we can't stop it. What should we expect this coming 2013? If we are referring to the trends of smartphones, there would be great improvements for all manufacturers. We have seen a lot of improvements in the year 2012. People are already used on having wide screens so we should expect the continuous production of wide smartphones. We already seen the processor improving to 1.5 GHz and being expected to reach up to 2 GHz before 2013 ends. So a better feature means a better phone and we should expect that in the succeeding years.

Blackberry will release their new Blackberry 10 phones exactly on January 10, 2012 on different countries all over the world. 

It is also believed that Samsung will release Galaxy S4 on April 2013.
