Samsung debuts new Galaxy lineup for Wonderfully Smart, Magical, Royal Youths

Samsung is set to launch four new Galaxy smartphones at IFA in Germany next week, but the company gave everyone an early sneak peek at what it has in store for the event.

The phones will be named the Galaxy W, Galaxy M Pro, Galaxy Y and Galaxy Y Pro. This is a whole new naming strategy for Samsung, and they have been kind enough to provide a little explainer as to what the names mean:

• "S" (Super Smart) – Devices at the very pinnacle of Samsung's mobile portfolio. This class will only be used on flagship devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S, the award-winning smartphone that has already sold 10 million units throughout the world.
• "R" (Royal / Refined) – Premium category models, a combination of power, performance and productivity for the individual who wants to be defined by the technology they carry.
• "W" (Wonder) – High quality, strategic models, perfect for those seeking a balance between style and performance.
• "M" (Magical) –High-performance models at an economic price-point.
• "Y" (Young) – These are entry models or strategic models for emerging markets or a younger audience more sensitive to price.
• Class indicators allow a more specific description of the key selling points of a device.

• "Pro" – This indicates that the device includes a QWERTY keyboard for speedier email typing and increased productivity for professionals.
• "Plus" – This indicates that the device is an upgrade from an existing model.
• "LTE" – This indicates that the device is designed to utilize LTE (Long-Term Evolution) connectivity standards, a 4G standard to provide increased mobile network capacity and speed.

That having been said, let's move on to the really important issue - specs.
