May 20, 2011 at 18:53Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab presentation report
Good evening, Guards!
As many of you know, on May 17, we held a presentation of our flagship smartphone Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab tablets with diagonals of 8.9 and 10.1 inches. Special thanks to all friends from Habr who came to visit us: I was very glad to see interested and lively faces among the mass of sophisticated journalists and bloggers.
Under the cut, I gathered a small report on the past event - a lot of insider photo cards.
The presentation was held within the walls of the deluxe Lotte Hotel on Novinsky Boulevard. The luxurious interior and decor was perfect for a large-scale event, as we saw the launch of our long-awaited flagship Galaxy S II in sales on the Russian market.
From 11 o'clock the flocks of guests began to be pulled to our check-in desk.
By 12 o’clock, more than a hundred variegated representatives of the glossy (and not so) press, the media, and also invited friends from social networks and communities scattered around the presentation area, where samples of new phones and tablets were exhibited. Immediately followed by reviews and tests, discussions and comparisons of devices that reached a peak after the official part of the event.
Some interesting characters familiar to most of you were invited to the presentation. We did not wait for one of them (the test of the new Galaxy Tab for impact resistance did not take place),
but someone nevertheless honored us with his visit. On the left is your humble servant. ;)
At the beginning of the first, all the guests were gathered in the conference hall, where the main part of the event began: the presentation of the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab tablets. The first to enter the scene was Samsung Sung Ho, president of Samsung Electronics CIS Headquarters. He spoke about the hopes and expectations that the company places on flagship devices, about the successes and prospects for the future. It was mentioned the predecessor - Galaxy S, which Samsung sold around the world in the amount of 14 million units, which allowed the company to take a leading position in the mobile phone market. Mr. June also announced a curious fact: every second Android-based phone for sale in Russia is a Samsung smartphone. According to company management, 2011 will be truly a year of smart mobile devices.
After June Sung Ho, Alexey Dorofeev, head of the department of mobile devices at Samsung Electronics Rus, spoke and spoke in more detail about the development of the smartphone and tablet PC market and the significant contribution of Samsung Electronics to this good cause. He noted several of the most important events and achievements that have occurred on the mobile device market and within the company over the past few years:
- In 2010, the smartphone market grew by 60% in the world and by 160% in Russia. Sales of Samsung smartphones over the past year increased 3 times - by 190%.
- In addition to the flagship Galaxy S, last year a whole line of Galaxy smartphones was launched, the most prominent representative of which was the Galaxy Ace.
- Also in 2010, the Galaxy Tab tablet appeared, which became the sales leader in the tablet market among all competitive devices.
The next stage of the official part was a video review of the Galaxy S II smartphone by a well-known television and radio host (Russia 24, Echo of Moscow) and a blogger, Alexander Plushev. Alexander prepared an interesting and capacious story about the characteristics and all the most interesting features, functions and features of our flagship, for which many thanks to him.
This was followed by video messages from partners who collaborate with Samsung in filling mobile phones with content and providing them with convenient services. Among them were: Boris Khvostichenko (product manager, Google Russia), Artem Kirakosyan (Yota Lab business development director) and Gameloft representative.
Boris Khvostichenko spoke about the popular Google services that the Galaxy S II smartphone is equipped with: voice search, navigation and translator, Artem Kirakosyan touched upon the integration of Yota Music and Yota Play services, and an unnamed Gameloft representative spoke about the evolution of modern games for mobile devices, noting the bestseller “ Asphalt 6: Adrenaline. " He also noted the specially optimized game content from Gameloft, which is equipped with the new Samsung smartphone. I had the honor to personally test it: Gameloft provides about a dozen best sellers, including Spiderman, Assassin's Creed, Brothers In Arms 2: Global Front, Dungeon Hunter 2, Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, and others. All games are available in HD resolution and really impress with the quality of the output image.
At the end of the event, the guests were shown two video reviews from the journalist and well-known blogger Anton Nosik and the marketing director of the Afisha publishing house, Evgenia Galetki. They talked about the benefits of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 8.9, respectively.
After the official part, the guests returned to the lobby, where a small reception was held, as well as more active testing and a live review of all the samples presented.

On behalf of Samsung Electronics and myself, I want to thank all the Khabravchans who participated in the presentation: I was very glad to meet some of you personally. In the future we will have many more such events, to which I will again call the most active and interested of you. See you soon!
