Samsung Nexus Prime smartphone launch on hold, The Nexus Prime is the Android smartphoe produced by Samsung .
Samsung Nexus prime has abruptly postponed its scheduled launch of a new top-end phone next Tuesday. Earlier, a statement from Google and Samsung said: "We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product.". Rumor has it that the "right time" will now be rescheduled to October 27th.
The apparent motive was not to be seen to intrude on the reactions around the death of Apple's co-founder and former chief executive Steve Jobs, whose death was announced late on Wednesday at his California home. The Samsung company, which said on Oct 7th morning that it expects smartphones to be the main profit engine of its business, had been expected to launch its new
Samsung Nexus Prime phone, running the latest version of Google's Android software – numbered 4.0, and dubbed "Ice Cream Sandwich" – on Tuesday at the CTIA trade show.but in the afternoon samsung said: " Google and Samsung decided to postpone the new product announcement at CTIA Fall. We agree that it is just not the right time to announce a new product. New date and venue will be shortly announced."
Pocket-lint is claiming that its sources have said that October 27th will not be the date for the Nexus Prime/ICS event. There may be a Samsung event that day, but Pocket-lint is certain it won't be the rescheduled UNPACKED event. Of course, no one is releasing sources, so at this point it's unconfirmed rumors on from both Pocket-lint and The Next Web. TNW has not changed its story.
