For Samsung, the IFA trade show seems to have become the place where the company launches new concepts. At last year's show it premiered the first Note, and this year it has launched the Galaxy Camera.

The camera is the first in the world to combine Android 4.1 with 3G and a quad-core processor, according to Samsung. It also has a 4.8-inch HD display and an f2.8/23 millimeter lens with a 21x optical zoom. It is voice-controlled and users can store images on Dropbox; 50GB is included.

Samsung is hoping the camera will help create a new product category, as it managed with the Note.

When Samsung launched the original Note, few people thought the product would be a success, thanks to its 5.3-inch screen size which put it between smartphones and tablets. But with sales of over 10 million, Samsung has proven that its instincts were right and now wants to build on that momentum with the Galaxy Note II, which is based on Android 4.1. Samsung will try to convince consumers to upgrade to the new model or buy one for first time when it starts shipping in October.

The Galaxy Note II is powered by a quad-core 1.6GHz processor. It has a 5.5-inch widescreen display with a resolution of 1280-by-720 pixels, which is housed in a shell that is 9.4 millimeters thick and weighs 180 grams.
