One of the devices will come from Samsung, and the other will be made by HTC. These new devices will also be able to act as wireless hubs for up to 8 WiFi devices. Samsung's phone is said to be based around the Android OS and “heavy video communications”. HTC's phone is simply described as a 3G/4G/WiFi-enabled gadget.
