NTT DoCoMo launching 19 new devices this summer, brings Galaxy S III to Japan

[![NTT DoCoMo launching 19 new devices this summer, brings Galaxy S III to Japan][1] ][2]

If you aren't already accustomed to Japan's [regular deluge][3] of [device announcements][4], brace yourself: [NTT DoCoMo][5] just stepped forward with 17 new phones, as well as a mobile WiFi hotspot and a tablet. Throw a stone at the pile of hardware, and you're likely to strike something running Ice Cream Sandwich -- with the exception of the WiFi hotspot and a single handset [designed for kids][6], every device on the list is running [Android 4.0][7]. Among the hodgepodge of handsets, DoCoMo is offering ten dual-core devices with screens ranging from 3.7 to 5-inches, a 10.1-inch 1.2Ghz dual-core slate, camera sensors of all sizes (from 8 megapixels to 13, that is) and a curious "Raku-Raku smartphone" that promises the "sensation of pressing actual keys" to smartphone newbies. The lineup's superstars, however, can all be found in DoCoMo's "NEXT" series of smartphones, bolstering the carrier's [Xi LTE service][8] with heavy hitters like the [Galaxy S III][9], the [Optimus Vu][10], Sony's [Xperia GX][11] and the Tegra 3 touting [Arrows X][12].
