In Pictures: 10 best Android announcements at Mobile World Congress 2013

Even though Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy S4 announcement never happened, there were many notable Android-related announcements at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona last week.

Samsung HomeSynch

Samsung’s latest entry into the smart TV arena fills a void in its lineup: GoogleTV. With 1GB of memory and a Terabyte of storage, HomeSynch can stream media from the Google Play store and other streaming services. It supports up to eight user accounts, so a family can have eight different preferences and shared and private storage. Though Samsung would prefer to make its brand ubiquitous in the living room, HomeSynch is a sign that it’s smart enough to diverge from its proprietary smart TV strategy to accommodate a potentially disruptive offering like GoogleTV.
