Apple files German lawsuit against Samsung, targets Galaxy S II, nine other smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleGalaxy S II
With patent infringement accusations going every which way in recent months, we're certainly familiar with Apple/Samsung banter in the international arena. Now Apple has thrown yet another punch at the Korean smartphone maker, targeting its Galaxy S II, Galaxy S Plus and eight other handsets, claiming -- yes, you've got it -- patent infringement. The suit was filed in Dusseldorf Regional Court -- the same venue that the company used to target the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, which was created specifically to sidestep a September injunction, also in Germany. It's becoming rather difficult to keep track of all the IP hubbub across the pond, but we'll surely be back with more as soon as the German court h...

Samsung Galaxy Note is coming to Verizon as the Galaxy Journal?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Note
Arguably, one can say that Verizon managed to do right by forgetting about the Samsung Galaxy S II, seeing that they eventually brought along the Samsung Galaxy Nexus before anyone else. Even though the exclusivity is short lived because Sprint is bound to start selling its own version soon, it simply goes to show how Verizon is willing to go above and beyond its rivals to get the best devices onto its lineup.
Well folks, it seems that we’ll be seeing that same mentality because the rumors point to the possibility of Big Red getting its own version of the ridiculously large smartphone in the Samsung GALAXY Note – yeah, the same one coming to AT&T officially. According to the rumors spewing ...

Owners report that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is plagued by random reboots
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY NexusGALAXY Nexus CDMA
We’re not arguing about it, but it must surely be wonderful being the Samsung Galaxy Nexus – considering that it’s the sole device on the market available right now packing Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Being the coveted smartphone it is, we’re all going to instinctively watch everything that goes on with it like a hawk, but as we know, it’s usually the problems that tend to stick out more than others. Already, we’ve reported about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and its maddening volume control issue back in November, but this time around, it seems yet another issue is plaguing the venerable device. Although it apparently seems to be more widespread with the GSM flavored Galaxy Nexus, even Veriz...

Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab get security nod, certified for government agencies
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsungGalaxy S IIGALAXY Tab 10.1GALAXY Tab 10.1 LTE
We didn't have much to complain about when it came to Samsung's flagship phone and tablet, so we're glad to see that both the Galaxy S II and Tab 10.1 have managed to jump through the requisite hoops for FIPS certification. The business-centric feature means that both Samsung devices have been given the thumbs up for use in governmental agencies and other similarly stickler-for-the-rule industries. While the Tab 10.1 certainly isn't the first tablet to receive the certification, it's perhaps the most pervasive.

Something “wonderful” coming from Samsung to Europe, and it will not be the Samsung Focus S
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungFocus S
Professeur Thibault has tapped his sources in France and confirmed that the Samsung Focus S will never come to Europe.
Apparently this is due to carriers feeling the handsets bears too close a resemblance to the incredibly popular Samsung Galaxy S 2, and they did not need the same handset running Windows Phone 7 (heaven forbid they give us a choice of operating system).
All hope is however not lost. The same source said Samsung had other Windows Phones at it’s roadmap, with original design, and that these “should be wonderful".

Earlier this month, we told you that U.K. retailer Clove was taking pre-orders for the Samsung GALAXY Nexus in white. Now, thanks to the dudes and dudettes at AndroidHD Blog, we have pictures of the pale version of the device to show you. In case you were wondering (and we know you were), only the back and sides of the phone are white and the front is still black as on the original release.
While originally, the white Samsung GALAXY Nexus was to appear in the U.K. the week of February 6th, the latest info says that the handset will be available the week of March 6th. Pricing will be the same as the original "titanium silver" unit. As we pointed out before, this model is the GSM version of th...

Unknown Samsung device gets Wi-Fi certification, could be Galaxy Note successor
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsung
A couple of mysterious Samsung devices were just spotted in the Wi-Fi Alliance's database after receiving Wi-Fi certification – the Samsung GT-N8000 and GT-N8013. What we are dealing with here is not quite clear, but let us put on our deerstalker, take out our magnifying glass, and make a prediction backed up by some old-fashioned logic. So, the device with a model number closest to the ones listed is the Samsung Galaxy Note, also known as the GT-N7000. That said, it could be that the two new devices have quite a lot to do with it. On one hand, these two new model numbers may belong to a Galaxy Note successor. But on the other hand, a Galaxy Note successor might carry a GT-N7100 model name, ...

Samsung Mandel, 4G LTE Windows Phone, fails to show up at CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Nokia’s Lumia 900 may have received a ton of attention at CES this year, but it was just one of two Windows Phones that AT&T announced, the other being the 16 megapixel packing HTC Titan II. Impressive as both those devices may be, we were expecting to see a third Windows Phone with 4G LTE show up at CES from Samsung. According to a user agent profile discovered by Pocketnow, there’s a device called that Samsung SGH-i667 that exists somewhere in the wild. Said device is codenamed Mandel, and it’s rumored to be the successor to the Samsung Focus S, which was released just two months ago. Specification wise it’s going to be just like every other Windows Phone running Mango, and it’s supposedly...

T-Mobile announces the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, available 'later this year'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-Mobile
Hot on the heels of the Galaxy S II's success, T-Mobile's getting another Samsung 4G device brewed up. The new smartphone, called the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, isn't set to be available until later this year, which unfortunately means we're getting very little details at the moment. According to the press release, the Blaze will have a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, 42Mbps HSPA+ and a "brilliant Super AMOLED touch screen." Again, this is all we have been given at the moment, and we're confused by the fact that the display doesn't have an HD in front nor a Plus in back, as well as the phone's use of "Galaxy S" in the title. As always, it's our hope that this CES announcement will be shortly followed ...

Sprint has revealed more details about the Google Galaxy Nexus smartphone on a landing page highlighting its forth-coming 4G LTE network. According to the page, the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus will have 16GB of internal storage like the HSPA+ model (the LTE version for Verizon Wireless has 32GB), and it will support Google Wallet, unlike other versions of the Galaxy Nexus. Verizon caused quite a commotion when it said that the version of the Galaxy Nexus that it carries would not support Google Wallet, but it doesn't look like Sprint users will have to worry about that.

Samsung to concentrate on profit rather than handset volume
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsung
At the CES in Las Vegas, Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung told Reuters that increasing profitability is the Korean manufacturer's new number one target. Just the day before, the executive said that Samsung plans on becoming the world's number one handset maker this year to break Nokia's 14 year reign on top. Gee-sung said that Samsung has topped Nokia in terms of revenue, will probably top the Finnish based firm in terms of volume shipped this year, but trails other companies when it comes to profits. "Our target should move on to this," Choi said. In the third quarter of last year, Samsung became the top smartphone manufacturer and is building on the success of its well-received Samsung Galaxy S I...
