Apple iPhone 4S gets stacked with an iPhone 4, Samsung could sue on the antenna design
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4iPhone 4s
A Vietnamese newspaper has gotten a hold on the iPhone 4S, and has snapped a few photos of it stacked up with an iPhone 4 to illustrate the design differences. They are subtle, but changes in the outer chassis do exist, and will most likely lead to new cases needed for the iPhone 4S, since the dimensions of the new iPhone are slightly different than those of the fourth generation.
The biggest change besides the slightly taller chassis of the iPhone 4S (4.54" vs 4.5") are the notches in the steel band surrounding the iPhone 4S. Apple's engineers have redesigned the reception area after the "you're holding it wrong" drama last year, and have moved the notch from near the headphone jack on top ...

Samsung Galaxy Note hitting Australia in early 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
U.S. won’t be the only developed country that won’t get Samsung Galaxy Note this year, with Samsung Australia saying that their smartphone-tablet will be launched “by early 2012.” The information comes from PC World, which quoted the company’s spokesperson saying: “Essentially, we do want to bring it to Australia but it won’t be until next year.”
Of course, if you want it badly this year, you could import it from Europe where Sammy’s device is expected to start selling at some point in November. Actually that’s the launch date for the United Kingdom, but it’s safe to bet other EU countries will get “their Notes” in the same period.

AT&T starts CTIA off right by introducing five new smartphones to its Android lineup
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaPantechAT&TATRIX 2Captivate GlideDoubleTimePocketAvail
At CTIA last March, AT&T stole the show by announcing its intent to purchase T-Mobile US. This time around the news is a bit more modest, but the company is still hoping to give us a bit of a shock by introducing a litany of new handsets right on time for the holiday season. The carrier promised the release of 12 Android devices throughout the course of the year, and this week's announcement pushes the 2011 running count to 19. Not too shabby. Naturally, we're looking for quality more than quantity, so we couldn't wait to dig into the devices that are coming out. Check out all five after the break, along with a quick video teaser.

Samsung Galaxy Note benchmarked, fast and furious
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
When facts talk, you know what walks, so the benchmark tests of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note Incredible Hulk of a phone are the true tests of its pimped up dual-core 1.4GHz Exynos SoC.
The Samsung Galaxy S II and its versions provide the best performance/battery life ratios in the Android world, as it manages to blow past the dual-core competition, and still have decent time between charges.
In this case, the Galaxy Note should fare even better in benchmarks, provided that the CPU has been overclocked with a 0.2GHz step. A set of those synthetic measurements of mobile silicon capabilities proves exactly that - the Samsung Galaxy Note manages to beat not only the HTC Sensation, based on Q...

Samsung compares the iPhone 4S with its Galaxy S II
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleGalaxy S IIiPhone 4s
If our “iPhone 4S vs competition” chart is not good enough for you, maybe you’ll like Samsung’s own chart. They’ve prepared a table that compares their flagship smartphone, Galaxy S II, with the brand new iPhone 4S. Needless to say, the Korean company wants to show us their product is superior in many aspects.
For instance, the Galaxy S II has a bigger screen – the AT&T version has 42% more screen area (length x width), while Sprint’s and T-Mobile’s Galaxy S II will have 58% more screen area than the iPhone 4S.
When it comes to connectivity, the Galaxy S II’s HSPA+ network speeds are at least 50% faster with AT&T 21Mbps and three times faster with T-Mobile’s 42 MBPS than the iPhone 4S’s 14Mb...

Samsung Galaxy S II is the king of Android sales in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroidGalaxy S II
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise when you consider the fact that Samsung has moved more than 10 million Galaxy S II units worldwide, but the Galaxy S II is the top selling Android smartphone in the UK.
The Galaxy S II is the best-selling smartphone ever produced by Samsung. With its 4.3-inch Super AMOLED display, dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor and an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities what’s not to love?
There was one point in September, the third week of the month, where the Galaxy S II was purchased with a contract more than any other Android manufacturer in the entire country. That is domination when you consider the competition that Samsung is con...

Verizon's Samsung Stratosphere specs unveiled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessStratosphere
Remember the Samsung Stratosphere, one of those devices we’ve seen on Verizon’s leaked roadmap? Well we now have additional details to report about it, compliments of DroidLife which managed to get its hands on two charts comparing Samsung’s baby with some other smartphones.
But first, let’s talk about the specs. The Stratosphere is a device that we would most easily describe as Verizon’s version of Sprint’s Epic 4G. It’s pretty much the original Samsung Galaxy S under the hood, adding the ever-useful physical QWERTY keyboard to the mix. In that sense, it comes with a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, single-core 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing ...

Samsung Galaxy S II now available at AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II AT&T
Now available online and in AT&T's stores (in the morning, that is), is the carrier's version of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Unlike the Sprint and T-Mobile versions, both of which are equipped with a 4.52 Super AMOLED display, the AT&T variant has a smaller 4.3 inch screen. Under the hood of this unit is the dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor also found in the Sprint model. When we put this handset through its paces, it scored a mind-numbing 3,733 on the Quadrant Benchmark test. The phone is available for a price of $199.99 after a signed 2-year contract.

Walmart undercuts Amazon, charges $148.88 for the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S II
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II AT&T
In the old days, there used to be competition among brick and mortar stores like Macy's, Gimbels, Sears and E.J. Korvette's. Now, there is extremely fierce battles between discount stores like Walmart and online retailers like Amazon. Of course, back in the days of Korvette's, a smartphone would have been considered magic. A device that fits in the palm of your hand that could make phone calls would have seemed hard enough to believe, but throw in all the media content and data that today's smartphones bring to you, and the speeds at which this information becomes available in the palm of your hand, and it all would seem like science fiction.

Samsung Stratosphere lays it all out with spec sheet treatment
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungStratosphere
The upcoming Samsung Stratosphere for Verizon Wireless is hardly a secret, but other than a few rumored details, the specs for this LTE-equipped QWERTY slider have remained a bit of a mystery. Now, all that has changed, thanks in large part to its leaked spec sheet from Big Red -- just take a peek after the break. It'll be packing a 4-inch Super AMOLED display with WVGA resolution, a (presumably) single-core 1GHz processor, along with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 4GB microSD card that's pre-installed. Curiously, it'll be the first of Verizon's LTE phones to incorporate a Micro SIM in place of the larger, traditional offering. Other than that, it looks as if the speculation of ...

Samsung Galaxy W visits FCC with AT&T bands
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&TGALAXY W
The Samsung Galaxy W has just stopped by the FCC packing bands that are compatible with the AT&T network that suggests it could possibly arrive in the states sometime in the near future.
The Samsung Galaxy W has all of the makings of a mid-range smartphone when you consider the competition. It is an Android 2.3 Gingerbread device that packs a 3.7-inch display. Under the hood of the Galaxy W is a single-core 1.4GHz processor. That speed doesn’t shout mid-range but in a world ruled by other Android-powered handsets that are powered by dual-core processors it gets that title by default. The Galaxy W also has 512MB of RAM.

The massive Samsung Galaxy Note with its 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display has just passed through the FCC with support for AT&T 3G bands suggesting its release is just around the corner.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is somewhat of a hybrid device. It is a cross between a smartphone and a tablet which is similar to what Dell tried to accomplish with the original Streak. Not only does the Galaxy Note pack a whopping 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display (with an equally impressive 1280x800 resolution), it is powered by a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

White Samsung Galaxy S II hitting Canada's Bell on October 7th
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Well if all those British carriers can get the white version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, so can a Canada-based operator. Bell Mobility is Samsung’s “partner in crime” and will start selling the super-sexy smartphone on October 7th. In other words, if you live in Canada, still haven’t “pushed the button” and grabbed some device, maybe it’s wise to wait for one more week. You’ll be able to grab this baby… or perhaps the Apple iPhone 5 (or that’s 4S). If you do choose to “take the Android road,” you’ll have to pour out CA$149.95 for the white Galaxy S II along with committing on a way-too-long three-year contract. Alternatively, you will be able to cash out CA$599.95 and grab the phone sans any...
