Samsung Focus Flash announced by AT&T, runs Mango and flies on 4G airwaves
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftAT&TWindows Phone 7.5Focus Flash
The Samsung Focus Flash was among the trio of Windows Phone handsets that AT&T officially announced today, the other two being the Samsung Focus S and the HTC TITAN. It may be touted as the most affordable one out of the three, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will not have much to offer for its money.
Under its hood will tick a 1.4GHz processor, and a 5-megapixel camera will be gracing its back. Its front will be occupied by a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display, and a front-facing camera will be also in stock.
On the software side, the Samsung Focus Flash will run Windows Phone Mango, just like its bigger siblings. Furthermore, all Windows Phone handsets in AT&T's lineup are expected to...

Samsung Galaxy S II now shipping for $100 in America... on Alaska's GCI
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Leave it the regional folks to steal the thunder of the Big Four. While we were all led to think that Sprint's Epic 4G Touch would be the first subsidized Galaxy S II to officially land in the US of A, it looks as if Alaska's GCI has beat 'em all to the punch -- and in more areas than one. A tipster residing in The Last Frontier just picked one up today, and best of all, it's running a solid Benjamin less than it will on those other operators. Oh, and it's compatible with the company's "4G" (read: HSPA+) network. Unadulterated wilderness? Yep. Northern Lights? Definitely. Early / cheap access to the year's hottest Android smartphone? Evidently. So, who's up for a little northern exposure?

Samsung SCH-W689 rocks two SIM card slots, bada OS and clamshell form-factor
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Well what do we have here – a bada-powered smartphone that doesn’t come in an all-touchscreen form factor! Rather the Samsung SCH-W689 is a clamshell with two touchscreens, one measuring 3.2 inches and the other one – 3 inches; both of which support WQVGA resolution.
But that’s not all – this little fella’ also rocks two SIM card slots and can work across both GSM and CDMA-based networks. Kinda neat when you think about it, too bad it’s a China only device at the moment.

Samsung accidentally confirms the upcoming Nexus Prime
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung has accidentally confirmed the existence of the next Nexus device by uploading something called a “user agent profile”. Mobile phone makers create said files so developers and websites know the capabilities of the device a user is using to access their content. While it doesn’t provide a complete spec sheet, it does give some hints as to what we can come to expect. For one thing, the name “Nexus Prime” has finally been confirmed. We’d honestly be shocked if Google or Samsung decided to change this. Next up, we know the technical name of the device, the “GT-I9250″. This will come in handy when combing through FCC documents and other certification pages, looking for hints as to the typ...

Many of you T-Mobile fans are anxiously awaiting the Galaxy S II and we’re happy to tell you that a leaked roadmap says it should launch at the end of October.
TMoNews got its hands on the leaked schedule for the next few months and it shows that the Android superphone from Samsung should be landing in late October but we still don’t have a specific release date.

Verizon's Samsung Illusion, Pantech Breakout revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungPantechBreakoutIllusion
Thanks to the savvy ninjas at PocketNow, we have the first real images of two upcoming Verizon smartphones – Pantech Breakout and Samsung Illusion. The first of the two has already been leaked before – it comes with LTE support, 4-inch WVGA display, 1GHz single-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera (for video calls), 512MB of RAM, memory card slot and the ability to create a mobile hotspot for up to 10 devices. In other words, it’s like the ThunderBolt or Droid Charge with a smaller screen.
As for the Samsung Illusion, we’ve no idea what it will pack under the hood. Judging by the phone’s model number (SCH-i110), it’s most likely a mid-range device with a single...

Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S available for pre-ordering in the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungSony EricssonGALAXY NoteXperia arc S
Two newly announced Android smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, are already available for pre-ordering in the UK through Clove.
The online retailer asks 349.99 GBP (about $563) for Sony Ericsson’s baby, listing September 26th as the availability date. The device, which BTW is an upgrade of the original Xperia arc, can be pre-ordered in either midnight blue or pure white.
As for the Galaxy Note, the situation is completely different there. Clove has no clue when Sammy’s huge superphone will be available nor how much it will cost. They show a “speculative price” of 600 GBP without sharing any dates whatsoever. If that doesn’t bother you, and you also happen to have...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessStratosphere
Remember that mysterious Samsung slider, the SCH-i405, headed for Verizon that was pictured during the summer? Many Verizon customers had hoped that it would be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Remember the Samsung Stratosphere that was listed on the Verizon roadmap we reported? Many thought that would be the Samsung Galaxy S II. Now that we know better, and the Samsung Galaxy S II is not coming to Big Red as we informed you, it turns out that Pocketnow has discovered that the mysterious slider is the Samsung Stratosphere.
To refresh your memory, the Stratosphere has a 4 inch screen with what appears to be a Super AMOLED Plus screen. 2GB of storage is aboard as is a 5MP rear camera an...

Samsung GT-i8350 to be no speed slouch
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungFocus Flash
In so far as we can trust WP Bench data (which is clearly not always the case) the Samsung GT i8350, which is believed to be the European successor to the Samsung Omnia 7, appears to be a pretty fast device, and significantly faster than the other new 1 Ghz Mango handsets like the Fujitsu IS12T or Acer M310/W4.
The Samsung GT-i8350 or Samsung Omnia W, with a 3.7 inch screen and 5 megapixel camera, is believed to be a relatively low-end handset, but maybe it has some surprises in store for us after all.

Samsung: Galaxy Note hits Europe Q1 2012, US afterwards
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
Samsung has yet to officially announce Galaxy Note release dates, leading to some confusion yesterday, but the company’s execs were at least able to give SlashGear a window. When we met with Samsung earlier today to get a more in-depth fondle with some of the Note’s more interesting features, they told us that it’s expected to arrive in Q1 2012 in the UK (and presumably Europe).
US availability, meanwhile, will follow “later than that” though they couldn’t say exactly how much later. Given we’ve only just seen a US launch for the Samsung Galaxy S II, despite it having gone on sale in Europe in late April, it’s certainly imaginable that North American carriers could drag their heels out for s...

Samsung Galaxy Note: a supersized Galaxy S II with a stylus

The Samsung Galaxy Note is a supersized Galaxy S II on steroids featuring a gigantic 5.3" HD Super AMOLED screen, a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and both LTE and HSPA+ connectivity supporting up to 21Mbps on the downlink, German tech blog Areamobile found out just before the official event. The official specs confirm that an add a built-in stylus and support for pen input, making this new smartphone supernova stand apart among other handsets.

White Samsung Galaxy W caught in the wild
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY W
Of all the new Android phones Samsung has recently announced, it seems the Galaxy W will be their biggest seller, with Three UK already adding it to its “Coming Soon” pages. Specs wise, it sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, though boasting a smaller 3.7-inch screen. In that sense, I guess the W is made for people who think phones with 4-inch and bigger displays are too bulky to carry around. I can understand the argument, though I don’t agree with it completely.
Anyway, the news is that in addition to the “default” black version, Sammy’s “W”onder phone will also be available in white, or at least the image above suggests so. I like white phones and can see the Kor...
