Samsung releases Bada 2.0 SDK, promises three new Waves
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung has announced that it is releasing the Bada 2.0 development kit to app makers, with three new Wave smartphones set to launch before the year is out.
Bada 2.0 brings multitasking, Wi-Fi Direct, near field communications (NFC) and voice recognition with it, as well as support for Flash and HTML5 web browsing and apps.
The three new Wave smartphones, of which we'd expect at least one to make it to the UK, will launch with Bada 2.0 and range from premium to entry-level standards.

Verizon passes on GALAXY S II, but "similar" Samsung phone launching soon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGalaxy S II
Verizon Wireless is passing on the Galaxy S II smartphone according to a report in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday. BGR has confirmed with multiple trusted sources that this is accurate — Samsung will not unveil a Verizon-branded GALAXY S II smartphone next week at its New York City launch event on August 29th. Instead, Samsung will take the wraps off of GALAXY S II handsets that will soon launch on T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T. We’re told two of those carriers will maintain the “GALAXY S II” branding but one may offer a unique name for the handset. BGR has also confirmed, however, that Verizon Wireless will soon launch a Samsung device with very similar specifications — as in, nearly ident...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Galaxy Note, and Wave 3 are revealed thanks to Samsung's Unpacked app
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsungGalaxy Tab 7.7
In its current state, Samsung’s recently available Unpackedapp for Android is pretty much useless right now except for the notion that it teases us with the potential of getting live news and updates when the company kicks off their event at the IFA trade show.
However, one person managed to do some snooping around and uncovered a trio of new logos residing within the Samsung Mobile Unpacked APK. In fact, we’re greeted to three very distinctive devices – the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Samsung Wave 3, and the Samsung Galaxy Note.

Just when you thought companies couldn’t make the names to their phones any weirder, they amaze with a new effort. Samsung has decided to detail a letter-based smartphone naming system.

The new Sammy devices will be named the Galaxy W, Galaxy M Pro, Galaxy Y and Galaxy Y Pro. Below, you’ll find a chart to better help you sort out all this madness.

U.S. version of Samsung Galaxy S II replaces iPhone-like home button with Android one
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Has Samsung provided evidence in favor of Apple's claim that the Korean company has copied designs from the Cupertino based firm's products? Yesterday we reported that Samsung had released a video teaser for the U.S. version of the Samsung Galaxy S II and within that video may lie proof that Apple could have a strong case.
If you look closely at the video, the Samsung Galaxy S II being used in most of the scenes has an iPhone-style home button below the screen. That is the version that we have seen in most pictures of the handset that has been called the best Android phone ever made. But at the end of the video, there is a change. The picture of the Samsung Galaxy S II used has typical Andr...

A judge in The Hague just issued a ruling in Apple's patent infringement case against Samsung, prohibiting "the marketing of Samsung smartphones Galaxy S, S II and Ace for violation of Apple Inc.

Samsung preps Galaxy W, M Pro, Y, Y Pro
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung ramped up the launch of four new smartphones under a previously hinted new naming scheme. The Galaxy W hits the new mid-range and runs on a 1.4GHz, single-core chip with a 3.7-inch display. It still as much of the modern TouchWiz interface on top of Android 2.3 and supports up to 14.4Mbps HSPA for reasonably fast 3G.

Is this AT&T's first 4G LTE handset, the Samsung Impulse 4G?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&T
We have received photos from a trusted source that show what could be AT&T’s first LTE smartphone, the Samsung Impulse 4G. We don’t have too many details to go on beyond the photo you see above along with an image of a case accessory that maps out the back of the device, but the Impulse 4G does look awfully like the Samsung DROID Charge, and this might be AT&T’s equivalent. Again, no firm release date on this one, but we definitely like where this is going. Full-sized images are in the gallery linked below.

Samsung Galaxy S II users in Vietnam claim screen issues in locally produced units, Samsung debunks it
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
A number of Samsung Galaxy S II owners have arranged a coffee shop meeting in Hanoi to compare the displays of their phones, some of which have been produced in Samsung's factory in Vietnam, and found out they differ from the imports. Another issue had been the pink spot in the middle of the screen, resulting from trying to take pictures under low light conditions against bright backgrounds.
Samsung is operating one of its most modern factories in the country, which was a $1 billion investment, and it replied to the initial screen complaints that only 10% of the production goes to Vietnam, the rest is sold all around the world, and complies with the most stringent quality requirements of th...

Samsung promises big announcement on September 1st
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsung
Samsung has released two teaser videos that promise “something big” is coming during the IFA trade show in Berlin, which kicks off on September 1st. The videos are vague: one shows scenes by an ocean and the second has a number of people walking around with glowing objects in their hands. It is possible the clips are hinting at Samsung’s rumored Android Honeycomb Galaxy Tab device, which packs a 7-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 1024 x 600-pixel resolution, a 3-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel camera for video chats. Samsung unveiled the original 7-inch Galaxy Tab last year, so it’s entirely possible that an update will be announced on September 1st. But, some of the users are also holding...

Apple has been accused for the second time of manipulating images presented as part of its patent infringement suit against Samsung, this time for resizing shots of the Galaxy S so that they more closely resemble the iPhone 3G. Whereas Apple’s evidence shows two identically-scaled devices, ComputerWorld points out that in fact the Galaxy S is longer and wider than the iPhone 3G.

Samsung loses their marbles, plans on launching a 5.3 inch smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung, who many know from their rather large portfolio of Android smartphones and HDTV televisions, is also one of the world’s largest component suppliers. In fact, according to a recent article in The Economist, of the $178 worth of components Apple uses to make an iPhone 4, 25% of that money goes to Samsung. Two “industry insiders” who spoke to OLED-Info have told the online publication that Samsung will introduce several Super AMOLED panels later this year that pack a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. One of the said panels will measure 5.3 inches diagonally and be used in an upcoming smartphone.

Samsung Releases White Galaxy S II
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Samsung has today issued a press release which officially unveils the white version of their popular Galaxy S II. This announcement has been widely expected for awhile already, thus it is not a big surprise. The major specs will be the same as the black version's.
Evidently, the white version will launch in Korea today but global availability is unknown at the moment. Phonesreview.co.uk is claiming September 1st availability in the UK, so global launch should take place within a month or so.
