Samsung Galaxy S III an “incremental” upgrade warns insider
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Samsung’s Galaxy S III will be more incremental update than bold new flagship, insiders claim, boosting speed and adding a new eye-tracking control system but otherwise being more of a Galaxy S II refresh. “It’ll be like the iPhone 4S was to the 4″ a UK telecoms source told CNET, referring to the more moderate changes Apple made to its smartphone late last year, despite persistent rumors of outlandish improvements. Meanwhile, Samsung might not even call it the Galaxy S III, according to the tipster.

No 3D technology for Samsung smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Apple is rumoured to be working on one. HTC and LG already have one. Yet it seems Samsung has no plans to follow suit by introducing 3D technology to its smartphone range.
Speculation had been rife that the new Samsung Galaxy S III might house some kind of 3D technology when it arrives later this year be it a display, camera or both.
In terms of a 3D display Samsung has vehemently denied working on one for the Galaxy S III or any other potential handset for that matter, which may put to bed any hope of a 3D camera too.

Samsung Mobile Display researchers arrested for leaking AMOLED screen tech to the competition
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
In exchange for $168, 544 in kickbacks, a 46-year-old former researcher at Samsung Mobile Display (SMD) has been arrested in Korea, and 11 other employees detained, for leaking Samsung's "small mask scanning" AMOLED display tech to the competition.
Everybody wants in on the AMOLED gravy train, and the researcher, who left for a rival company in November after being passed for promotion, reportedly also tried to shop the goods to Chinese display makers.
That might explain the sudden accomplishments of a few Chinese screen manufacturers we told yo about not long ago, resulting in not only ramped up AMOLED production, but reportedly also building factories for next-gen OLED technologies, which...

Rumor: Samsung Galaxy S III already being tested in Korea
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet about the Samsung Galaxy S III and we’re just going to contribute to that mess today by linking to some more rumors. First rumor, from a Koren publication called DDaily, is that the Galaxy S III will have a 4.65 inch AMOLED display that pushes 1280 x 720 pixels and doesn’t use the PenTile subpixel configuration. What does that mean in layman’s terms? The Galaxy S III will have an ultra sharp display, text will be smooth as hell, and it’ll make you drool. Second rumor, from another Korean publication called AsiaE, is that local operators are already testing the Galaxy S III. Samsung is a bit worried though, since testing usually takes two months...

Sprint begins employee training for Galaxy Nexus, launch looks imminent
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungSprintGALAXY Nexus CDMA
First it appeared in a slipped ad, and then on The Engadget Show during CES. More recently, Sprint's variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was spotted coasting through the FCC, and now it's practically a lock to launch between three and six weeks from now. We've received word that Sprint has initiated employee training specifically for the Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0, which will enlighten staff on the benefits of the handset, ICS and Google Wallet. Those involved with the training have to wrap things up within the next fortnight, leading us to believe that it'll make its way into retail outlets in late April or early May. In related news, the coursework also makes mention of enabling LTE on a...

Sprint Galaxy Nexus specs leak, no bump in processor speed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungSprintGALAXY Nexus CDMA
Before a new smartphone is launched, a carrier must first make sure that its employees are well familiar with the device. Same is the case with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which Sprint is expected to release later this month: tipsters say that the carrier is already running training sessions with its personnel. And what a great opportunity for some insider intelligence to leak on the web, don't you think?

Ice Cream Sandwich melts and leaks for the Samsung Galaxy Note
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleGALAXY NoteAndroid 4.0
A functional Android Ice Cream Sandwich build for the one and only Samsung Galaxy Note has leaked on the Internets, and it even comes as a trendy one-click installer Odin file.
Don't expect the Premium Suite with this leak, just Android 4.0 covered in a layer of TouchWiz, but it should be good to play around with until the official thing hits this quarter. Your internal memory gets wiped during install, so make sure you move the stuff out temporarily while updating.

Samsung's eeeny-weeny Galaxy Pocket is examined under the FCC's magnifying glass
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy Pocket
Once those wags at the FCC had finished joking about how difficult the Galaxy Pocket is to see with the human eye, it was time to get examining. Samsung's cellphone with a 2.8-inch display was revealed to be packing GSM 850 / 1900 and UMTS Band V radios that'll operate on AT&T's network (and those like it). The company hasn't committed to a US launch for the handset, but one thing is for sure: if it does arrive stateside, it'll come in very, very small boxes.

Samsung throws in free extended battery with VZW Galaxy Nexus, applies to new purchases only
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Samsung must be keenly aware that the Galaxy Nexus' battery life takes a hit on Verizon's LTE network: for a limited time, the outfit's throwing in a free 2,100mAh extended battery for first-time buyers (sorry, current Nexus owners are out of luck). To take advantage of the promotion, you'll have to purchase it through Samsung Direct (link below), which means you'll be paying $300 for the device and agreeing to a two-year contract. As Android and Me notes, though, you'd save quite a bit of money picking up the VZW Nexus and accompanying battery pack at Amazon for a combined $134. Suffice to say, then, this isn't a stellar deal, but those of you who disagree can avail yourselves through May ....
