Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY S Advance
Intrigued by the Galaxy S Advance's more-than-middleweight specifications revealed yesterday? Well, if you're residing in the UK, you can expect to see the curved smartphone arrive on the Three network. Packing a five megapixel camera and a 1GHz dual-core processor, the Galaxy S Advance will also grace us with a four-inch Super AMOLED display. Although pricing and availability remains a closely guarded secret -- the phone hasn't reached the carrier's Coming Soon pages yet -- anyone seeking out an upgrade to their increasingly creaky Galaxy S can expect to see more details appear soon. The PR's after the break.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus set for CPU reboot
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Samsung and Google could re-launch the Galaxy Nexus with a beefed up 1.5GHz processor and GPU from Texas Instruments if early benchmark tests are to be believed.
The news was triggered after a new benchmark score was spotted on the Nenamark site, which displayed a Galaxy Nexus with a PowerVR SGX544 graphics processor.
This GPU from Texas Instruments comes with a 1.8GHz processor, but could be underclocked to 1.5GHz for the Nexus, as the processor in the original Nexus was underclocked from 1.5GHz to 1.2GHz.

The result found on the benchmarking site could well be a fake; however Samsung have a track record of re-releasing handsets which slightly different specs. Just take...

Samsung faces EU antitrust investigation over mobile patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung's European legal woes don't look to be abating anytime soon, as the EU today formally launched an investigation into the Korean manufacturers' competitive practices. At issue are, not surprisingly, a collection of patents that Samsung has used to launch a series of lawsuits against rival companies. The manufacturer maintains that these patents are essential to complying with European mobile standards, but the EU says Samsung may be in violation of a promise it made more than ten years ago. Back in 1998, the firm said it would license these essential telephonic patents to competing manufacturers, under the terms outlined in FRAND. The Commission explained the obligation and its potent...

Samsung faces antitrust investigation in Europe over use of mobile patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
The European Commission announced on Tuesday that it has opened a formal investigation into Samsung’s competitive practices. The Commission will assess whether the Korean manufacturer “used certain of its standard essential patent rights to distort competition in European mobile device markets, in breach of EU antitrust rules.” Samsung has used a collection of its patents to launch a series of lawsuits against rival companies, such as Apple. The technology giant maintains, however, that these patents are essential to implementing European mobile telephony standards. Samsung may now be in violation of a promise it made in 1998, when the company gave its “irrevocable commitment to the European...

Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 still banned in Germany; EU examining Samsung's patents
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court has upheld the ban in Germany of the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 but also added that the Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 falls within the scope of the ruling. The Korean based manufacturer has already worked around the injunction by making changes to the original model and re-introduced it as the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1N. Apple has tried to have that tablet banned, but to no avail. The decision made on Tuesday was based on a violation of German unfair competition law instead of the original community design that the original ruling was based on.
Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents says that the ruling is "a mixed bag" for Apple. Since Samsung already has been allowed to ...

UK deal: Samsung Galaxy Nexus down to 449.41 GBP at Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Amazon UK is now selling the unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus for 449.41 GBP, which is some 50 GBP off the phone’s launch price. That’s still a lot of money (about $707) and the reason why we don’t call it a “hot deal” but only “deal.” However, it’s a well known fact that Europeans are used to paying more for their gadgets — except when they get a phone with a carrier contract, that is.

Samsung Galaxy GTI9070 surfaces as the Galaxy S Advance
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY S Advance
The Galaxy GT-I9070 that surfaced in the past few days undergoing testing at the FCC has been given a name. Turning up in the Philippines, the new model has been dubbed the Galaxy S Advance. While originally thought to be a spin-off of the Galaxy S II, it appears like a cross between the original Galaxy S and the Nexus S, amounting to a what could be described as a Galaxy S 1.5. While it carries the same 1GHz clock speed as the Galaxy S and Nexus S, it includes a more advanced dual-core processor.
Like the original Galaxy S, it carries a 4-inch 800x480 Super AMOLED display and a 5-megapixel camera. However, it also picks up the trademark curved display that normally helps to set the Nexus li...

Sprint's Samsung Galaxy Nexus gets its own landing and registration page
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
During the chaotic busyness of CES, we managed to get a quick look at Sprint’s upcoming Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device – the indomitable Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Just like its close Verizon sibling, we know that Sprint’s model will also be packing support for 4G LTE, however, we were left in the dark about its impending availability.
Although we’re not hearing about an actual release date just yet, it’s seemingly close considering that Sprint recently blessed the Android flagship with its very own landing and registration page. Heading over to Sprint’s web site, we now find a section dedicated to the upcoming smartphone – with some detailed specs mentioned and the option for notification...

Those of you who seem to be more closely connected to the Maple Leaf than the pine needle might've jumped on the envious side at the news that folks across the border are getting their hands on the LTE Galaxy Note. Envy no more. Via blog post, Rogers has announced that Samsung's "phablet" creation will be surfing through its fresh 4G waves in the upcoming month. Aside from the Rogers branding we expect to see, it'll be hard to distinguish this Note from its AT&T brother, as it'll be identical in the specs department. Based on a page thrown up at Best Buy Canada, it looks as if it'll sell for $249.99 on a three-year contract (with Bell and Telus getting in on the fun, too), with the first of ...

The rumour-mill is awash with Samsung Galaxy S III murmurs, following a couple of reports suggesting that the future flagship smartphone from the Korean company was facing a delay.
The Galaxy S III grapevine seemed to suggest that the next big Sammy Android instalment would be getting a February unveiling at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Not so, says The Verge though who cite our old pals "people familiar with the matter" as saying that Samsung had originally planned to announce the handset at MWC but has now decided to delay the news.

Samsung is proud to unveil today their 2012 LED HDTV lineup. This group of TVs will include 3 new series, the ES7500, ES7000, ES6800, and ES6100.

They will all come with Smart TV and 3D technology and will range between 40 and 65 inches, diagonally. Other major features include Wi-Fi technology and some will even include a built in web cam for talking on Skype and other social platforms.

Samsung Edges Apple to Take Top Spot in 2011 Smartphone Sales
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungApple
It's really a shame that the intense competition between Apple and Samsung is marred by lawsuits and counter-suits over patent portfolios, because at the end of the day, it'd be far more entertaining to see these two attack each in ad campaigns than to let their respective lawyers smack one another with legal mumbo jumbo. Even with the distractions of multiple lawsuits, it's turning out to be a pretty tight race.

Samsung begins sampling the Exynos 5250, mass production kicks off in Q2 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung reported rock solid quarterly results, but still couldn’t beat Apple’s historic smartphone sales. It has some exciting chips in the pipeline, though, and the one we’re most excited about is the Samsung Exynos 5250 which Samsung says has already begun sampling with mass production expected to kick off in the second quarter of 2012.
The chipset comes with a dual-core Cortex-A15 setup with each of the cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The Cortex-A15 is a huge leap over the A9, and Samsung claims it will double its performance and possibly outdo even existing quad-core chips. The new chip supports screens with resolution of up to the staggering 2560 x 1600 pixels (WQXGA).
