Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungApple

The Wall Street Journal cites "a person familiar with the situation", who said that Samsung shipped more than 20 million smartphones in the three months ending 30 September.
Apple has already revealed that it sold 17.1 million iPhones in its quarter that ended 24 September, while Nokia claims to have shipped a mere 16.8 million smartphones.

Samsung Stratosphere, Motorola Droid RAZR to be first Verizon LTE phones with Micro SIMs?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungMotorolaVerizon WirelessStratosphereDROID RAZR
Looks like Verizon's got a hardware-crush on teensy 3FF Micro SIMs. The carrier's two latest 4G handsets, Samsung's Stratosphere and Motorola's Droid RAZR, both appear to make do with the diminutive cards. Neither, however, would be the first, as that honor was bestowed upon the carrier's version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you're eager to call one of these devices your own, but already sport Big Red's LTE service, then get set to bust out the scissors for a little SIM card arts and crafts. Further pictorial proof of these itsy, bitsy modules awaits you at the source.

Samsung shipped more smartphones than Apple in Q3
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Samsung managed to ship over 20 million smartphones in Q3 2011, one report says, and this means it shipped more smartphones in that quarter than any other company, including Nokia and arch-nemesis Apple. The two latter manufacturers cranked out 16.8 million and 17.1 million smartphones last quarter, respectively.
Samsung has proven itself to be the leading Android phone vendor over the past year or so, releasing successful devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S II. Just yesterday it teamed up with Google to announce the new Galaxy Nexus, Google’s new flagship Android smartphone and the first handset to ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Motorola and HTC both had their time in the spotli...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus goes on pre-order
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGalaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has shown up on Amazon for pre-order. Unfortunately, there is still no exact release date given for the tab, and the pricing puts it in a weird range.
The rumor has been that the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus would be coming to the US, and not the Tab 7.7, and the Tab 7.0 Plus is certainly aiming for a more budget-conscious consumer. The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has been listed on Amazon at $399 for the 16 GB model, and $499 for the 32 GB model. That's about where we would expect the prices to hit, especially given that Samsung is looking to turn a profit on this hardware, unlike Amazon with its $199 Kindle Fire, which will be a loss-leader to get people into Amazon's vario...

Galaxy Nexus was not designed to avoid Apple patent suits, Samsung exec says
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleGALAXY Nexus
Speaking during the AsiaD conference in Hong Kong recently, Samsung’s head of global mobile product strategy Won-Pyo Hong denied reports that the Galaxy Nexus was designed to avoid lawsuits with Apple. “At the time this was not really an issue,” Hong said, speaking about the design process of the phone. “I don’t know where that rumor is from.” The gossip started with an early report from an industry insider who suggested Samsung delayed its planned launch in San Diego due to last minute tweaks that were required to avoid patent lawsuits. Then on Wednesday, Yonhap News Agency quoted Samsung’s mobile head Shin Jong-kyun on Wednesday as saying, “We will avoid everything we can and take patents ...

Galaxy Nexus signup page includes seven US carriers, endless speculation
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Samsung and Google still haven't officially revealed which US carriers will be getting the Galaxy Nexus next month -- even though Verizon has been leaked, is shown in the official trailer (included after the break, look at 0:22), and there was a quickly-retracted Facebook confirmation earlier today. Now, the official signup page for release info on Samsung's site allows users to show their carrier preference between AT&T, Cellular South, Metro PCS, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon. It's hardly a confirmation this latest Android phone will ever be available on all of them, but even if you're not on Big Red, we won't kill your Ice Cream Sandwich dreams yet.

Samsung's Galaxy Nexus reportedly built to avoid Apple patent lawsuits
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung specifically designed the Galaxy Nexus to avoid patent lawsuits from Apple, Samsung’s mobile chief Shin Jong-kyun told Yonhap News Agency Wednesday. “We will see if it will be 100 percent free” from patent infringement lawsuits, he explained, noting that the current ongoing patent war with Apple is in its fledgling stages. “I think it is just a start and [the battle] will last for a considerable time,” Shin explained. “I don’t think there is much gain. What we are losing is the pride in our brand. We will avoid everything we can and take patents very seriously.” Samsung originally said it had postponed its San Diego press conference, during which it was supposed to launch the Galaxy ...

Samsung-Apple met during Jobs' memorial to discuss doing more business together
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
During Wednesday's private memorial service on Apple's Cupertino campus, Apple CEO Tim Cook sat down with Samsung CEO and company heir Lee Jae-Yong for more than 2 hours according to the Korea Herald. Rumors of the meeting had made the rounds last week just when the legal battles between the two companies was reaching a fever pitch. Lee told reporters when he arrived back in Korea that despite the legal conflict, Samsung would honor the current contract that has Samsung selling parts to Apple until sometime next year. Yesterday, Samsung said that it would make the quad-core A6 processor for the Apple iPhone 5.
Yong said that Samsung and Apple discussed how the Korean based firm could supply ...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus release date and specs leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
With launch possibly only a few hours away, the Ice Cream Sandwich toting Samsung Galaxy Nexus has gone and gotten itself a tasty little specs leak. On top of that, a tweet from Japanese mobile phone network NTT DoCoMo points to a November launch for the handset.
DoCoMo states it will be "among the first" to stock the phone in November which has also made an appearance on a printed flyer produced by the network.
Gpad.tv got hold of the flyer, which features a full set of specs that appear to be in line rumours so far. That means a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED HD 1280 x 720 resolution display. On top of that you can expect a 1.2 GHz TI OMAP4460 dual-core processor keeping the handset ticking over, ...

Vodafone confirms Samsung Galaxy Nexus deal
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Vodafone has contacted TechRadar to confirm that it will be stocking the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus when it goes on sale.
The new phone, which was announced at the launch of Google's new Ice Cream Sandwich OS, features a glut of top end technology, including a 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and a whopping 4.65-inch screen with 720p resolution.
While we were hoping for a more top end spec-list, there's no doubting that this phone will be pushed towards the more expensive end of Vodafone's range, so expect to pay north of £30 per month on a two year deal.

Samsung: the LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus will be 'a little' thicker
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
We got it straight from the horse's mouth here at Samsung and Google's Galaxy Nexus launch event that the future LTE edition of the Galaxy Nexus will indeed be thicker than the HSPA+ model showcased today (and above). How much thicker? "A little," according to a company representative, but he wouldn't go so far as to talk millimeters. When asked if the additional size was there to hold the LTE package or just a larger battery, he also failed to elaborate. We'd be shocked if the LTE variant doesn't pack at least a bit more juice -- we've covered the damage that LTE does to a battery in great detail here -- but frankly, we'd rather have something a wee bit thicker than a phone that dies after ...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus camera and 1080p video samples
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Wondering what the 5 megapixel sensor within the Galaxy Nexus is capable of? So were we. We didn't have a huge variety of subjects to photograph here in our meeting room, but we ran about and captured as many as we could just for a quick comparison. As promised, snapping multiple pictures in a row was a cinch, with the camera taking just a fraction of a second before being ready to shoot again. In fact, we couldn't even tap the screen fast enough to find its limit. We have to say, though -- the built-in "Edit" menu could stand to be stronger. The "effects" were thoroughly underwhelming, and Instagram addicts will find plenty to laugh about. The croping and twisting, however, is appreciated. ...

Samsung to supply A6 chip for iPhone 5, LG may supply screen
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungLGApple
It seems that regardless of the contentious legal battles being waged between Apple and Samsung around the world, Apple still sees Samsung as a "critical business partner". A report from the Korean Times says that Samsung will indeed supply the quad-core A6 chip which is expected to power both the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5. The same report also says LG is still likely to be the supplier of the iPhone 5 display.
Apple had been looking at TSMC as a possible supplier of the A6 chip, but that job looks to have fallen to Samsung. The report says that TSMC will still produce customized chips designed by Apple, but that it will be limited quantities. The A6 will instead be made by Samsung using its ...

Know who loves it when other OEMs call him big poppa? Ballmer, that's who. So much so that he's opened up the company's coffers to Nokia and Samsung for a holiday blitz of Mango marketing. Hold onto your hats though, it's no carte blanche access to Redmond's Gringotts. According to a report on Mobile Magazine, inside sources claim MS has set aside ₤28 million (about $44 million) for the endeavor, with about ₤20 million of that reserved for Nokia's first Windows Phone 7.5 handset. This joint marketing effort is reportedly a broader extension of the cooperative agreements all parties agreed to, ensuring future WP devices get the media saturation they deserve.
