Rumor: Samsung Will Cut TV Production by 80 Percent
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsSamsung
We’ve been consistently impressed with Samsung’s high-end TVs. This year’s 8000 models are especially slick, with crazy thin bezels and outstanding pictures. That’s nice and all, but it doesn’t matter unless all of that turns into sales. Samsung has been losing sales over the last year or so, resulting in an atrocious second quarter. The whole flat-panel market is a bit rough right now and Samsung has announced cuts in TV production, just like LG before them.

Samsung announces the Galaxy S II HD LTE in South Korea
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
South Korean handset vendor Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy S II variant we’ve all been waiting for: The Galaxy S II HD LTE. Just as the name implies, this smartphone is capable of using LTE networks, has a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels which delivers an astonishing 316 pixels per inch, and other than that … it’s basically got the same guts as the 4.5 inch Galaxy S II LTE that was announced at IFA in late August. Inside there’s a dual core 1.5 GHz processor, what we assume to be 1 GB of RAM, and an 8 megapixel camera than can also capture 1080p video. Will this thing come to American shores? Probably. It’s likely that what you’re looking at be...

We saw the Samsung Galaxy S II for AT&T at the unveiling event recently, and while we had a little bit of time with it, we really couldn’t get a feel for the device since it was tethered and tied down. Now that we have our review unit in tow, we’ve been able to spend a little more time with the device and can give you more thorough initial impressions. Oh yeah, and a photo gallery.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
I guess we knew UK will be among the first countries to get the taste of the Samsung Galaxy Note. After all, we’ve already seen the device available for pre-ordering though at that moment we didn’t have any details whatsoever. Today we have one additional tidbit of information – the 5.3-inch screen equipped phone-tablet will be released in November and will cost about 500 GBP (roughly $770) + VAT.

Verizon goes to bat for Samsung in patent war with Apple
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungAppleVerizon Wireless
Well, it was really only a matter of time before third parties stuck their nose in the ongoing battle between Apple and Samsung. For most of this time others have stood on the sidelines, occasionally shouting moral support. But, no one has rolled up their sleeves and put up their dukes for either party -- that is, until now. Verizon has requested permission to file a brief with the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, asking it to deny Apple's request for a nation-wide injunction against the Infuse 4G, Galaxy S 4G, Droid Charge and Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Samsung Galaxy S II hits the 10 million sold mark with no help from the U.S.
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
It took the Samsung Galaxy S II one less month than the original model to reach 10 million in sales. And that total, compiled over 6 months, does not include any sales from the U.S. where the phone only recently was launched on Sprint as we reported. Considering the pent-up demand for the phone Stateside, and the great response that those who purchased the Samsung Galaxy S II, Sprint Epic 4G Touch have had to the device, the 10 million sold figure is going to rise sharply by the time Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T are all done selling the device in the States..

NFC-enabled Samsung Galaxy S II coming to Orange France in October
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Orange is betting heavily on the prospects of contactless payments, powered by NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. In the UK, they will be piloting the service using Samsung’s bada-powered Wave 578, while for its own backyard they’ll use the Samsung Galaxy S II. As far as I’ve understood, they won’t be offering some special version of the smartphone — rather they seem to talk about NFC-enabled SIM cards, something South Korea’s SK Telecom also wants to try out.

Best Buy shopper gets to take home the Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9 before the masses
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
An anonymous Best Buy shopper told Android Central about how he ended up taking home an un-released Samsung GALAXY Tab 8.9. As we reported, that tablet is now up for pre-order at Best Buy. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. Anyway, the subject of the story had purchased the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 from the big box retailer, but was disappointed to see that his tablet suffered from a manufacturing defect. So he decided to return the tablet from whence it came.
So far, there is nothing strange or unusual to the story. When the Best Buy rep inside the store took the defective GALAXY Tab 10.1 to the back room to exchange it with a new unit, he accidentally came out with a Samsung GALA...

Best Buy Employee Flips Epic 4G Customer the Bird

A member of the Android Central forum uploaded a picture of a Best Buy employee waving his middle finger, which came pre-loaded on his newly purchased Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy S II) smartphone. After discovering the surprise extra, he sought out a store manager who dismissed the situation, saying it's not uncommon for Best Buy employees to open new merchandise and play with the hardware before boxing them back up and selling as new.
"Yeah I have to admit the camera quality is petty nice, lol. But yeah I spoke to their manager and he just made excuses, 'When we get in new devices the techs like to open them up and explore them a bit,' was his reasoning," Android Central forum member "rem...

Samsung reportedly mulling a legal offensive against the new iPhone in Europe as well
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4s
Hot on the heels of yesterday's news that Samsung will try to ban the sales of Apple's next iPhone in Korea, basing its lawsuit on wireless patents infringement, now comes a Reuters piece alleging the same move in Europe as well.
The "source familiar with the matter" has disclosed that Samsung is planning to ask for an injunction against Apple's iPhone 5, or whatever the retail name ends up to be when it is about to launch next month in Europe, probably basing its counteroffensive on several wireless patents it holds, which will be featured in the new iPhone as well.
Apple is suing Samsung in a number of countries on four different continents, trying to ban sales of its tablets and smartphon...

Samsung Galaxy S II graphics processor found to be fastest among current smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
We didn't have high hopes or hard numbers for the Mali-400 GPU desinged by ARM that found its way in Samsung's first dual-core chipset Exynos, but going with PowerVR was obviously no longer possible in light of the battles between Apple and Samsung.
The last year's finest Apple A4 and Samsung Humingbird both utilized PowerVR, but this year the new dual-core chipsets A5 and Exynos went separate ways with both the architecture and the graphics subsystems.
AnandTech, however, compared the Mali-400 GPU performance, and found it to be better than other graphics chips in current high-end smartphones, including for the Adreno 220 GPU as found in Qualcomm's Snpadragon S3 in phones like the HTC Sensa...
