Samsung Galaxy S III to feature quad-core CPU?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
An anonymous 4chan user is either leaking some seriously mind-boggling information about the Samsung Galaxy S III, or is just trying to troll us (which they’re well-known for). Either way, it’s caught our attention. Apparently, this random person has a huge inside scoop on the upcoming handset thanks to a briefing with some Samsung reps.
Samsung allegedly plans on unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S III at the 2012 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. According to the source, it will include — get your grains of salt ready — a 2.0 GHz quad-core CPU, 1.5 GB of RAM, a 4.65-inch display with a 1280 x 1024 resolution, 10 MP camera with 1080p 60 fps video, and 32 GB of internal storage. Just for ...

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 priced at $469.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
Are you looking for an Android tablet but don’t want to settle for the usual 7 and 10.1 inch varieties? Worry not, as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has received its official pricing for the US and should land on shelves very soon.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 is just as powerful than its 10.1 inch brother, but ships with the obvious smaller display, and because of that we weren’t surprised to hear that the price of the 8.9 isn’t much cheaper than the 10 incher. Starting at $469.99, the Tab 8.9 is virtually identical to its larger variant but can be wielded in one hand and weighs only 447 grams. While it may not be as comfortable as holding a 7 inch tablet in one hand, the Tab 8.9 is much more manageable ...

Samsung Infuse 4G gets minor software update, no Gingerbread to be found
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleAndroid 2.3Infuse 4G
AT&T is pushing a minor software update out to the Samsung Infuse 4G, though its not the one that users have been waiting for. Instead of upgrading the phone to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and hopefully a newer version of Samsung's TouchWiz interface, the update seems to just be a maintenance fix, and its difficult to tell what it actually offers. It could very well be an update to prepare the Infuse 4G for its promised Gingerbread upgrade, which is expected to arrive this fall. The update weighs in at about 14.5MB, and users can go to the About Phone section of the Settings app to download and install it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 available for pre-order from Best Buy
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 8.9
Though Samsung has yet to announce retail availability of its Galaxy Tab 8.9 Android Honeycomb tablet, that hasn't stopped big box retailer Best Buy from listing the tablet as being available for pre-order.
The Galaxy Tab 8.9 was originally unveiled at CTIA back in March, but it has yet to hit the market, despite its bigger brother, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, having been released earlier this summer. The 8.9 features an 8.9-inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display and an NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz. It is essentially the same thing as the 10.1, but with a slightly smaller screen.
The version that Best Buy is listing for pre-order is not the LTE model that was announced at the end of l...

TSMC secures A6, A7 SoC contracts, Apple divorces Samsung?
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
We’ve already heard talk about Apple divorcing Samsung as its chip producer for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), but now Taiwanese daily DigiTimes adds more fuel to the fire saying that Cupertino has signed a foundry partnership with TSMC. The new foundry is expected to be responsible for making not only the A6 chip expected to land on the Apple iPhone 6, but also the next-gen A7 chip. TSMC will produce the chips using 28nm and 20nm technology.
While the rumor about Samsung getting ditched has persisted, there was wide disbelief that Apple would kick off orders with TSMC before 2012. The Korean phone maker single-handedly helped Apple develop and roll out the A4 and A5 chip...

Apple brings Samsung lawsuit to the UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: SamsungApple
Apple has quietly filed a lawsuit as of this past Monday in the UK's High Court. The move is a countersuit to a lawsuit Samsung filed against Apple in the country back in June. Exactly which patents are at question hasn't been specified in either case, however.
Apple has recently sued Samsung in the latter's home market of Korea and even more recently brought this legal war to Japan as well.
Apple was recently awarded a preliminary ban on Samsung selling Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets in Germany during a trial, which was upheld after Samsung appealed it. The Korean company launched another formal appeal in a higher court.

ASA decrees iPhone 4 is thinner than Samsung Galaxy S II
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4Galaxy S II
For a while, the Samsung Galaxy S II supposedly claimed the title of world’s thinnest smartphone – thinner than even the iPhone 4. We all just assumed this was true but Apple knew the real truth and it continued to advertise the iPhone 4 with this title in commercials. So, the U.K.’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) received a complaint on the matter and decided to step in to solve things once and for all.
Let’s get to the nitty-gritty: The iPhone 4 has a flat, uniform design, which means everywhere you look on the device is going to be exactly 9.3 mm. The Samsung Galaxy S II does not have a uniform design, particularly noticeable with the odd bulge on the bottom side. At its thinnest p...

Ex-Samsung Electronics manager pleads guilty in insider trading probe with Apple iPad components
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleiPad
A former employee of Samsung Electronics said he indeed supplied screen components shipping information to a hedge fund manager about the upcoming Apple iPad last year.
Samsung is making some of the screens and other gear for the first iPad, so Suk-Joo Hwang was lured by promises for flying models on a private jet during weekend trips to Iceland in exchange for insider info about Apple's upcoming disruption device. We kid, but Wall Street somehow got under the guy's skin, and after 14 years of humble work for Samsung Electronics USA, he was trapped by the necessity to install a granite countertop in his old kitchen.
The guy has been granted immunity from the New York prosecutor, in order to ...

Samsung appeals the Galaxy Tab 10.1 ban in Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
The Regional Court in Duesseldorf has confirmed that Samsung filed an appeal against the injunction that prohibits its German branch from marketing and selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android tablet that was enforced last week. The injunction, which puts a pause on sales until a verdict has been reached if Samsung is infringing on Apple patents with its tablet, was upheld last Friday, and Samsung's lawyers are obviously not wasting their time.
Samsung has ways to circumvent the ban, but they might come at a price, and it obviously prefers the legal route, at least until the current stock of tablets flies out of the shelves at major retailers. Henrik Timman, who is part of the Rospatt Osten Pross...

Samsung claims T-Mobile Galaxy S II uses 1.5GHz Snapdragon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGalaxy S II
Samsung in a response on Twitter gave an answer as to the mystery of the processor in the T-Mobile Galaxy S II. A social media spokesperson said it was the 1.5GHz Snapdragon APQ8060, the same processor as in the TouchPad 4G. Every other Galaxy S II version so far uses Samsung's own 1.2GHz Exynos chip.
It's still not clear why the T-Mobile version will have needed one of Qualcomm's chips, although it may have to do with network choices. T-Mobile's need for the 1,700MHz band on its HSPA+ 3G, which might go to a rare 42Mbps, could have pushed Samsung to change processors to get the frequency support it needed.
When it ships, which is expected in mid-to-late October, the T-Mobile edition may not...
