Samsung to Make Super AMOLED Displays Even Stronger Thanks to Lotus Glass
by Lucian Armasu on Feb 03, 2012 0 Comments">0
Samsung was already using Gorilla Glass in their Galaxy S devices to make them more scratch resistant and shatter proof, but they are now signing a partnership with Corning to manufacture the next generation of Gorilla Glass, called Lotus Glass. The Lotus Glass will withstand higher processing temperatures that are needed to manufacture AMOLED displays, so Samsung will benefit not just from being able to brag with a stronger display, but also to more easily and more cheaply manufacturer their panels. The Lotus Glass will also consume less power and will support higher resolutions. In fact, beyond using them in …
Samsung Is Working on Two Tablets Called P3100 and P5100
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 31, 2012 1 Comments">1
It looks like Samsung is already getting ready to release 2 more tablets very soon. These 2 screenshots show that Samsung is getting Wi-Fi certifications for 2 new devices, both which have dual-band Wi-Fi. Although they are put in the “smartphone” category, we know they are tablets because of their naming convention. GT stands for Galaxy Tab, and P stands for its category (tablet). So what will these tablets be about? First of all, the GT-P5100 one should be the one we’ve already been hearing rumors about, the one that is supposed to have a display larger than 10.1″, an …
Samsung Exynos 5250 on a Galaxy Tab?
by Christine T on Jan 30, 2012 0 Comments">0
Even though Samsung has been delaying any announcements about the Galaxy S3, it is clear that people are still taking an interest to know all about the new device. Today, however, the company decided to take a break and discuss the much anticipated Exynos 5250 chipset. If you can recall, we’ve already been setting ourselves on the lookout for the new chipset. It is actually a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) which is scheduled to be released into mass production on the Q2 of the year. Currently, it is making the rounds with Android manufacturers and seeing productivity updates. The different thing about …
Should the Galaxy S3 Wait for a Dual Core Cortex A15 CPU and a Mali T604 GPU?
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 27, 2012 3 Comments">3
Remember that just around the time when the Galaxy S 2 was being launched in US, there were rumors about the Galaxy S3 launching as soon Q1 2012? Some people were upset about it arriving so early, especially Americans who just got theirs, while others were wondering if that would even be possible. Technically, I think it’s possible for a true next-gen device to replace the previous version after only 9 months. But this can only be done by the best and the most efficient manufacturers in the industry right now – like Samsung, HTC and even Motorola (disregarding the …
Next-Gen Galaxy Tab to Have a Dual Core 2 Ghz Cortex A15 Chip and 2560×1600 Resolution
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 27, 2012 0 Comments">0
Last November Samsung said they were working on a dual core 2 Ghz Cortex A15 chip called Exynos 5250. A dual core 2 Ghz Cortex A15 chip should be at least 2.5x as powerful as the current dual core 1.2 Ghz Cortex A9 chip in Galaxy S 2. And that’s a difference that you will feel in real world performance, unlike with current quad core chips, where you might feel an improvement in performance, but not twice as big, and only for certain apps and games. This chip will apparently use the much more powerful Mali T604 GPU, which should …
Droid Razr Maxx vs. Galaxy Nexus – Battery or Ice Cream Sandwich?
by Derek Scott on Jan 27, 2012 15 Comments">15
I hope you guys are ready for a quick comparison of a couple of the most highly desired Android phones currently on the market. Let’s start off by introducing both the phones. INTRODUCTIONS Droid Razr Maxx In Corner 1 we have “the rookie” the freshly released Droid Razr Maxx who was released on the market on January 26 2012 by Verizon. The Razr Maxx was born from the brains of a Motorola engineer who thought of packaging a higher capacity battery onto the original Droid Razr by Verizon. The Razr Maxx almost never became as there was considerable hesitation from both Motorola and Verizon …
Samsung: We’re Leading the Way for Android
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 25, 2012 0 Comments">0
LaptopMag has a pretty insightful interview with Ryan Bidan, product marketing manager for Samsung, and we can see what Samsung thinks about the Android ecosystem right now, and a bit about where they are going in 2012. One of the more interesting quote’s I saw from him was when he said that Android 4.0 implemented some features that were in TouchWiz first: So what role does your TouchWiz software play in this dynamic and does it really add value? Bidan: If you look between Gingerbread and Honeycomb and some of the stuff that we did on there with TouchWiz, a lot of …
Nokia’s 1.5 Billion S40 Phones Number Is Irrelevant for Today’s Markets
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 25, 2012 0 Comments">0
Nokia has just announced that since 1999 they managed to sell 1.5 billion S40 mobile devices. That is an impressive number in a world that was starting to use a mobile phone for the first time and that grew up with Nokia. I’m not going to argue whether Nokia was or was not a great company in the past. It clearly was, and I’ve owned several Nokia phones myself. The question is how relevant are those numbers today? Those type of phones are becoming obsolete and quickly starting to be replaced by lower-end Android phones. Thanks to companies like Huawei, ZTE …

WiFi Display to Make Your Life Easier in 2012
by Lucian Armasu on Jan 23, 2012 2 Comments">2
Later this year, there will be a new industry standard called WiFi Display, that will start appearing in both mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, but also smart TV’s. Both TI and Qualcomm are pushing for this standard in 2012 and we should expect at least a few devices to have it by the end of the year. Samsung and Nvidia haven’t announced anything related to this, but Samsung is one of the biggest TV manufacturers, and they are good at pushing new standards, so I’m sure they will have this, too, most likely starting with the Galaxy S3. …
Galaxy Nexus – It Wasn’t What I Hoped It To Be…
by Randy Khoo on Jan 22, 2012 16 Comments">16
You could say that the Galaxy Nexus is the most anticipated Android device of 2011. It’s what Android enthusiasts were hoping the Nexus S to be when dual core technology started cropping up in mid-2010. The Galaxy Nexus was already out towards the end of 2011 in the West, but here in Asia, we are only getting a glimpse of this device now. As an Android Enthusiast, I have high expectations of the Galaxy Nexus. After all, it is a Pure Google device that’s considered by many to run bleeding edge Android OS. It is Android at its best. However, …

The greatest bane of any businessperson on the go is their portable device suddenly running out of juice in the middle of nowhere. This dependence on electricity may not seem a big deal in our mostly electrified world.
Samsung, Apple Vow To Protect Smartphones From H2O

Getting a smartphone waterlogged is the quickest way to get it thrown into the trashcan – which is par for the course for most electronics. Unfortunately, it is sometimes hard to avoid the dreaded element when your device is supposed to go with you everywhere. Don’t worry though, Samsung and Apple are on the case.
Apple attacks the Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 21, 2012 30 Comments">30
We all know that Apple’s Co-Founder, the late Steve Jobs number one goal was to destroy Android, and it looks like his employees are still working on that now. The latest to come out in the Apple vs. Samsung story, is that Apple is sueing for the “Slide to Unlock” in Ice Cream Sandwich – Android 4.0, which is currently only officially available on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (I know some of us have it on our rooted devices). Apple does own the patent for the “Slide-to-unlock” feature that has been in the iPhone for as long as I can …
Samsung pokes fun at iOS Users in their Latest Ad
by Alexander Maxham on Jan 21, 2012 0 Comments">0
Samsung loves to poke fun at iOS users, just like how Apple loves to poke fun at Android users. In this new commercial, Samsung shows that the next big thing is already here, while all the iOS users are lined up at an Apple store awaiting the launch of the next generation iPhone. Samsung pokes fun at Apple’s iPhone 4S saying “it looks like last year’s phone” while showcasing Android’s built in turn-by-turn navigation which is powered by Google Maps, on the Samsung Galaxy S2. Of course iOS lacks that functionality out of the box, you have to download an …
