Ever since, and even before Samsung took the wraps off the Galaxy S5, rumors pertaining to yet another high-end smartphone line have been rife. There's talk of a feature-rich Galaxy S5 'Prime', which is being accompanied by further reports of a Galaxy Alpha, and although it's hard to determine whether these are two separate entities or indeed, one in the same, some new, high-quality photographic evidence of the latter has just emerged. Details, as well as those images, can be seen below.
Apple hasn't even managed to get the iPhone 6 out the door yet, but Samsung has already begun poking fun at not just the phone, but those lining up to buy one, too.
For a good while now, it has been suggested that Samsung would be coming through with a device finished in a more premium, perhaps metallic material. The Korean outfit has stuck faithfully with polycarbonate through the Galaxy generations, and although the sales figures would suggest that, at a consumer level, this isn't a problem, there's definitely a growing faction of Samsung fans that would love something a little more substantial. With the likes of the iPhone and HTC One series having catered to those with a thirst for the stronger stuff, it now looks like Samsung will finally cave, and according to a new report, the so-called "Galaxy Alpha" will be announced next month.
It's a well-known fact that Samsung spends copious amounts of money on advertising and marketing, and a good deal of that budget is commanded by adverts bashing rival Apple in one way or another. Two of the most influential outfits in mobile space, it's not uncommon for each company to deliver several ads a year taking shots at the other's products and services, and as such, it should come as little surprise that Samsung's efforts to plug its Galaxy Tab S line includes a few not-so-subtle digs at the Apple iPad.
When it comes to the Apple versus Samsung duel, any small victory on either side is amplified, with each respective party always eager to celebrate one-upmanship in terms of sales, advertising, or general popularity polls. But with heavyweight chip-maker TSMC having now taken a large portion of Apple's next-gen microprocessor orders - a hardware component that Samsung has long since been the main provider of - the Cupertino company just dealt its arch nemesis a major blow worthy of a quiet fist-pump.
Smartphones were undoubtedly the biggest technology of the last 7 years, and as time rolls on it's starting to become apparent that wearables are going to play a big part in the future of mobile technology. One thing that was expected to explode inside the last ten years is Virtual Reality, but alas, it's fallen by the wayside.
The Samsung Gear Fit fitness tracker and smartwatch is probably the least bulky smartwatch around, but it's also more of a fitness tracker than the kind of smartwatch that we're all so excited about getting. That doesn't mean that it's not awesome though, and if you've been on the fence about picking one up and happen to live in the United States, then now might be a great time to take the plunge.
Even before the arrival of the Galaxy S5 back in April, there was always a lingering feeling that Samsung was also plotting something better, perhaps even offering the metallic finish that so many have craved. The Galaxy F, as it has been referred, has not escaped the headlines despite the release of the Galaxy S5 LTE-A, and now, we have yet another alleged sighting of this most elusive of smartphones. Check out the snap, as well as all of the other details we have on the device, after the leap.
Samsung's flagship release for 2014, the Galaxy S5, launched in a blaze of glory back in April, with many quick to pour praise on the great camera and display features. But while the device's early sales figures made for happy reading for all connected with Samsung, the UK numbers tell a story in which the iPhone 5c - Apple's so-called "entry-level" model of iPhone - managed to outsell the all-new GS5, with both the 5c and the Cupertino's flagship 5s each shifting more units for the Galaxy S5 for the month of May.
When Samsung announced and subsequently released the flagship Galaxy S5 earlier this year, we knew that it wouldn't be the last in the series for 2014, and that the company's marquee release would spawn a number of spin-offs. We've already been treated to the likes of the camera-centric Galaxy K, or Galaxy S5 Zoom, but the one we were really waiting for was the down-sized Galaxy S5 mini. Today, the Korean company has granted our wish, officially unveiling the device by means of a press release, and below, we've got all of the info.
