According to a report from Japanese market analysis firm Nomura, Samsung is set to overtake Nokia as the world’s largest smartphone maker this quarter. Not only that, Apple, with the iPhone as its one and only smartphone, is set to overtake Nokia in the next quarter; ending Nokia’s 14 year old reign at the top.
J.K. Shin, President of the Mobile Communications division at Samsung, has unveiled plans to release a new Galaxy Tab tablet by the last quarter of this year and a new Galaxy S smartphone early next year.
All the Android buzz these days is about Samsung's latest wonder-phone, the Galaxy S II, but according to reports the South Korean's original Galaxy S is stealing the show in Japan.
Samsung's Galaxy S II is the current Android king, so it's only natural that it's being thrown into the ring with the current premium handset of choice for the masses, Apple's iPhone 4. In a new video for PocketNow, Brandon Miniman has taken the two smartphones and thrown them into a battle royale to see which is best.
Samsung's Galaxy S II has barely been launched and thanks to developer Chainfire of XDA-Developer fame, it has been rooted already for full file system access.
With Samsung's Galaxy S II landing in stores in just a few short days now, buyers don't have long to wait before they can get their hands on all that loveliness. Packing a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU and 1GB of RAM to power that massive 4.3inch WVGA screen the replacement for the talismanic Galaxy S is sure to be a crowd pleaser - and you can get a little slice of the fun right now.
Apple has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung for the Galaxy line of products. Apple claims that Samsung has infringed on their rights with the Galaxy S phones and Tab by violating various patents which were assigned to Apple by US PTO.
Apple's iPad 2 has caused a real stir in the tech community, nowhere more so than Apple's tablet competitors. Now Samsung has announced their new Galaxy Tab 8.9 and a redesigned 10.1 today, complete with iPad 2-like thin-ness.
With many owners of the Samsung Galaxy S still not rocking Google's Froyo version of Android, it's surprising to hear the company has been hard at work on a Gingerbread version of the OS. It's even more surprising that it's managed to leak said software on the web. Ooops.
Samsung has shared some juicy info with the guys over at Pocket-Lint and it's not your usual phone stuff. Turns out, Samsung will be taking advantage of it's roots in the home entertainment world to enable TV like streaming on its upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and Galaxy S II smartphone.
