The Samsung Galaxy Note II is a very inviting device. Once you've got over the intimidation of it's phablet form factor, you can begin to enjoy some of the perks an incredibly large display brings, and the Multi Window feature of the new Samsung smartphone epitomizes the usefulness of the 5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD display.
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S III may have displaced the iPhone 4S to become the best-selling smartphone in the world for Q3 2012, but if you combine sales of the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4S together, the Cupertino's iconic device just comes out on top.
The Samsung Galaxy S III is currently one of the most successful smartphones available on the market, and one of the prime reasons why Samsung has recently announced record breaking profits. With the Galaxy S III still standing on top of the Android powered community, it should come as good news to United Kingdom based consumers that the 64GB variant in black is now available for pre-order, and that as a SIM free option.
The general interest in photography has increased phenomenally as the cameras of smartphones have improved, yet while the latest high-end handsets can take a mean shot, they're still streets behind your professional DSLRs. Samsung has attempted to bridge the gap between the professional shooters of Nikon and Canon and the point-and-shoot culture our mobile devices are immersed in, by offering up the Samsung Galaxy Camera, and having announced the device some months ago, it looks as though it'll begin retailing in the United Kingdom later this week.
What's better than selling 20 million smartphones? Selling 30 million of course, and that's exactly what Samsung has gone and done!
It was only yesterday when a United Kingdom based court of appeals took the decision to reprimand Apple for their failure to act in proper accordance with an original judgment in October that stated they must issue an apology to Samsung Electronics through their customer facing UK website. Although the company has removed the initial linked statement from their website and are yet to publish the new homepage based announcement, they have started publishing the notice in UK print publications.
It was only a matter of time before a UK court of appeal got involved and ruled that Apple's apologetic statement to Samsung on their UK customer facing website didn't comply with the original ruling.
Samsung is enjoying a pretty fantastic time in the smartphone industry at the moment, thanks to their Galaxy S handsets that have proven to be hugely successful with the Android loving community. The current Galaxy S III model is still flying off the shelves and recent earnings reports have shown that the Korean based electronics giants are certainly going in the right direction with record breaking profits in the last quarter. There's nothing like a good rumor to raise the stock price of a company and it looks like the Galaxy S IV speculation is starting to surface.
Samsung has posted their quarterly turnover for the last three months, and it makes extremely good reading for executives and shareholders of the Korean based electronics company. A large portion of that revenue has been put down to the success of their Galaxy S range of devices such as the S II and the current flagship S III powerhouse that is leading the Android market. To celebrate the earnings announcement, Best Buy is offering the Galaxy S III at a 50% reduced rate for the next three hours.
Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung smashed the smartphone shipment record in the third quarter of 2012, with 57 million handsets shipped worldwide. In the process, it captured a 35 percent global share of the market, cementing its position as the number one smartphone manufacturer ahead of Apple.
