With the announcement of its next Galaxy S device just around the corner, it's now become official record that Samsung has trumped fierce rival Apple to claim number one spot in terms of smartphone market share.
Remember that 'Wake Up' advertising campaign that was part of the reason a bus full of people turned up outside an Apple Store in Australia? Remember how the talk of the Internet was that the whole thing was part of a Samsung campaign against Apple? Turns out that might not be entirely accurate.
Although Nokia have been going through a rather difficult spell in recent years, they have still been managing to cling on to the top spot when it comes to global sales of cellphones - until now. According to new research conducted by a number of analytics firms, Samsung have ousted Nokia from the top of the leader board.
We find this very difficult to believe, and very easy to believe in equal measures, so let's just get this out of the way and see what everyone else thinks. With Samsung's focus very much on the Galaxy S III these days, it is full steam ahead for the company's various P.R. departments, and it is one of those departments which is being accused of putting together a rather elaborate advertising campaign.
While the announcement for the next Galaxy smartphone - informally referred to as the Galaxy S III - isn't due until May 3rd as we've previously reported, Samsung has already dropped some news regarding the processor that will power the upcoming flagship Android smartphone. By the looks of things, this processor definitely seems to be worth getting your Android-mascot branded mascot in a twist over. It's called the Exynos 4 Quad, is clocked at 1.4GHz, and is based on the ARM Cortex A9 mobile processor. This processor seems to be quite inline with some earlier rumors, apart from the branding; rumors suggested that the upcoming quad-core CPU will sport the Exynos 5 branding.
With little over a week before Samsung finally takes the wraps off the Galaxy S III, the tech world is doing its level best to reveal what the device is going to look like.
As the launch of Samsung's Galaxy S III draws ever-closer, Amazon Germany has already begun accepting pre-orders of the handset, and whilst there aren't any accompanying images, the price and features revealed are - given Amazon's rep as an online retailer - as good as confirmation.
We've seen a lot of photos purporting to depict Samsung's hotly-anticipated Galaxy S III device, and while some of them have raised eyebrows throughout the tech community, most have been less than convincing.
Apple's long running spat with Samsung over just about everything they've ever sold had provided months of entertainment already. Both companies have sought sales bans in their quests to disrupt sales of new devices around the globe, and the spat shows no sign of coming to an end any time soon.
