Apple is now the international leading smartphone manufacturer, beating not only the 14-year old ex-king Nokia but also surpassing Samsung!
While we’ve already talked about how you can install CyanogenMod on the latest superphone from Samsung, the Galaxy S II. Well, today we’ll be guiding our dear readers on how they can flash another very popular custom ROM MIUI on the said smartphone.
Samsung’s Galaxy S II smartphone will soon be available in a white version, Redmond Pie has learned. The Galaxy S II was announced back in February at Mobile World Congress and was released in May to select countries. It is one of, if not, the most well-received Android smartphone to date. Critics have been lauding it for the outstanding experience that it offers on its glorious 4.3” Super AMOLED Plus display with its dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB RAM.
Samsung has sold over 5 million units of their Galaxy S II Android smartphone in under 85 days, Redmond Pie has learned. The news comes from Yonhap News, a Korean newspaper which states that the world’s second-largest mobile phone manufacturer has announced that their Galaxy S II smartphone has shipped and sold over 5 million units in just under three months after launching in select countries over the world in May.
A new chapter in the recent patent merry-go-round sees Apple attempting to get sales of HTC's smartphones blocked, writes Bloomberg. The move comes after Apple claimed HTC is infringing upon five of its patents,ranging from movement sensors, to hardware for LCD touch screens.
Redmond-based Microsoft Corporation has demanded that Samsung Electronics pay the company $15 per smartphone handset it manufactures for using a wide variety of Microsoft’s patents on its “mobile platform”.
Earlier this month, Samsung filed a court order requesting to look at Apple's next-generation devices in order to look for close similarities between them and Samsung Galaxy devices. Apple, in response, filed a request to ban the sale of any Samsung mobile devices in the United States. Both companies were denied their requests.
With steadily increasing sales, Apple now has enough cash to buy the entire mobile phone industry, except for Samsung, at least if this estimate is to be trusted.
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.
Well well well, the whole Apple Vs. Samsung legal debacle just took a turn for the down right strange. According to ThisIsMyNext's Nilay Patel, Samsung's lawyers have asked courts to order Apple to hand over the company's latest iPhone 5 and iPad 3 prototypes so they can check their own hardware doesn't mirror that of hardware coming from Cupertino any time soon.
