Browser comparison: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich vs. Windows Phone 7.5 Mango

| February 3, 2012 22:10 UTC | 0 comments | source

Pocketnow has made a pretty comprehensive browser comparison between Android 4.0 and Windows Phone 7.5. They do all the usual speed tests, and also a few basic webpage renderings.

Android 4.0 is what runs on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, while Nokia Lumia 710 is in charge of the Windows Phone 7.5 part. As you probably know, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has a dual-core CPU running at 1.2GHz, while the Nokia Lumia 710 has a single-core CPU running at 1.4GHz. I’m amazed of the speed the Lumia 710 actually runs! The Galaxy Nexus is many times more expensive than the Lumia 710, and still the only advantage it gets, is when a webpage has Flash content.

Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III to be waterproof?

| February 3, 2012 19:48 UTC | 0 comments | source

Waterproof iPhone 3GS

Waterproof iPhone 3GS

Rumors are flying around all the time. Some of these prove to be correct, while the majority are just products of someone’s imagination. The newest rumor comes apparently from an anonymous tipster working for a large UK retailer, who claims that both the Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III will be waterproof.

The waterproof will not be achieved in the usual way by sealing the case, but by applying a special nano coating covering the chips, which then would be impenetrable by water.

Apple doesn’t have a waterproof product on the market, but Samsung has a selection of mobile phones that are waterproof. The Samsung Galaxy Xcover for instance is IP67 certified, meaning that it can last 30 minutes in 1m deep water.

With every manufacturer competing with who has the thinnest smartphone available, is it possible that we’ll see a flagship that is waterproof?

Android 4.0.3 ICS leaked for Samsung Galaxy S II

| February 3, 2012 19:17 UTC | 0 comments | source

Samsung Galaxy S II Android 4.0.3

Samsung Galaxy S II Android 4.0.3

A new official Android Ice Cream Sandwich build has leaked for the Samsung Galaxy S II. The I9100XXLPB is based on Android 4.0.3. This new build comes bundled with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, which replaces the stock Android 4.0 UI. I’d say that I prefer the stock Android 4.0 over Samsung’s TouchWiz, but I guess that not everyone feels this way.

With the build being pretty stable, it’s possible that Samsung is in the final stages in bringing this to the public. Some have even suggested that they’ll release this at Mobile World Congress. Q1 2012 has earlier been confirmed for the availability.

Hit View Post to see a short video of this build in action.

Press render of the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus leaked

Eldar Murtazin leaked today an image of a device believed to be the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus. He didn’t specifically mention what device this it, but given that it looks a lot like the Galaxy S II, I’d say that it is the Galaxy S II Plus.

The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus is expected to get a speed bump to a 1.5GHz dual-core CPU. The buttons have been slightly redesigned and gone all capacitive to match with Android 4.0′s overall design. As of now, Samsung has only one device running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and that is the Nexus S. The Galaxy S II Plus would hence be the company’s second ICS device.

An announcement at Mobile World Congress in a few weeks is highly possible.

Samsug Galaxy S III coming in 1H 2012

| February 2, 2012 09:07 UTC | 0 comments | source

Samsung briefly said in a statement that the Galaxy S III will not be announced at this year’s Mobile World Congress. The company will host a separate Galaxy S III event in the first half of 2012, so it could still be a few months away.

The successor to the Galaxy S II smartphone will be unveiled at a separate Samsung-hosted event in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product.

Samsung Galaxy S III coming March 13th, Galaxy Note S and Galaxy S II Plus in Q4 2012?

Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung Galaxy S III

Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S III have been going crazy around the blogosphere today. Apparently mobilecowboys.nl, a Dutch tech site, received a hint that the Galaxy S III will arrive on March 13 in Turkey. The source they cite has proven to be accurate in the past, so this could be real. Then again, it could be false. The source couldn’t provide any physical evidence, so take this bit of news with a pinch of salt.

Additionally, the source claimed that Samsung is going to release a variant of the Galaxy S II called the Galaxy S II Plus, and a variant of the Galaxy Note called the Galaxy Note S. Both of these devices are currently planned for Q4 this year, so right in time for the holidays.

Samsung Galaxy S Advance

Samsung Galaxy S Advance

The Samsung Galaxy S Advance, or GT-I9070, leaked today. As you’d expect, this places somewhere in between the original Galaxy S+ and the new Galaxy S II.

The Samsung Galaxy S Advance comes with a 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA (800×480) screen, a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, 1,500 mAh battery, 3.5mm audio-jack. All of the aforementioned is run by Android 2.3.6. The whole phone appears to be a bit curved, so it’s a nice addition for the Galaxy series.

We’re expecting to see this announced at MWC in a few weeks.
