It’s been a really long time (roughly 6 months) since I got a chance to grab some live photos of a phone. Well, now I’m back from my student exchange in Thailand, and so are the live shots! The first phone to get the attention is the Samsung Galaxy Xcover S5690.

There have been rumors flying around of a Samsung Galaxy S III. The image above is proof of a WiFi certification for a Samsung GT-I9800. The model number for the Galaxy S III is believed to be GT-I9300, so what really is the GT-I9800? Will we have something even better than the Galaxy S III?
The Samsung Galaxy S III was rumored to be released at MWC next month, but Samsung has yet to decide whether this will happen or not. It remains to be seen what Samsung will bring to Mobile World Congress next month!
Samsung has began seeding bada 2.0 for owners of the original Samsung S8500 Wave. The update is now available in some parts of the world, and the rollout will continue in stages. This means that not everyone will receive the update today! The best thing you can do is to use Samsung Kies on your PC to see if the update is already available in your region. Enjoy!
During today’s earnings call, Samsung told that they will start mass production of the Exynos 5250 SoC in the second quarter this year. This is the dual-core Cortex-A15 monster that is clocked at 2GHz, supports a WQXGA (2560×1600) display resolution, and packs four times the graphics performance of the Cortex-A9 SoC.
Samsung told that the initial target is to bring the dual-core processor into tablets, and later into smartphones.
Chris Ziegler of The Verge together with several German sites have put out a rumor that Samsung will not announce their new flagship device, the Galaxy S III, at Mobile World Congress next month. Ziegler wrote that Samsung is “uncomfortable with another long lag between the global launch and the US availability”.
I guess we just have to sit back and wait for them to announce it. Stay tuned!
Check. This. Out! An awesome video showing how future shopping could be done. It involves Windows Phone, Windows 8 Tablet, QR codes/Tags, Surface 2.0, and Kinect. I love the seamless integration from one device to another. Another thing I do like is the tie-testing part ;) I have to watch this video again! Enjoy!
Here’s yet another Apple-bashing Galaxy S II ad from Samsung. I don’t find this as funny as the earlier ones, but it’s still worth checking out. Samsung, keep ‘em coming!
Samsung is continuing their jabs at Apple with their new “Samsunged” ad. This time around the company tackles inbuilt turn-by-turn navigation apps, and once again managed to make the ad funny. I love it! :)
