Samsung Galaxy Note II unveiled but no carrier announcement

Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:08:44 +0000

Just a couple of days ago Samsung made an announcement in their Press Release of the Samsung Galaxy Note II and created an interesting video for you to watch. Watch the hands on Youtube video by Samsung here. Of course, they did not even mention what carrier may be getting it. We know that T-Mobile has the Samsung Note so will they get it first? Who would guess so? I would. Recently, Samsung also had an event on Facebook called the Samsung Mobile Unpacked 2012 event which includes great topics and facts about what direction they are going in. If you missed the live Samsung mobile unpacked 2012 video, here is a link to it from Facebook.

The press release looks pretty promising but we just wish the date of release was listed. Samsung did say this about US availability:

Samsung Mobile is planning a U.S. version of Galaxy Note II, which will be available later in 2012. Building on the success of the original Galaxy Note, we’re confident that the Galaxy Note II continues to redefine what consumers should expect from their smartphone and delivers a powerful, innovative and unique experience. Exact timing and retail channel availability is not being announced at this time, we will continue to share information as it becomes available.

Below you will find a screenshot of specific details about the Samsung Note II:

Do you have T-Mobile service or the Samsung Note? Do you plan on grabbing it as soon as it comes available? We would like to know if so and also let us know what you think about the specifications on the Samsung Note II. If you aren’t a member here yet, join by clicking here.

iPhone/iPad > Android in HTML5!

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:17:18 +0000

HTML5, a collection of different web technologies, is what many believe to be the future of cross-platform mobile gaming and apps. With every new release of mobile operating systems, HTML5 rendering has become more and more efficient and capable.

When comparing iOS to Android in terms of how well HTML5 web rendering can be done, Spaceport.io found that iOS smokes the competition. The Galaxy Nexus, the Android device with the latest hardware and the very latest software, did the best as far as Android devices go, but it fell very short of the iPhone 4S. Overall, it looks like Apple is way ahead of its competition in HTML5 rendering, although everyone has a ways to go before HTML5 becomes a significant daily player.

Take a look at the comparison below to get the concept of how the two largest mobile operating systems stacked up!

Samsung Galaxy SII in the works

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:18:44 +0000

If you have not already heard about it, this is great news! Apparently the Samsung Galaxy SII rumors are true and this bad boy has been approved by the FCC. What’s so sweet about this device is that it supports 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies, meaning it’ll almost certainly come with dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi. We heard this is one of the first phones ever to come with this feature.

Looks like this may also be a hybrid (dual band) device which is great for developers if so. Sources suggest it’s potentially headed to AT&T as well as Canada. Which ever place it will go first it shouldn’t be too much longer before you start seeing images and prices flooding the internet.

For now let us know what you think in the comments box below.

Androphones has it from several sources that Samsung will be launching a new Snapdragon powered Android device. Judging from the likely specifications, this will surely have enough rocket power to boost you to whatever galaxy you want to go to.

– 1 GHz Snapdragon
– 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen
– 5 MP camera
– 32 GB internal memory
– Android 2.1
– 3.5 mm jack
– and of course all the other goodies that make a decent smartphone, like GPS, WiFi and such.

The expected release date is sometime in the 2nd Quarter of 2010, but they advise us to look towards the MWC happening next month in Barcelona for an official revealing.
