Samsung to Unveil LTE Goodness at IFA!!!

Samsung has a full house of LTE!!!!

IFA is one of the largest consumer electronic shows of the year. The show is running from Sept 2nd untill the 7th. Samsung as already revealed that they will be making a rather large announcement at this show as we reported here. Now it seems that Samsung has showed it's hand a few days early! Read on to see what is in store for us!

A few days ago I reported that Verizon will not be releasing the GSII along with every other carrier in the United States. Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T will all be releasing versions at about the same time while Verizon will be left out of the party. However it seems that this phone might be too good to pass up. Samsung has announced a beefed up version of the GSII that is not only packing a 4G LTE radio but will also come with upgraded a dual core processor on board. The GSII will be shipping with a Samsung sourced 1.2GHz dualcore processor. This new version will be rocking a 1.5GHz dualcore chipset in addition to the speeds that LTE can deliver. A recent leak showed off a 4G LTE equipped GSII in Korea called the Celox, might this be the phone we speak of or could it be mysterious Samsung Stratosphere or just maybe the Nexus Prime??

The other big announcement is that the 8.9" Galaxy Tab is finally being announced and with LTE radio to boot!! Not only is the new 8" tab packing 4G but it also is going to be shipping with the 1.5GHz dualcore chipset. This tablet will slot in place very nicely between the 7" and 10" Galaxy Tabs and should be a shoo in for a Verizon release with the 4G LTE radio all on board. All that is left to do now is wait and see what Samsung has to say in the official announcement later this week. One this is for sure, this week is looking bright for Android fans!!!

Samsung Staying One Step Ahead of the Apple Patent Troll!!

I have been covering the ongoing Patent battle in Europe between Samsung and Apple here on our blog and today Apple got a major push. A judge in the Netherlands has ruled that Samsung as violated one of the patents that Apple is claiming, namely patent 2,059,868. This patent has to do with the photo management system and gallery scrolling. The judge has hereby banned sales of the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Ace phones. The good news in all of this madness is that the judge did not feel that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 violated any of the patents Apple claimed it did and the sales of this device will not be blocked. Now this sounds like the end of sales of the Galaxy phones right? Wrong! Unlike the ban in Germany the Netherlands court ruling gives Samsung a chance to respond. Sammy is going to keep selling phones just as fast as they have been and will simply push out a software update that will change the photo gallery scolling system just enough to stay ahead of the Apple Patent Troll. I am sure that Apple will come up with something else but with the Dutch judge declaring that a large number of their patent claims are invalid they will have to think up another plan for attack.

Samsung Celox is Real... told ya!

Celox is A Beast!
Well last week I reported on a certain leaked road map that included a whole slew of Android phones coming with model numbers and all. In response to the publication of said leaked list Samsung made a statement claiming the leak was a fake. Well that afternoon in conversations with some of the folks and on my google plus account gplus.to/MarvinFerrell I immediately responded saying the leaked list was real and after talking to a good and knowledgeable friend of mine it turned out the list was indeed real. So here we are with the GT-I9210 aka Celox and if you go HERE and check the aforementioned leaked road map you will clearly see that phone clear as day. What does that say for the rest of the phones on the list including the one I told you guys to watch the GT-I9250, well I'll let you put two and two together on that one for yourselves. Spec sheet below.

I'll of course keep you posted on this one for sure folks
