Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to Debut at IFA 2012 in August? (Rumor)

Posted: 06 Jul 2012 03:03 PM PDT


While June was a month filled with gadget announcements, July is seen most as a month of announcements and now August is starting to sound nice as well. Why? Because, apparently the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will debut next month, during IFA 2012 in Germany. Of course, this is a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.

You’ve probably heard the rumors about the Galaxy Note 2, saying it should have a quad core Exynos 4 chipset, a 5.5 inch display and arrive this fall. Now, the new rumors say the device will use an unbreakable pan display, increase the diagonal to 5.5 inches and up the camera to 12 or 13 megapixels. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is also in the mix and the stylus as well, probably with upgrade software and special functions. The CPU will be the most important aspect here, since a quad core Exynos on such a huge diagonal would make this phablet something unique.

With HTC supposedly working on a quad core One XXL model, there’s extra incentive for Samsung to debut this new Note earlier. Which one do you think will rule the market in the coming months?

Amazon Smartphone Supposed to Be an iPhone Rival, With Android on Board

Posted: 06 Jul 2012 01:53 PM PDT


Famous Chinese company Foxconn is rumored to be working with Amazon on a new smartphone, the Amazon Phone that people have been speculating about for a year now. The company is also supposed to be preparing 3-4 new tablets, so they have a lot of plans for the near future.

Manufacturers in the phone biz shipped 398.4 million smartphones and other mobile devices in the first quarter of the year, according to IDC, so it’s easy to understand why Amazon wants a slice of that. Amazon must do a bit of shopping before releasing this product, since it has to buy some wireless patents to make sure it won’t have to deal with the likes of Apple suing them. The creator of the Kindle Fire increased its patent portofolio by hiring Matt Gordon, former senior director of acquisitions at Intellectual Ventures Managements LLC.

This company owns more that 35,000 intellectual property assets and Gordon will handle patent investments and acquisitions at Amazon. Expectations for the smartphone are great and I predict a dual core handset with a HD or qHD display, thin case, decent battery, 5MP camera, good battery , customized Android, focused on Amazon’s services and maybe NFC + LTE. Also, the price should be around $200 or so…
