  Samsung Galaxy S4 has landed itself in deep waters as we hear owners of the device grumble about certain issues that aren’t going well with the smartphone. Touted as being the best-selling Android smartphone, the Galaxy S4 is expected to hit the milestone of 10 million sales all over the world. But will the device achieve it or would Apple iPhone 6 take advantage of the issue?  Following sales, the device is hit with a list of complains, the latest being with its sound quality. Though the Galaxy S4 looks attractive enough to entice users to bag it, these complaints from its owners make us wonder whether it is worth the upgrade from Samsung’s Galaxy S3.          For someone who wants to be a proud owner of Samsung’s flagship device, it is important to think about all the pros and cons.

Can the Low Cost Nokia Asha 501 Scare Away Apple and Samsung?

Smartphones are getting cheaper, as Nokia has demonstrated by launching its $99 smartphone, the Asha 501. Aimed entirely at capturing the potential emerging markets of South America, Africa and Asia, we wonder if it could put a dent in the growth of Google’s Android smartphones and Samsung’s range. The former world leader in mobile phones has to come up with an extremely aggressive strategy to pull back customers away from Samsung, and the $40 billion emerging markets is a great start. 22 percent of India’s mobile phone market is cornered by Samsung presently, with phones starting at $110, so the $99 Nokia Asha 501 has immense potential. But it also has to contend with local company Micromax which has feature-rich phones as cheap as $65. And Apple is also rumored to be working on making cheaper iPhones, which could make life harder for Nokia and Samsung. Until Apple officially announces [+more]

With Its Minuscule Battery Samsung Galaxy S4 may not Stand the Threat of HTC One

Samsung-Galaxy-S-4

If it was Microsoft that faced severe criticism for shipping its Surface Pro and Surface RT tablets with very little usable storage, now it’s time for Samsung to face the music. The 16 GB model of the Galaxy S4 has only about 8.82 GB of space that can be used – that’s just about half of the internal storage provided! Now we always knew that we wouldn’t get as much space as companies advertize, but this one’s just too less. So, in case you’re gearing up to buy the Galaxy S4, make sure you invest in a good microSD card as well. All that space is being used up by the Android OS, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, inbuilt apps and apps put in by the carriers themselves. What makes matters worse for T-Mobile users is that they can only get the 16 GB model on their networks – the 32 GB [+more]

It was indeed true when someone said that with every passing year, technology is getting smaller and cheaper. If it was smartphones and tablets that caught our fancy until last year, 2013 looks all set to take the trend from our palms and onto our wrists with the advent of smartwatches. We’d first heard of Apple coming out with an iWatch, a wristwatch that could do everything that the iPhone could do, except in a smaller package. Not to be too left behind, then came the archrival Samsung announcing its ambitious project in the similar segment. In addition, we’ve been hearing rumors about LG and Google too busy working on their versions of the smartwatch. Oh, and did we mention that Microsoft too is making an Xbox watch? Apple’s iWatch is expected to feature a curved glass surface with fingerprint scanning and possibly even Apple’s very own radio service. Maybe [+more]

Windows 8 Stiffles Microsoft’s Ambition To Arrive In The Mobile Market– Will The Windows Blue Bring In Renaissance Amid Bleakness?

Microsoft is almost cushioned into a corner. Its tryst with Windows 8 has taken  toll on its popularity. At a time when operating systems are ruling the roost, Microsoft’s story is scaling the lower heights of the success graph. What’s more,  Windows 8 is being blamed for the debacle! Experts are opining that the Windows 8  did not match the anticipation. What is being labeled the biggest failure from the stable could only work magic the other way round– once we get to hear something from Microsoft. This bad news punches out ambition the makers had while also bringing a lot of misery for the PC segment.  When Microsoft is willing to match shoulders with the likes of Samsung and LG, the Windows 8 debacle will only lead to repercussions never imagined. The last resort in such a scenario remains that Windows 8 could deliver a baby for erasing out [+more]

A panther is on the prowl and is ready to pounce on the Samsung Galaxy S4 in three days from now. The divine number 3 indeed has taken on significance as the countdown to the Pantech Vega begins.   Pantech Vega Iron is set to rule the smartphone territory with an iron hand. Slated to be a sleek model that follows Samsung’s color scheme of the classic black and white picks, the Vega Iron might be laced with aluminum sheen. With a toned bezel, the rendition reminds me of Samsung’s older kids—the Galaxy Pop and the Galaxy Young.   With a 5-inch screen purported to breathe life into the display, the Pantech is anticipated to be tough competition for reigning king Samsung Galaxy range.  With a 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor clubbed with 2 GB RAM, Vega looks to turn the tide in favor of rising stars against the [+more]

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Is Set To Pack A Punch With All Metal Body, Samsung Galaxy S4 And HTC One May Wither With Its Bloom

As we all get more and more eager by the day to get our hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but we’ve just heard some rumors that have made us even more excited to get a sneak peek into this device. If these rumors are true, then Samsung’s planning to put an all-metal body on the Galaxy Note 3 instead of its regular plastic body. SamMobile’s recent reports suggest that Samsung’s taken the flak it received for its most recent launch, the Galaxy S4, for its plastic body. It’s also worried about the positive response its competitor HTC One has received for its good looks, and so is planning a much more premium looking design for its upcoming Galaxy Note 3. The reports also talk about how the Galaxy S4 with a metal body was more popular, but Samsung decided to go with the plastic design since it was [+more]

We are already having butterflies over the Samsung Galaxy S4 that laces its pre-landing buzz with space and spunk enough to steal my sleep away. Here is a no-holds-bar peek into the damsel all decked to arrive with sheen and in style. The promotion for the Galaxy S4 has outclassed it sleek looks, by our opinion. The makers are promising lightning fast upgrades on the Android OS for the Galaxy S4. As far as the pricing tale and the timeline for availability is concerned, we failed to get much insight. However, knowing that this could be the first smarty with IR blaster added to the breezy Air View spec, a winner is surely sharpening swords to push Samsung way above all others—once again. The Multi Window capability harking back to the Note 10.1 and Note 2 also cozies up in the Galaxy S4. Backed with sturdy quad core Snapdragon processor [+more]

Doom Of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Is Near: Samsung Sky Rides On The Galaxy Mega 6.8 And Galaxy Mega 5.8

Galaxy-Note-2-4300

Samsung is riding high on Could Nine. With its latest tryst with success post-launch of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3, this is well justified. The makers have always stressed that the fabulous phablets will soon be available round the globe. But wait—recent news barely point to such a promise being kept! The UK market might well miss the Galaxy Mega 5.8 phablet. The 6.3-inch beast could arrive in May though. Since Samsung is focusing on wider waist on its smartphone wares, the 6.3 would be a wow-er option against the Galaxy Mega 5.8. Samsung’s strategy for wider screen started with the Galaxy S4 and the anticipated Galaxy Note 3. JK Shin, CEO and Head of IT and Mobile Business, Samsung Electronics, “We are aware of a great potential in the bigger screen for extensive viewing multimedia, web browsing, and more. We are excited to provide another [+more]
