Not many of you know that the brand new Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone comes with a barometer… and not many of you will be impressed by that feature. Well, thanks to Dan Morrill, an Android engineer we now have a good idea of why Google and Samsung included this extra sensor on the device. The purpose here is to get better GPS positioning and...
Samsung is probably rejoicing that it’s now the number one smartphone seller in the world after a brilliant Q3, but the South Korean giant hasn’t forgotten its major pain in the behind: Apple. Thus, they’re working on a way to keep the Cupertino giant away from their funds and to avoid settling patent beefs in court. At the AsiaD...
After Samsung Galaxy Nexus was announced yesterday in Hong Kong, together with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, it’s now time for the prices to leak. The first to come is one from Australia, courtesy of retailer Mobicity, that will sell the handset for $829.

The folks of Engadget managed to have some quality time with the freshly announced Samsung Galaxy Nexus, that took off today in Hong Kong.

The iPhone 4S may outperform Galaxy S II in all benchmarks out there, but does it face a drop from up high? That’s what a recent set of test tried to find out… The new iPhone and the Galaxy S II were dropped from the waist, then from the head and then on the screen to see which is tougher. Of course, the iPhone 4S failed and cracked all...

With the Samsung intention of removing the iPhone 4S from shelves in Europe on account of the patent breach it does, the war with Apple is waging stronger than ever. Apparently, their idea for injunction has failed in Europe, but the duel continues in Japan and Australia, where Samsung still has hopes to ban the new product. Holland wouldn’t...
Samsung’s Galaxy S series is proving to be a huge hit and now we’ve got the number to make such claims: combined, the Galaxy S II and the first Galaxy S sold 30 million units. Last year alone the first Galaxy S sold 10 million units and it only took its follow-up a bunch of months to pass its record. Right now, 66% of the 30 million are...
