Profile Leak Hint at Sprint Version of Samsung Galaxy S3

May 16, 2012 By

Following the announcement by Samsung that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be released into the US market by June, it did not reveal which mobile service provider the device will be offered in. It would likely be offered by all four major mobile service providers in the United States although this remains uncertain until an official announcement is made by the South Korean company and the mobile service providers that will offer the Samsung Galaxy S3.

However it appears that the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 may have emerged basing on a user agent profile that was spotted recently. The device with the model number SPH-L710 is thought to be the Samsung Galaxy S3 of Sprint (NYSE:S).

The specifications listed on the user agent profile of the SPH-t10 shows that it will feature a screen with a resolution of 1280 by 720, 16GB internal storage, a microSD memory card slot and the Android 4.0 OS. The device will reportedly feature the dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, which will also be featured on the Samsung Galaxy S3.

A number of the specifications that were listed for the SPH-L710 are consistent with the features of the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S3. These features include the resolution of the display, the internal storage of the device and the operating system.

Reports of the possible use of a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor for the US version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 had emerged earlier. This device will reportedly use this particular processor instead of the quad-core Exynos 4412 processor of Samsung. However these reports on the possible Samsung Galaxy S3 offering of Sprint will remain to be speculation until an official announcement is made by mobile service provider or by Samsung.

If these reports will prove to be accurate, the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be the fourth LTE-enabled smartphone on the lineup of Sprint following earlier devices including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and the LG Viper.

Tizen Devices to Utilize Hardware of Samsung Galaxy S3

May 16, 2012 By

The official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 during the past days has finally revealed the features and specs of the latest smartphone. With this, rumors that have been running for quite awhile about what the future Samsung flagship device may possibly have are put to rest. It is reported that the hardware of the Samsung Galaxy S3 may be utilized in Windows Phone 8 and Tizen devices.

The good news about this is that it will provide a four core Exynos processor, a bigger screen and wireless charging. However, it does not include the 12 MP camera, 1080p display and 2 GB RAM. It can be assumed that the next generation hardware will be present in the future release of smartphones with the Galaxy brand such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the different types of the Samsung Galaxy S3 that will soon be rolling out in the United States. But, there is also a possibility that the hardware will go cross platform.

In the latter parts of the previous month, rumors said that Samsung Windows Phone 8 device will have the same hardware as the Galaxy S3. Currently, the people from ITProPortal claim that there is also a possibility that a similar hardware will be utilized for the platform of Tizen.

Those who are not familiar with the Tizen operating system should know that its platform combines together the Maemo of Nokia, the Bada of Samsung and the Moblin of Samsung. The image of the prototype device is already out in the web and hints at the high probability that it will soon be out in the market.

While the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 stirred up varying reactions because of its external style and design, it has a solid and strong hardware that will prove to be the perfect base for the Tizen smartphone's launch.

More Clues to Early Release of Mac OS X Mountain Lion

May 14, 2012 By

Some hints were reportedly noted by industry watchers which suggest an early release of the Mac OS X Mountain Lion of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) into the market. According to anonymous sources, the European division of Apple is training new employees to answer questions about the upcoming Mac OS X Mountain Lion. The company normally limits its training windows to prevent any leaks on some unrevealed features of its products.

With the hiring and training of new employees, Apple may be preparing to launch the Mac OS X Mountain Lion during the Worldwide Developers Conference. The WWDC is scheduled to be held on June 11 in San Francisco.

The release of the developer previews for the upcoming operating system of Apple also offered more clues about the possible early release of the Mac OS X Mountain Lion. The developer previews for the OS were released earlier than the developer previews of the previous version of the OS.

Apple Inc

The developer previews of the Mac OS X Mountain Lion were released on February 16, March 16 and April 18. Apple is also expected to release a gold master build for the Mac OS X Mountain Lion before it will be officially released into the market.

With the current schedule of the developers preview of the Mac OS X Mountain Lion, industry watchers expect the OS to be released into the market by June 25 as the gold master build may be released by the company by June 6.

Aside from the Mac OS X Mountain Lion, the company is also expected to introduce models of the iMac, MacBook Pro and the MacBook Air within the quarter. The next quarter may also see the release of products using the Ivy Bridge processors of Intel.

The quad-core Ivy Bridge processors are already available to manufacturers while the dual-core versions will be released soon. If the new hardware will be unveiled during the WWDC, it will be advantageous if it will come with the Mac OS X Mountain Lion since it will minimize any complaints from customers who will purchase the device.

Even as hints point to an early release for the Mac OS X Mountain Lion, Apple had earlier indicated that the new OS will be delivered near the end of summer.

Uncertainties on iPhone 5 Features

May 14, 2012 By

The latest reports about the upcoming iPhone 5 do not appear to give any indications on the final screen size of the device. It also remains uncertain if the upcoming version of the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone will come with a metal back. However reports have given indications that the supposed iPhone 5 be launched in October of this year.

As in previous models of the device, reports on the possible features of the device have remained uncertain. Oftentimes the reports would not correspond to the actual device once it enters the market. Due to this industry watchers are taking each report on the upcoming iPhone 5 with a grain of salt.

The latest reports have only revealed that the company may be undecided on the features of the upcoming version of the iPhone. It remains uncertain if the iPhone 5 will feature a home button, a metal back or if its screen ratio will be 16:9.

The only consistent information that has been hinted in the reports was the possibility of an October launch of the upcoming iPhone 5. The supposed launch schedule of the upcoming device is most likely on the calendars of Apple enthusiasts since it is the only information that appears to remain constant in the reports about the iPhone 5.

In addition to these reports that have not ascertained the possible features of the upcoming device, the company is currently working on acquiring the rights to the iPhone5.com domain. Reports have indicated that the home page of the domain in question reportedly has an advertisement for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Reports have also given indications that Apple may also unveil the iPhone 5 together with another device that has caught the attention of industry watcher, the iPad mini.

All of these uncertainties have only resulted to a good amount of confusion on what the upcoming iPhone 5 will offer to consumers and until the device is finally released by the company, these reports should be taken with a grain of salt.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 May Feature Dual-Core Processor

May 14, 2012 By

As the official launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S3 was announced, industry watchers are now focusing on the possible release date of the latest smartphone offering of Samsung in North American market, particularly in the United States. Initial reports have given indications that Verizon (NYSE:VZ) will have a limited exclusivity on the release of the Samsung Galaxy S3 in the US market.

T-Mobile was also expected to offer its own version of the device after reports revealed that  the Verizon model will feature the dual-core Snapdragon S3 chip and not the quad-core Exynos processor which is being offered in the European version of the device. Reports have also hinted that Sprint (NYSE:S) will also be offering its own version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII in the US market.

Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII May Feature Dual-Core Processor

Samsung Galaxy S3

According to reports, the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be similar to the Verizon version of the device. The device that Sprint will be offering will feature a dual-core Snapdragon processor. It appears that the Sprint and Verizon version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII share similar limitations which resulted to a similar processor for both versions of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 of Sprint and Verizon cannot handle a quad-core Exynos chip and a 4G LTE network. This situation is similar to that of the HTC One X which feature a Tegra 3 quad-core processor. The device was given a dual-core processor from Qualcomm in order for the device to be used on the network of AT&T.

Aside from using a different processor, the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII is reportedly similar to the version that will be available in the European market.

However it appears that the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy SIII may only have an internal storage of 16GB although this is expandable through a microSD memory card slot.

Nokia Lumia 900 Named Best Smartphone Ever by Siri

May 13, 2012 By

Although Siri may have given some interesting answers to questions asked by users of the virtual personal assistant of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) since it reportedly indicated that the Nokia Lumia 900 is the best smartphone in the market. According to earlier reports, the Nokia Lumia 900 was named as the best smartphone by Siri following an inquiry made on the virtual personal assistant on the iPhone 4S. This rather amusing answer has resulted to comments from Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nokia (NYSE:NOK) enthusiasts around the world.

The virtual personal assistant does not only name the Nokia Lumia 900 as the best smartphone, it also indicates that the cyan color option of the latest smartphone offering of Nokia as the best among the different color options for the device. Despite the rather odd answer by the service offered by Apple to iPhone 4S users, the answer is quite sensible according to some industry watchers. Naming the Nokia Lumia 900 is actually based on the results taken from Wolfram Alpha, which is based on the average reviews made by users across the net.

The user satisfaction for the Nokia Lumia 900 in the US market is rather high, which resulted to the recommendation of the smartphone as the best smartphone ever.

The result also reflects some reviews of a number of websites which have given the Nokia Lumia 900 a rather high rating. Some industry watchers have even indicated that the latest smartphone offering of Nokia was their preferred Windows Phone-powered device in the market.

However it appears that the result on inquiry may not be the same for all users since reports have also indicated that some results in other parts of the United States show results from Yelp. Despite this, the fact that the Nokia Lumia 900 came out in the Siri inquiry is something that both Microsoft and Nokia users will likely take pride in.

Sprint to Improve Network for iPhone 5

May 12, 2012 By

Prior to the highly anticipated reveal of two well known LTE handsets, Sprint opens up its plan to improve its networks saying that it will enhance its 3G networks and stabilize its future LTE network strategically. It is very much possible that Sprint will offer the Galaxy S3 of Samsung and the upcoming iPhone 5 of Apple.

However, prior to the launches, it recently presented the scheduled upgrade of its network for the main purpose of improving the present performance and coverage of its 3G network as well as to maximize its future LTE network's potential.

PC Magazine said that Sprint recently presented its plan at the CTIA event. With that, it told the audience that it will launch an improved 3G network, a strong connectivity for its LTE 4G network and an enhanced push-to-talk quality.

Sprint's network competitors offer 3G and LTE with tiered data plans. Arguably, the smartphone data plans of Sprint can rival Verizon and AT&T if only it is stable enough to be able to support to a huge amount of subscribers who surf the web simultaneously.

Apparently, Sprint was faced with complaints last year regarding the iPhone 4S' weak 3G connection. Currently, it appears that the third biggest wireless carrier has already learned its lesson.

At present, Sprint's offer of the iPhone 4 and 4S comes with unlimited data to let customers enjoy internet connection 24/7 for only one data fee each month. The unlimited data plans of Sprint are also offered for Android-powered smartphones.

According to Bob Azzi, the Senior VP of the carrier, the company is currently concentrating on its subscribers and it is confident that it will be a really competitive network.

In case Sprint will indeed offer the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S3, then there is a high possibility that the future upgrade of its network is a good move because it will let them compete with Verizon Wireless and AT&T which are the top two carriers in the U.S. However, Sprint will only launch the LTE in six cities and it has not announced anything yet regarding other areas.

Rumors say that the iPhone 5 will be Apple's first LTE phone while the Galaxy S3 of Samsung just like the Galaxy Nexus is anticipated to have LTE support with the aid of the new Krait CPU of Qualcomm which is the Snapdragon S4.

T-Mobile to Possibly Offer the iPhone 5 This Year

May 11, 2012 By

Most people are aware that T-Mobile is the only one out of the four big carriers in the United States that do not have the iPhone in its line of smartphone offerings for its customers. On the other hand, the other three large carriers in the United States which are AT&T, Sprint Nextel Corporation and Verizon Wireless have been offering the flagship handset of Apple for quite a long time.

Because of this, T-Mobile, in one way or another, has fallen behind the other top carriers because the iPhone is not available on its network. T-Mobile may try to get even with its network competitors as reports say that it is partnering with Nokia-Siemens and Ericsson this year to make their very own 4G LTE network which will be the beginning of its campaign to bring in the new iPhone as part of its handset offers.

The upcoming iPhone which may be possibly called the iPhone 5 or the new iPhone has been speculated to be the first handset of Apple with LTE support. LTE is considered Internet connectivity's leading standard where it is available. The report says that AT&T will strengthen its frequency band and then fully go into setting up its LTE network.

Is it really true that T-Mobile will be America's fourth carrier to have the iPhone in its offering? Many are hoping that it will be true since T-Mobile is seemingly having problems with the frequency band of the Advanced Wireless Services. The AWS is a frequency band of 1700/2100 MHz that is utilized for the 3G network of T-Mobile.

The carrier needs to make adjustments to its AWS so that it can maximize the new iPhone that is expected to feature 4G LTE capabilities. With this, there is a possibility that in case T-Mobile will offer the iPhone 5, it will only be a 3G handset at the beginning. The network carrier itself has expressed that the earliest time that it can fully support LTE is on 2013.
