A poll among analysts, conducted by Reuters, claimed that Samsung has sold 50 million smartphones during the second quarter of 2012 (April to June) and the company will sell the highest volume of devices from any single manufacturer. Apple, according to the same poll, has sold over 30 million iPhones.
The Holy Grail of smartphones, the iPhone, is sure keeping the rumor mills busy with leaks after leaks and iFans, it seems, cannot get enough of the Apple delirium. Close on the heels of the Kitguru iPhone 5 photo leak on July 12, comes yet another photo leak - this time by Taiwan-based blog Apple.pro. The leaked photographs showcase a device with a white front panel (the supposed iPhone 5), which is overall similar looking to the iPhone 4/4S with no marked design changes.
AT&T's website has the Nokia Lumia 900 with a slashed price of $49, around 50 percent off the original $100 price. Speculation was rife, claiming that Nokia is cutting the price to stimulate sales ahead of the Windows Phone 8 launch, which will not support the device. Nokia, however, pooh-poohs the claim and insists that the pricing is "normal strategy".
Sprint users owning HTC Evo 3D or the Evo Design 4G have a bit of good news to look forward to. Reports suggest that the carrier is working towards bringing the latest Android platform, the Ice Cream Sandwich, to the two HTC smartphones.
Two of the most powerful smartphones - Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X - are grabbing the spotlight in the smartphone market now. These giants are fully loaded with an array of features that makes them a choice of many.
T-Mobile has just confirmed on Tuesday, July 17, that the 5.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone/tablet will be joining its network in the coming weeks. The carrier confirmed this with a post on Twitter at first, followed by a full statement and press release. There are not many details to go on, but those hoping for an upgraded processor can rule that out now.
The rumors from the grapevine suggest that the iOS giant, Apple, has decided to pre-release its new iPhone-aka-iPhone 5, much earlier than the announced date. It seems that Apple cannot stand the hullabaloo surrounding the Galaxy S3 and, therefore, in a bid to curb S3's current market monopoly intends on pre-launching the much-awaited iPhone 5.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is available and, despite being launched May 29, has sold 6.5 million units in just over a month. The device is estimated to sell 15 million units in the third quarter, consequently breaking sales records of previous Galaxy S devices. Its predecessor, the Galaxy S2 has sold 20 million units.
AT&T had once claimed that the launch of the Nokia Lumia 900 was its biggest and the device was available for just under $100. With the S3 and iPhone 4 S breathing down its neck, AT&T has gone a step further and in an unprecedented move slashed the price of the Nokia Lumia 900 by half to a mere $49!
The HTC Desire HD owner has awaited an Android 4.0 update for a while now. The update may just be akin to waiting for Godot and the Desire HD will have to do without its share of the Ice Cream Sandwich as recent reports indicate that HTC has axed the Android 4.0 ICS update.
Another week, another rumor revolving around Apple's highly anticipated next-generation iPhone, presumably called the iPhone 5. According to the newest reports, Apple’s new smartphone has already entered the production phase, will sport some design changes, including the addition of glass to the handset's "uni-body" backplate, and will arrive as soon as August.
Leaked earlier as Motorola Dinara or the Atrix 3, the Atrix HD is finally on sales at AT&T. It is priced at $99 with a two-year contract with the carrier. The price is decent for a high-end smartphone, especially at its release time. However, in case you are looking for a bargain, Best Buy is offering the smartphone with a similar contract for $49.
