Since 2009, Samsung has earned the title of being the largest IT Company of the world by its revenues. The company is also the largest mobile manufacturer of the world, a title it snatched from Nokia who had held it for 14 years. The company is also dominating other key markets around the globe that include memory chips, television market and LCD panels. It is also powerful in the tablet computer market as it has released the Galaxy Tab based on the Android operating system.

What helped Samsung Electronics in becoming the largest vendor of mobile phones was its Galaxy line of smartphones. Amongst these phones, it was the Galaxy S III that broke sales records for the company. Termed as the iPhone killer, Samsung Galaxy S III became the best-selling smartphone of the world in quarter three of 2012 and thus overtook the iPhone 4S. According to the latest speculation, Samsung Electronics is working on the successor of Galaxy S III. Some new information has come to light regarding the Samsung Galaxy S 4 as it will be called.

According to the early rumors, codenamed Altius, the SamsungGalaxy S IV was expected to be launched in April by the South Korean giant. However, the fan website called SamMobile has made another announcement; as per the report, the device’s unveiling is going to take place on March 15th of 2013. On that date, Samsung Electronics is holding its special Mobile Unpacked event and that’s when it will make the announcement. The venue of the event hasn't been confirmed as yet. The blog has cited a trusted insider and states that its information is both confirmed and accurate.

Nevertheless, there has been official statement made by the South Korean company. But, as rumors of the new devices have started pouring in, it is expected that an announcement will be made soon by Samsung to put a rest to the rumors. The blog has stated that the device will be made available by early April. However, it will be the eastern countries from Europe that will get their hands first on the new device. At the end of February or at the beginning of March, Samsung Electronics is expected to send invites after the Mobile World Congress event.

The remaining parts of Asia and Europe will get the Galaxy S 4 by the end of April. However, people in Australia, United States and Africa will be able to get the device somewhere in May-June. This is mostly due to the scheduling needs and carrier testing of the devices done in these countries. The company has high expectations regarding the sales of the new Galaxy device as the anticipation is quite high after the success of the Galaxy S III. Samsung is aiming to sell around 10 million of these devices and plans to meet this target on a monthly basis.

LG Nexus 4 will be utilizing the most recent Google Operating System Android 4.2 which is also very well known with the name of Jelly Beans. Some users might not like to hear that LG Nexus 4 will not work with 4G-LTE Networks of Australia.

Looking at the stories that are unfolding over time about iPhone 5, iOS 6 and many other applications and features of the phone, it seems that something’s going wrong. Many people including the experts and iPhone users are asking – what are you doing iPhone 5? There’s no harm in expressing your disbelief in your beloved brand and product when it is not even coming close to what you expected of it. Recently, the iPhone 5 was launched and there were some mixed expectations from the users about iPhone 5. It could be safely said that the response was not as palpable about iPhone 5 from the users as it has been for its previous models.

However, the response wasn’t disappointing too so we can’t say that iPhone 5 was a fiasco. But there have been some recent issues and problems with iPhone 5, especially the applications that came along which have infused doubts in the minds of people who were saving money to buy this smart phone for months. People have become more knowledgeable than they used to be in the past because they can get any type of information on the internet at any hour of the day. Not only US and UK but all around the world people have become doubtful about the performance of iPhone 5 in the users.

First, there was of course not chance for Apple to be innovative with iPhone 5 because this gadget is itself an innovation and adding more features and specifications into it won’t count as innovation. Secondly, another problem came up with the Apple maps applications which really became a source of embarrassment for the company. Now we have another news unfolding that’s making matters worse for Apple. This new problem is the purple flare that is showing in most of the pictures taken with iPhone 5. The most appalling part of all the news is that Apple is admitting whatever is being brought up.

Imagine Apple refusing to accept the point raised about the outburst of purple light in the photographs taken from the iPhone, the story could have been different in that scenario. However, there was no way Apple could refuse to accept this “another bad news” because within a few days of purchasing, millions of users from around the world have raised the same question. Many blogs have had users uploading pictures from iPhone 4S and 5 side by side for better comparison. The glare in color purple is obvious in photos taken from iPhone 5.

The Sapphire crystal camera lens is being held responsible for this problem and many users have even talked to the support team of Apple regarding the issue. It seems that Apple does not have a specific and satisfying answer to the question from its users but it will surely add another question mark to the mammoth image of Apple all around the world. Apple iPhone 5 hasn’t even been around for more than 2 months right now and there are already many stories about its poor performance in many areas. Let’s see if there’s a silver lining in this cloud.

Almost one year back Samsung released a device which has been dubbed by many as ‘Phablet’ Galaxy Note. This nickname has been given to the device due to its characteristics which resembles it to a tablet while being a phone. Galaxy Note came with a stylus and a larger, wider screen that made it look like a tablet. It was intended towards the users who are looking for a tablet as well as a phone in a similar device. It caters the needs of both the professional as well as personal users in a single go.

Nearly 10 months after releasing Note, Samsung is back with its sequel device, the Galaxy Note II. Galaxy Note marked immense sales and profit for Samsung. People loved it and embraced the unique and innovative idea warmly. Now it’s the time to go one step ahead with Note II.

Following the huge success of Note, there is a lot of optimism among the users prior to the release of its successor. Galaxy Note II will be the first device to be released with Android OS 4.1 Jelly Bean. Currently no other device comes with Jelly Bean preloaded. However, the option of upgrade is there in most of the high end android devices.

If we look at the design of Note II, one can say that it resembles Galaxy S III. However the screen size is bigger. The new Note II will feature a 5.5 inch super AMOLED screen which will boast 16 million colors and 720 x 1280 pixels resolution. The capacitive touchscreen with multi touch functionality will come with the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 2. The enormous screen size of Note II offers a two in one functionality of a smartphone as well as a tablet.

Galaxy Note II will also include a stylus as with the Note which they call it the S pen. However this time it will be slightly thicker and longer to go with the increased screen size. Despite being a Phablet, Samsung have managed well to make it as slim as possible with just a thickness of 9.4 mm. It also features superb shooting capabilities with 8 MP rear camera with a complementary LED flash and autofocus. The camera easily supports 1080p of full HD video shooting. A secondary front facing camera of 2 MP will do an excellent job for video calling. Skype would be a joy with this device.

AS far as the processing power is concerned the Note II has a very strong 1.6 Ghz quadcore A9 Cortex processor that comes with a supportive Exynos 4 Quad chipset. This is one of the most powerful processors that we have seen on any android device so far. The memory of Note II consists of 2 GB of fixed RAB and an option between 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage. That’s not all, you can still expand the memory of your Note II device via memory card.

To add the pompous, exquisite and very impressive list of features the Samsung Galaxy Note II will also showcase some very exciting features such as Air View, Accelerometer, Barometer, Gyroscope, Proximity sensors and a built-in Compass.
