30 Million Samsung Galaxy S III Units Sold

Yesterday only it was found out that 3 million Galaxy Note 2 units have been sold in 37 days.And now with the Galaxy S III Samsung has reached another milestone.Samsung has just announced that it has sold 30 million units of the smartphone worldwide. The number includes the I9300 as well as carrier specific versions offered in specific markets such as the United States, Japan, and Korea and is spot on with earlier expectations.



The above number has been achieved in an impressively quick fashion – the first Samsung Galaxy S III units hit the shelves roughly five months ago. With the upcoming holiday shopping season right around the corner, coupled with the healthy drop of the handset’s price in some major markets, it is all but guaranteed that the number will increase even further.

Galaxy Note II Super Hit:3 Million Units Sold In A Month

                 Galaxy Note II was already destined to be a hit in this market ;it was the best phablet at the time it was released and it is still now.So the numbers were already expected by me.Samsung has sold this phablet 3 million units in just 37 days,impressive isn't it?

"The rapid Galaxy Note 2 sales have a meaning of not just creating a new category of smartphone, but also of popularizing the category." – says Samsung.
Impressive,Phablet!

The first Galaxy Note managed to sell just 2 million units four months after its premiere (way more than the initial expectations), so the Note II has reached its main aim i.e it has defeated  its predecessor.

Samsung Vs HTC Vs LG Vs Meizu Quad-Core Processor

Quad-Core Processors.The name itself makes it clear that we are going to be witness a stiff battle between our competitors.And who are these heavyweight champs you may ask?
              Well,those that will playing today are :

  • Samsung Galaxy S III     
  • HTC One X
  • LG Optimus G  
  • Meizu MX 4-Core
With great power comes great responsibility and these phones not only represent themselves but also their manufacturers. It's a battle of the chipsets too. Inside the Samsung Galaxy S III and Meizu MX Quad Core beats the same Exynos 4212 Quad chipset, while the HTC One X is powered by the Nvidia Tegra 3  and the beast LG Optimus G is powered by the S4 Pro Chipset.
                   So,without wasting further time lets start our battle!

1.Screen Size

           Even though this article is centered around the premise of comparing chipsets, the screen is almost as important - what would be the use of all that computing power if the screen is going to limit what you can do.  
The Samsung Galaxy S III ,HTC One X & LG Optimus G all have 4.7 -4.8 inch screens ,hence they are almost equal.However,Meizu MX 4-core has a 4 inch screen and I suppose that this will be an advantage for this phone.

2.Clock Speed

         The HTC One X is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor while the S III and the MX 4-core have  1.4 GHz  Exynos 4212 Quad chipset under their hoods.The Optimus G is powered by the 1.5 GHz Krait S4 Pro Chipset .

3.Benchmark Scores

i) Benchmark Pi(lower is better)
    Samsung Galaxy S III : 344
    HTC One X : 
    LG Optimus G : 285
    Meizu MX 4-Core : 362

ii)Linpack(Higher is Better)
    Samsung Galaxy S III : 177.1
    HTC One X: 160.9
    LG Optimus G : 608
    Meizu MX 4-Core : 189.1


iii)Quadrant(Higher is Better)
    Samsung Galaxy S III : 5365
    HTC One X : 5952
    LG Optimus G : 7439
    Meizu MX 4-Core: 5170


iv)Antutu (Higher is better)
    Samsung Galaxy S III : 10767
    HTC One X : 11633
    LG Optimus G :11226
    Meizu MX 4-Core: 11820

v)BrowserMark(Higher is better)

    Samsung Galaxy S III : 158953
    HTC One X : 140270
    LG Optimus G : 118126
    Meizu MX 4-Core: 158404

So as you can see from the benchmark results it is the LG Optimus G which stands out among the other smartphones.This is mainly because of the new S4 Pro chipset running inside the Optimus which is at present the best quad-core processor for phones on the planet.

Apple Apology To Samsung Makes Judges Angry


                                      Despite Apple's win against Samsung in the US, in the UK, Apple lost the case as the judge decided that Samsung did not copy the iPad in its tablets, and a couple of weeks ago the company from Cupertino was ordered to put out a notice on its website that would make it clear that Samsung did not copy.

                    What followed was quite funny though. The notice that ended up on the website contained more references to court decisions outside the case. Overall, the message was so diluted it felt like Apple played a joke on the UK judicial system.

Now, the U.K. Court of Appeal in London reacts and it is clearly unhappy with the “untrue” and “incorrect” notice Apple posted.

“I’m at a loss that a company such as Apple would do this,” Judge Robin Jacob said. “That is a plain breach of the order.”

The U.K. Court of Appeal ordered Apple to take down the statement within 24 hours and replace it with a new notice that would take into account the earlier incorrect comments.

Again, Apple requested 14 days to make those changes on its own website. That request was rejected. You can check out the original notice Apple posted on its web page below.

Samsung Brings Out Ativ Ads


                                       Only a day has passed since Windows phone 8 was launched and today we’re seeing Samsung push out its entire ATIV-branded product family in its latest ad.

               
                     That’s the ATIV Smart PC Pro tablet running full Windows 8, ATIV S Windows Phone launched at IFA and rarely seen ever since, and the ATIV TAB running the stripped-down version of Windows 8 for ARM-CPU-powered tablets, Windows RT.
