Gartner: mobile phone sales fell two percent last quarter, Samsung confirmed as numero uno

Gartner’s latest dispatch reveals a wobbly global trade in mobile phones. Although our love of smartphones continued to blossom, with sales of that subcategory up nearly 45 percent, it wasn’t enough to stave off a two percent overall decline compared to the same quarter in 2011. A total of 419.1 million handsets were sold, representing the first hiccup after nearly three years of growth and leading analysts to point fingers at a slow down in the Asia / Pacific region as well as a lack of product launches at the start of the year. Meanwhile, these figures also confirm what was already gleaned from IDC’s shipments data: Samsung has knocked Nokia off its 14-year-old perch to become the padrone of the mobile phone market, with a cut of over 20 percent. It also replaced Apple as the number one smartphone vendor, claiming ownership of almost half of that segment. Damn, it feels good to be a pebble.

Not willing to give up your old dumbphone, but still need something to feed your Android addiction? You’re in luck: Samsung’s serving up two devices today rocking Google’s dessert themed OS, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and the Galaxy Player 4.2. Sammy’s latest slate rings in at $ 400, buying 16GB of internal memory (expandable to 32GB via microSD), a 1GHz dual-core processor and a serving of Ice Cream Sandwich. The Galaxy Player 4.2, on the other hand, can be found munching Gingerbread for a mere $ 200. If you’re looking for a new Galaxy that makes phone calls, however, you’ll have to wait for the Galaxy S III.

Brits left unaffected by last month’s US launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 can now get in on the Ice Cream Sandwich action: the silver version of the tablet recently landed at Carphone Warehouse in the UK, and the white model is reportedly coming on May 18th. The retailer is offering the 8GB, WiFi-only flavor for £199. Though the Tab 2 7.0 didn’t top the charts when it crossed our reviewer’s desk, its solid performance and decent battery life make it one of the best value-priced Android 4.0 slates out there. Click through to the source link to reserve this 7-incher, but if it’s the silver model you’re after, it looks like you’ll have to pick up the phone to make the purchase (at least for now).

Samsung Focus 2 for AT&T hands-on at CTIA 2012 (update: video)
Posted by Gsurface
on May 7, 2012
No comments
It’s the first night of action at CTIA Wireless 2012, and we’re not wasting any time finding the best of what New Orleans has to offer. To start things off properly, we got some time with the Samsung Focus 2, announced by AT&T earlier this morning as the latest addition to the network’s healthy Windows Phone lineup. Of course, the phone’s no stranger to being in front of the cameras — this is just the first time it’s occurred without any shroud of secrecy surrounding it. So what kind of specs come with the Focus 2? The $ 50 handset, due out on May 20th, offers a 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA display, a 1.4GHz CPU with unspecified RAM, 5MP rear-facing camera capable of recording 720p HD video, a VGA cam on the front and LTE connectivity.
The Focus 2, without a doubt, feels completely tiny in our hands when compared to Nokia and HTC’s latest Windows Phone entries. And at 4.3 ounces, it’s incredibly light as well — sadly, the device’s 11.98mm thickness was a slight disappointment for us. Aside from the inclusion of LTE and a 1,750mAh user-removable battery, we’re not quite sure the reasoning behind it. With that said, anything with a display smaller than 4.3 inches these days seems immensely easy to grip, regardless. When handling the phone, we couldn’t help but think of the similarly-designed Galaxy Blaze 4G, as the two devices appear to have come from the same mold.
Overall, this isn’t a device meant for power users, and it faces some heavy competition against the Nokia Lumia 900 in price point (though the Focus 2 is slightly less expensive than the Lumia’s normal subsidized cost). But for anyone who enjoys a Windows Phone with a smaller display and was disappointed in the lack of LTE connectivity on the Focus Flash, this will be the ideal handset for you. If your curiosity is getting the best of you, go below to see the full gallery.
Update: Hit the break for our hands-on video.

Financial maven and maker of beautiful graphs Horace Deidu has found that between the top eight mobile phone vendors, Apple and Samsung share 99 percent of the total spoils. Of RIM, LG, Sony (Ericsson), Motorola, Nokia and HTC, only the latter made a profit — claiming that left over one percent. The remaining six all recorded losses for the quarter, Mr. Deidu adding that several of those companies are carrying feature phone businesses that they should shed before they become an albatross around their neck.

Samsung: The Death Of The Spec Gives Way To The Birth Of The Human Touch

If we have reached the Death of the Spec, then what Samsung wanted to introduce us to today was nothing short of the birth of the human touch. In the presentation launching the Galaxy S III, the first full half hour was very light on specs, with mention of only one — the size of the screen (4.8″-huge).
Instead, what we got was long on references to intuitive design, with lots of non-tech buzzwords: “nature,” “organic,” and so on. The Galaxy S III is “really designed for humans” the company said today, again and again.

Samsung teases Series 9 Ivy Bridge Ultrabook, leaves availability in the ether

Samsung’s latest Series 9 Ultrabook is certainly a beautiful piece of engineering, but really, what’s the fun in purchasing a new laptop with yesterday’s internals? Fortunately, users won’t need to make that compromise, as the company has now outed a refreshed version of the computer that’s complete with Ivy Bridge internals. The move follows Samsung’s recent reveal of the Series 7 Gamer laptop, but as you’d expect, components in the Series 9 are geared more toward efficiency than performance. At its heart, you’ll find a dual-core 1.7GHz Core i5 3317U CPU (which has yet to be announced), Intel HD Graphics 4000 and the HM75 Express chipset. While its internal storage remains the same, with a 128GB SSD, its memory has received a pleasant bump up to 8GB. No word yet on pricing or availability, but for those who want to own the very latest, we invite you to stay tuned.

According to Foss Patents, May 21st and 22nd have been circled on the calendar of a certain San Francisco courthouse, where Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero will attempt to arbitrate in a calm, soothing voice for two days straight. Presenting himself as a confidant who sits outside of the main litigation being conducted in San Jose, Spero has already asked both parties to open up and provide “candid” statements about the strengths and weaknesses of their own cases, as a first step towards identifying areas of compromise. Fortunately, he still has a few weeks in which to devise further cunning plans.

Samsung May Have Just Become The King Of Mobile Handsets, While S&P Downgrades Nokia To Junk
Posted by Gsurface

Samsung has been, for years, slowly approaching Nokia as the world’s biggest handset maker, and today looks like the day the crown has been passed: As of last quarter, Strategy Analytics noted that Samsung shipped the most mobile devices of any single manufacturer world-wide, also taking pole position in smartphones. At the same time, Nokia not only slipped in those rankings but it also got another slap in the face, as Standard & Poor’s, the credit-rating agency, downgraded Nokia to “junk” status.
The news comes on the same day that Samsung presented its Q1 earnings, in which the Korean company reported revenues of 45 trillion won ($ 40 billion) for the three months that ended March 31 — citing strong results in the division that includes mobile devices, with especially “brisk sales” of its GALAXY S II smartphone and newer Galaxy Note device.

Looking for something a bit more solid than a third-party benchmark?

Samsung boasts that the new 32nm quad-core processor flaunts twice the processing power over its predecessor, thanks to its High-k Metal Gate (HKMG) low-power technology. The net energy savings? About 20-percent. “The application processor is a crucial element in providing our customers with a PC-like experience on mobile devices,” explains Hankil Yoon, Senior VP of Product Strategy Team at Samsung, “Samsung’s next Galaxy device, which will be officially announced soon, offers uncompromised performance and ground breaking multi-tasking features, thanks to Exynos 4 Quad’s powerful performance and efficient energy management technology.” Sammy’s shopping the new processor around to other handset manufacturers as well, noting that the Exynos 4 Quad is pin-to-pin compatible with the Exynos 4 Dual, giving designers the ability to update product designs with minimal costs.

Whoa, there. We’re still weeks away from an official big stage unveiling, but it looks like Samsung’s next Galaxy phone is already out there. Vietnamese site Tinhte, which has past form on these kind of things, has got it hands on the GT-I9300 — purportedly the Galaxy S III if Samsung decides to follow its own naming convention. According to the specifications leaked, the phone houses a 4.6-inch display at 720 x 1184 resolution (320 DPI, depending on whether you include those on-screen Android buttons), while a quad-core 1.4 GHz processor works on keeping the Ice Cream Sandwich OS running smoothly. Other hardware mentions include 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage plus microSD capability.
According to Tinhte, the 2050 mAh battery will arrive with NFC capabilities baked in, like the Galaxy Nexus before it. There’s an iffy plastic rim surrounding to the whole device that has apparently been added not to ruin the look of the device ahead of its official launch. While we’ve seem some similar hardware leaks already, this video makes a very strong case for it being the real deal. Take a look for yourself right after the break, alongside a picture of the back.

Microsoft’s Gavin Kim was a high-profile capture for Redmond, as it poached the former Samsung and Motorola exec to bolster its Windows Phone marketing team. Now, just five months into the job, he’s departing after marshaling the “Smoked by Windows Phone” campaign into the world. The company wouldn’t go into specifics beyond saying that it was a personal decision to leave and Microsoft bears him no ill will — but then that’s what they always say. He’ll be replaced by Eugene Ho, who now has the job of continuing the burgeoning platform’s upward trajectory and winning around those European carriers who’ve greeted it with little more than apathy.

Samsung reportedly axes Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 production to add quad-core CPU

No comments
This is, well, a little strange. The fine folks over at Netbooknews are reporting that Samsung has ended production on the GT P5100 — better known as the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. The story comes courtesy of an unnamed “Korean Samsung insider” who claims the device is getting upgraded to a quad-core CPU. Whether the chip in question is the much lauded 32nm Exynos 4412, which packs not only four Cortex A9 cores, but four Mali 604 GPU cores as well, is unknown. It’s also not clear how this is going to affect US launch plans. Rumors are the Galaxy Note 10.1 will be getting a similar brain transplant before hitting the market. Sadly, all we can do right now hold our breath and wish real hard that both will hit shelves sooner rather than later and with an extra pair of cores in tow. Sammy better get a move on too if it’s gonna have to give Uncle Sam another crack at this slate.
