Looks like Samsung has “unpacked” a little early and let the cat out of the bag regarding what processor will be powering their “Next Galaxy” device. In an official announcement, Samsung has unveiled the new Exynos 4 Quad processor along with the fact that the “Next Galaxy” will be the first to be fitted with the chip. Samsung is boasting double the processing power at a 20 percent lower power bill over its predecessor, the 45nm process based Exynos 4 Dual. That claim, while impressive, is backed by its 32nm HKMG low-power process and power-saving design, hot-plug functionality for on-off switching of cores, full HD 30 frame per second video hardware codec engine, embedded image signal processor interface and HDMI 1.4 interface (whew).
The term iSheep has been around for quite some time to describe those who purchase Apple products for no other reason than the fact that they’re Apple products and to denote that they all look the same. While I believe every facet of life has its “sheep,” Samsung makes an obvious reference to these iSheep in its latest Samsung Unpacked teaser video where they use sheep to depict “everyone else.”
There have been tons of Samsung Galaxy S III rumors and leaks, and while most have been downright laughable, this next one appears to be the real deal. A leaked video and some photos show the innards of the Samsung Galaxy S III encased in a plastic dummy shell (and being charged by a BlackBerry micro-USB cable) to keep the final design under wraps. The good news is the unit was fully functional and able to provide us with a look at a slew of specs.
After a barrage of rumors and fake images, we’re finally going to get some real facts about the Galaxy S III (that is if that’s the “Next Galaxy”). Samsung has begun sending out press invites to a “Samsung Unpacked” event in London on May 3rd where they will be unveiling the “Next Galaxy.” It’s safe to assume this will be the Samsung Galaxy S III, which means we’re less than a month away from finally seeing this unicorn in the wild.
Okay, this next one comes from a Korean site and claims that LG is prepping a competitor to the yet-to-be-announced Samsung Galaxy S III. While I always have trouble deducing what exactly is going on in a translation, I’m thinking these are the claims of the author and not LG. So what we basically have here is a rumored device to compete with another rumored device. If you’re interested in comparing rumored specs against the specs of well… rumor, then by all means check out the LG D1L.
