Verizon is currently rolling out a relatively minor over-the-air update to all of its carrier-branded Galaxy S5’s located in the United States. Although this upgrade’s reportedly aimed at ‘updating stock applications on the handset and fixing a selection of known bugs,’ it looks like Big Red may have an ulterior motive for pushing it out, too.
Samsung’s first metal smartphone won’t be an even better version of the Galaxy S5 with a faster processor and a sharper display, according to a new report. Instead, it will be the Galaxy Alpha, a brand new handset that will combine a more premium form factor with midrange specifications when it makes its debut on August 4.
A Galaxy S5-lookalike with a metal body from Samsung has leaked quite a few times over the last few months. However, nothing concrete about the handset was known until today.
Today, the folks over at SamMobile have managed to get some live pictures of the handset along with some details about it specs.
Samsung gets a lot of stick for its commercials — mostly because they almost always make cheap stabs at Apple and other rivals. But the South Korean company does have the ability to produce great ads every so often, and its latest, featuring pro surfer (and iPhone user) Kelly Slater, is downright awesome.
Sony’s upcoming Xperia Z3 will pack a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor combined with 3GB of RAM, according to a new report, but a super sharp Quad HD display will not be appearing on its specifications sheet. Instead, the device is expected to deliver the same Full HD (1080p) resolution as its predecessor with a slightly smaller screen.
