Give The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 A Test Drive With Sammy's Online Simulator

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

While on the hunt for a tablet, it's natural to want to try before you buy, but that's not always possible. Fortunately, if you're thinking about picking up the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, then Sammy has your back. You can now give the Galaxy Tab 10.1 a go before you drop a pretty good sized chunk of change on it, thanks to the new Tab Online Simulator.

The simulator allows you to take a look at everything from the initial sign in process to web browsing and using the cameras. It's not a free-for-all, though - it breaks everything down into categories and guides you through the device features with interactive tutorials.

comScore: Android Accounts For Only 2.7% Of All Tablets In The US

Posted by in Android OS, News

We often hear smartphone and other market share figures bandied about by various analysts and market research firms - but comScore tends to be a pretty trusted name in the industry, particularly when it comes to web traffic figures, so we take these numbers as being fairly reliable.

In their most recent web traffic survey of "non-computer" devices (tablets, phones, media players), comScore evaluated traffic on a per-nation basis, and the results don't paint a pretty picture for Android tablets.

Raw percentage as part of all "Non-Computer Devices"

If you break down the raw percentages above, Apple's iPad represents over 97% of all tablet web traffic in the United States.

Rumor: The Next Nexus Phone May Be Built By Samsung, Has Super AMOLED HD Display

Posted by in Android OS, Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, News, Rumors, Samsung

We're as skeptical of oddly-specific rumors as the next blog, but given the source, we feel it'd be negligent of us not to pass on this information to you. A couple weeks back, we reported on a BGR-exclusive story that leaked information about the next Google Nexus Android phone.

Now, "Prime" is rumored to be the device codename being tossed around at the Googleplex for the upcoming handset, but BGR's exclusive source has reason to believe that name will make it to end consumers. There's also the fact that this name has been bandied about before and bears a certain pop culture reference - so we're not exactly sure how legit it is, or if it's just an affectionate/humorous pet name until the device gets a real label.

Sprint's Q3 Roadmap Leaked - Samsung Epic 2 And "Full Touch 4G" Device In The Pipeline

Posted by in Epic 4G Touch, Samsung, Sprint

The EVO 3D just came out today, but it looks like HTC's new flagship won't be the last high-end Android phone to grace Sprint store shelves this year. Quite the contrary - according to This is my next, whose editors have a nearly spotless track record where leaks are concerned, "Big Yellow" is gearing up to launch two new Android handsets, this time from Samsung: the Epic 2 and an as-of-yet nameless "full touch 4G" device.

The Epic 2, as its name implies, will be the successor to last year's Epic 4G. Sadly, This is my next reports that the phone will be a marginal improvement at best - its processor is still a single-core Hummingbird chip (though the clock speed is now 1.2GHz, as opposed to the original's 1GHz), and its screen is still 4 inches.

Samsung Updates Kies For Mac Beta To Include Galaxy Tab 10.1 Support

Posted by in News, Samsung

If you're a Mac user who scooped up the recently released Galaxy Tab 10.1, then there's little doubt you've already had to deal with some frustrations - like the fact that you couldn't even access the device's internal storage from your computer. Fortunately, Samsung pushed an update to Kies for Mac Beta that adds Galaxy Tab 10.1 support, so you can finally start loading it up with all of your favorite on-the-go goodies.

While this update does bring some welcome features, you still won't be able to use it upgrade your devices firmware. Of course, this can still be done over Wi-Fi, so you're not left completely in the cold.

[Deal Alert] Samsung Exhibit 4G ($50) And Gravity SMART (Free) From Wirefly

Posted by in Deals, Exhibit 4G, Gravity SMART, News

To welcome the arrival of T-Mobile's newest mid-range handsets, the Samsung Exhibit 4G and Gravity SMART, Wirefly is throwing a bone out there to all who are thinking of signing up with Team Magenta. If you walk into a T-Mo retail store looking to pick up either of these devices, then you'll be shelling out $80 for the Exhibit and $70 for the Gravity SMART (or $30 if you get the plain black one), but you can grab them from Wirefly for $50 and free, respectively.

Since these are both new devices, here is a look at the specs:

Samsung Exhibit 4G

T-Mobile-Samsung-Exhibit-4G-Android-Smartphone

  • 3.5 Inch 480x800 TFT display
  • 1GHz single-core Hummingbird processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • 3MP rear shooter, 0.3MP 'round front
  • Android 2.3 with Touchwiz
  • Black and Violet variants

Samsung Gravity Smart

27-Samsung-Gravity-SMART

  • 3.2 Inch display
  • 600MHz single-core proccessor
  • 3MP rear shooter
  • Slide-Out QWERTY
  • Android 2.2 with Touchwiz
  • Grey and Berry variants

While the Exhibit is a solid mid-range device (apart from the subpar camera), the Gravity SMART is more of an entry-level handset clearly directed at the 'tweener of the family.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Coming To Sprint On June 24th... But It's Wi-Fi Only

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News, Sprint

Even though Sprint has yet to get a Honeycomb tablet that actually runs on its network, that hasn't stopped it from at least trying to sell some new-tablet-tech. Just like with the Motorola XOOM, the Now Network has opted to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 void of any 3/4G connectivity, and instead will be offering the Wi-Fi only version.

The 10.1 inch, 16GB, Tegra 2-packing Tab will hit Sprint's online store on June 24th for $500, and arrive in retail stores exactly one month later for the same price. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why a wireless carrier would decide to offer tablets without its own network connectivity embedded deep within, but I'm sure there's some sort of near-logical explanation...
