Samsung wins one in Apple patent-infringement case - MobilEgypt

Samsung today won an important ruling against Apple in Germany. The Mannheim Regional Court ruled today that Samsung does not violate a patent Apple holds related to touchscreen functionality in mobile devices. According to the Korea Times, which was first to report on the judgement, the patent in question relates to the way a touchscreen interprets finger inputs. Apple and Samsung have been waging a bitter patent battle all over the world. Neither company had gained an upper hand until last month when a jury in San Jose, Calif., charged Samsung with copying Apple's products. Over the next few months, Samsung could be forced to pay out over $1 billion in damages and might see some of its mobile devices banned from sale. Samsung told the Korea Times in a statement today that it plans to "continue to further develop and introduce products that enhance the lives of German consumers." According to Reuters, the court didn't just stop at Samsung. Motorola, which was also cited in an Apple lawsuit over the touchscreen technology, was likewise found not to violate the iPhone maker's patent. Apple, of course, isn't in danger of running out of claims. The company has several lawsuits against both Samsung and Motorola in courts across the U.S. and Europe. Many of those suits likely won't be resolved for several months. Meanwhile, Apple's competitors are reportedly considering firing more salvos. Earlier this month, reports surfaced, saying Samsung would launch a lawsuit against Apple's iPhone 5 over its use of 4G LTE . The company claims the integration violates patents it holds related to the speedy wireless service.

New Samsung Galaxy Note II Concept Phone Emerges - MobilEgypt

In early May, Samsung unveiled to the world its latest flagship Android- based device, the Galaxy S III, with a quad-core application processor packs inside, and with a large 4.8- inch touchscreen display on the front. The handset builds on the success of last year’s Galaxy S II, which was also used as base for the building of another high-end handset from Samsung, namely Galaxy Note. Following tradition, a new Galaxy Note model might arrive on shelves with specs that would remind of Galaxy S III, and one concept phone that steps down this road has just made an appearance online. We’re referring here to the Galaxy Note II concept device from Bob Freking (via Concept-phones ), which shows design elements familiar to Samsung’s new Android phone. Basically, Galaxy Note II was thought as a larger version of Galaxy S III and is featuring a 5.5-inch front panel now, up from the 5.3-inch touchscreen display on the original Note. Of course, this is a 1080p HD AMOLED screen, and is complemented by a quad-core Exynos 1.8 GHz application processor, capable of providing users with better performance levels. The same TouchWiz UI from Galaxy S III would be present on this device, though it would have to feature some tweaks to make it compatible with the S Pen technology that Samsung’s Galaxy Note devices arrive with. If we were to let us dream higher, we would even say that Galaxy Note II is meant to bring along upgraded S Pen technology, and that other specs of the device would also be enhanced to make it even more appealing than the original. Samsung’s Galaxy Note smartphone was quite successful, and a follower would certainly attract people on its side, although it would be aimed only at a niche market. However, if packed with high-end specs such as those attached to this concept phone, it could easily win the heart of more users.

Samsung Debuts Galaxy S III Pre- Booking in India - MobilEgypt

Samsung’s Galaxy S III is getting ready to make an official appearance on shelves in India, though specific info on the handset’s arrival is still a mystery. However, it appears that users can already pre-book the smartphone to receive it as soon as it is made officially available in the country. Samsung has posted on its website a page that enables users to do so, without unveiling the necessary details on the handset’s release date or on the price tag it will feature when launched. To reserve one Galaxy S III unit, have to pay Rs. 2,000 (around $37/ 29 Euro). They will receive a coupon that can be redeemed when purchasing the device. Users who would like to take advantage of this opportunity should head over to this page on Samsung’s website to pre-book one unit. Galaxy S III has created a lot of hype event before being officially announced, and it managed to stir waters after its official unveiling as well. Samsung and its partners have already started the pre-order period for the mobile phone, and quite successfully, we might add. A recent report suggests that over 9 million Galaxy S III units have been already reserved all around the world, already making the device Samsung’s fastest selling smartphone. Running under Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, Samsung’s Galaxy S III sports a large 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED touchscreen display, while being powered by a quad-core application processor. The handset arrives on shelves with 1GB of RAM and with three options of internal memory, namely 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Moreover, it can accommodate microSD memory cards of up to 64GB. The smartphone also comes with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with LED flash and HD video recording capabilities, as well as with a 1.9MP camera on the front, for making video calls.

Samsung's GalaxyS III reportedlynotches ninemillion pre-ordersworldwide - MobilEgypt

Wondering how the launch of Samsung's Galaxy S III is going? According to the Korea Economic Daily , an unnamed Samsung executive revealed that the followup to its previous fastest selling phone has already racked up nine million pre-orders around the world. That would put it nearly halfway to the 20 million Galaxy S II's Samsung reported shipped back in February, and all without even officially moving a unit in the US yet. It's not that we're jealous of the rest of the world's abilities to lay their cash down for some quad-core Exynos action while we wait to hear about the likely (still awesome) dual-core LTE-equipped US carrier variants due this summer , but yes -- we're jealous the rest of the world already has the option of choosing Samsung's latest flagship phone. Once they do start shipping (assuming there's no delays in customs ) there should be plenty to go around however, as Reuters' translation also indicates the company's factory is already cranking out five million units every month.
