I’ve been kindly loaned a Galaxy S4 phone (as I’m sure you know by now), and over the past 7 days I’ve been comparing a couple of specific features of the two devices. I compared Siri with S-Voice and also gave the cameras a thorough workout. Now it’s time for the full comparison, and with news that Samsung is on track to sell 10 million S4 units in…
One thing I learned today: there’s a blog dedicated to pointing out every time Samsung copies Apple. Cool idea right? Its latest discovery was some shameless photoshopping by the Korean tech giant in one of its recent print ads. Posing for a shoot called “Pretty Woman Lying On The Sofa Holding Her Smartphone”, the model was shot holding an iPhone 3GS…
It has emerged today that Apple has decided to add the Samsung Galaxy S4 to its infringement case against Samsung, replacing another device on its list. Frankly, this whole infringement case is getting ridiculous, in fact, it’s so substantial that the trial doesn’t even begin until spring of next year. By then, Judge Koh has ordered that parties have…
Late last week, I took delivery of a Samsung Galaxy S4. Sadly, I don’t get to keep it, but I’ve been loaned it long enough for me to get some comparison posts up for your enjoyment. On Friday, I published the S-Voice vs. Siri comparison, and today it’s all about the cameras. I was very intrigued to see how each performed with a variety of shots and in…
I managed to secure a loan unit of the Galaxy S4 to try out and see how it compares to my beloved iPhone 5. And, since I have it for a week or so, I decided to run several tests comparing how the two perform across a variety of tasks. The first: digital assistants. S-Voice is Samsung’s answer to Siri. Like the iPhone’s system it can set reminders,…
Following a brief submitted by a joint amicus on the subject of sales ban in the Apple vs Samsung legal battle, Apple has contested Google’s involvement on the grounds that Google is not impartial. The brief, submitted yesterday argued that smartphones should not be subject to sales bans because the contain “trivial patented features”. It was submitted…
In a new development of the never ending Apple v. Samsung court battles, Apple has made a request to Google that it turn over some Android source code documents. It is making the claim that Google has been “improperly withholding information”, going on to say how Android itself “provides much of the accused functionality.” From the report by…
Court battle after court battle, and Samsung and Apple are finally taking it on the field – or the handset market, I should say. The New York Times is reporting that Samsung may be in the position to actually surpass Apple in terms of profits this next coming quarter. Analysts are saying that because of Samsung’s Galaxy S 4, and Apple’s waning iPhone…
It seems these days that Samsung’s only method of marketing is to take a swipe at Apple. With the Galaxy S3, the company mocked Apple fans lining up for the iPhone outside a store. Since Sammy has proven to have its own “sheep”, it’s had to change that tact, and instead point out a load of really gimmicky features that its Galaxy S4 has that the iPhone…
The US government’s Department of Defense will soon have more options when it comes to purchasing a business smartphone for use for official government purposes. The Pentagon is expected to officially approve both Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy line of phones for use by employees of the Department of Defense. Both companies have been battling…
