Samsung Galaxy Tab market

Samsung Galaxy Tab market - history of the Galaxy card has been a saga, to say the least. In fact, it was actually in May that I first heard rumors of Samsung plans to launch a 7-inch tablet Android phones as their S Galaxy, but only after months of painful jokes - including a look at their packaging cruel Hall Engadget - Sammy finally announced that the Galaxy Tab in the world in the IFA. Tab certainly full of specifications - a 1GHz processor, with the full support of Flash for Android 2.2, two cameras, up to 32 GB of storage and WiFi / 3G - to put others to shame tablets Android and our hands first we just had the hunger for more. Without the price and availability, however, the story was a cliffhanger. Of course, those details sank in the coming months, and here in the U.S., Samsung has finally announced that the four major U.S. could call their own tabs.

Verizon has finally the ratio of lead, prices, and revealed that the card would hit $ 600 without a contract - at the same time, Sprint was followed by a no-price, and $ 400 for a two-year contract option.

( Samsung Galaxy Tab market )In fact, it was a long trip, but even after all this, some of the big questions remain unanswered. Tab is to provide a richer experience and brighter than any other non-Android platform? How applications are specially designed by Samsung? And finally, finally got a tablet on the market that can compete with the Apple iPad? We believe it is time to answer these questions and finally, opening what could be the most important chapter in the history of the Galaxy Tab - Engadget official magazine. We knew you would agree, join us after the break.

Galaxy Tab (Sprint)

Hardware

It becomes more difficult for manufacturers to differentiate the look of these gadgets all-screen, but Samsung has done a commendable job separating the losses of other contrasts with its facade and back surfaces. The back of the rounded body is covered with a glossy white plastic (if time remains white ghost is still unknown), while the front consists of a black case and a familiar flush glass screen. (Note: we sent the Sprint version of Tab and there may be slight cosmetic differences between the versions carrier.) Screen bezel seems less polished than iPad - you always want to keep the Windex (or gadget Brasso Polish) and chamois in the neighborhood, though. Speaking of cleaning, that's exactly what we would describe the rest of the design - there are four touch buttons on the front, a headphone jack on the top edge and a volume rocker, the microSD card slot and button Power on the right edge.

However, do not see why Samsung would not have been able to make room for the micro-USB port - loading and content using their own charging cable sideload Samsung.

To be honest, we need a real evaluation of the project equipment will be in proportion to its shape. Not surprisingly, a 7-inch tablets are much better with one hand as the big screen (or 9.7-inch or 11.6-inch iPad ExoPC), and 7.4 x 4.7 inches Card Galaxy there is no difference . Steve Jobs can not think size is optimal, but we enjoyed the smaller hands can wrap £ 0.83 / 0.47 inches, thick card when you read a book or keep it as a phone and use your thumbs is a type on-screen keyboard. Of course, it is not as light or as thin as 0.53 pounds / 0.33 inch, Kindle, or 0.48 lbs / 0.4-inch Dell Streak, but it's still enough light to keep the bed without the fear that falling on your face.

The whole construction of the device is superior, and while it may seem to some as an enlarged Captivate or fascinate, it feels more solid than those of mobile plasticy. We're not saying that it is robust by any standard - even if you have a screen Corning Gorilla Glass - but it feels very strong, and not worry so much when he fell into error on the couch. In addition, again without problems tab slid off things from time to time - then we suggest you keep this little guy in a case or a pin standing by it. We do not want the record on a stand-up as the Evo 4G and Archos 7. Think about it, Samsung.

Screen

The loss was not a Super AMOLED screen smartphones like brothers the S Galaxy, but the resolution 1024 x 600 LCD is always amazing. It is particularly better than most other screens tablets we've seen lately, which means of course the first thing we noticed his stellar viewing angle. (You know we hang with and our viewing angle.) Tilt of the screen off-axis does not cause color distortion and share with a friend is not necessary for us to make adjustments.

The same display is very bright and the colors are very sharp. While some have complained that seems a bit 'too saturated, you can adjust the color saturation of the display settings to your liking. While the iPad, it is difficult to see what the sun is a glossy screen, but when we did some filming of a video on the City of New York on a sunny day, we were still able to do the checking. Even if the resolution is not as high as the Tab iPad, 1024 x 768 resolution IPS panel, the display has a number of pixels better, resulting sharper e-book reading experience and the website as the iPad. (You know how some of us think about the number of pixels.)

Just as telephones in the S Galaxy, the capacitive screen is very sensitive, and as we saw the preview for the match easily the sensitivity of the iPad. Not once on the last day of testing, we had a problem with a light touch to make choices, or scrolling down the length of the long side curls with light. Similarly, a four buttons on the accelerometer is very sensitive for most applications (it is usually slower in the browser) and a quick adjust when you started. As the iPad using OS 4.2, there is no physical button to turn it off, but you can make the menu display settings. Two speakers on the bottom of the tablet is much more difficult than the average smartphone (ok, maybe with the exception of the HTC Surround), but if you are going to be a board to rock the party you want to connect a number of speakers.

Software: Android and TouchWiz

As we have said a number of film festivals before, nice that the screen is only as good as the software that runs under it. And if the card, the software will be very familiar to anyone who has ever been used Galaxy S Samsung TouchWiz cell layer Android 3.0. As you probably already know, we've never been particularly big fan of cartoony interface design - looks like a nice kiddie-like - but it has some nice polish to the average consumer, and the tablet, adds more generic Android smartphone experience.

"Android is not ready for the tablets." Everyone has heard this, and as we enter some of them in the following paragraphs, the tab key UI - windows, a drawer, the startup screen, the Swype keyboard - are well suited for 7-inch screen. Focal length scales re-skin gently Android browser 7-inch screen. Is it just a larger version of the Smartphone OS Google? Yes, but we never seen anything wrong with that.

Samsung Apps

On the other hand, it does not mean that there are key elements of the OS that require adjustments to enjoy the extra screen space, and unlike many other brands Android shelves, Samsung has done more than just throw on the applications of stocks. Below is a summary of the main applications developed specifically for Samsung tab.

Email - The core of the email looks like the Galaxy S phone, but when he returns to the screen to landscape mode, you get a Microsoft Outlook, as a component that displays the Inbox on the left and right posts. We prefer to manage and respond to correspondence of this application in the application of Gmail, which is the version smartphone.

Calendar - The calendar application is just as attractive. Horizontal position, you can adjust it so that the calendar will have the entire screen, or similar two-pane view that displays the list of upcoming events.

Messages, Contacts - These are pretty self-explanatory. Even if the card is not technically a phone because of all the U.S. airlines is limited in its ability to call, you can use the application to send SMS or MMS messages or e-mail addresses of other links. Like others, you have two pane view in landscape mode - to view the contact details to the left and the right message.

Media Hub - began to appear in the Galaxy S phones too, but the tab may be more appropriate to take advantage of Samsung's new movie and TV store / player. There are currently more than 1000 videos for MTV, Universal and Paramount, and while there is a good selection of current titles - we downloaded the episode of South Park coast of New Jersey for $ 1.99 - if it is empty to start looking for more films. No, ET, and Terminator, to name a few, are not available. Of course, everything here is protected by DRM, so no luck trying to drag our office. However, you will be able to access your account at the central office to five other Samsung devices to view any previously purchased content. Media Hub is not a bad alternative in the air, but at this point, we recommend the purchase of content through Amazon Unbox and lateral loads for use on multiple devices.

Note: Samsung Hub also has an application that gives readers access to Kobo e-library and reading content, but Sprint decided not to preload.

Samsung Galaxy Tab sold just 20000 out of 1m shipped, claims rival

Samsung Galaxy Tab sold just 20000 out of 1m shipped, claims rival

An executive at Lenovo tablets Android manufacturer Samsung says it has sold only 20,000 tablets of 1 m which shipped last year in an attempt to "buy" market leader Apple.

Dramatically low figure shows that the efforts of Samsung in its first 7-inch tablet launched exactly one year ago, has fallen well below targets.

Andrew Barrow, director of consumer products and prices for Lenovo in Western Europe, told the Guardian that the problem of trying to undermine the price of the Apple iPad, about 30m far been sold, was that "all [the producer] would be to give money away. "

Samsung said at the end of 2010, had been sent to 1m Galaxy 7-inch devices, which were seen as the first real competitor Android Apple iPad. However, according to Barrow, Samsung has only sold 20,000 and tablets. Samsung did not return request for comment on the allegation by the Barrow, is published.

Samsung has never given any information on actual sales, it has done in the tablet market. In an earnings call in late January, the leaders of Samsung conceded that the company had delivered much more than the tablets were actually sold, said the latter figure was "very slippery" - an enigmatic expression, which n ' has never been explained.

Lenovo has announced its own access to Android Market for tablet technology in the exhibition IFA in Berlin on Thursday, with the K1 IdeaPad. Asked K1, which will launch in mid-September, and the starting price is £ 349, should be much cheaper than the market-leading IPAD 2 for £ 399, Barrow told the Guardian that "at this price, the [manufacturer] should give the money away. "

He added: "We do not feel the need to buy from Apple if the product is sold, sold.". Lenovo said it is "in principle, with [his] first volume," unlike other manufacturers. When pressed, Barrow said the Galaxy Tab "sold 20,000 [stores], and Samsung says million Shipments [stores]," make a big loss, but it is known as a leading manufacturer of tablets Android.

Rob Bamforth, Quocirca analyst, Mobile, told the Guardian that the sale of 20 000 would be surprisingly low. "It is certainly plausible that the sales channel will be considerably higher than outside sales. The question is, how much, and it sounds like a lot," said Bamforth. "When you walk the streets and the train to see iPads. Certainly [Android] The figures are relatively poor. They have so bad, I do not know."

Bamforth noted that if the allegations are true, Samsung has been active in an activity called "canal fill", where producers require large transfers of products to package advertising. But retailers can usually return large amounts of stock if the sale is particularly bad, manufacturers like Samsung tends to have an incentive not to complete the canal.

"These things are usually out early, but if it was bad for three or six months, you can expect with the rumblings of the channel, and I have not seen a significant grumblings," Bamforth said, adding that if sales of the low, he is also expected to have seen more discounting in the device.

Since the original Galaxy Tab Samsung has launched a number of followers of various sizes. Its flagship product, the Galaxy Tab 10.1, has the same screen size as the iPad, 2, and is now banned in Germany and Australia is due to the ongoing dispute with Apple. Apple says Samsung is copied to the layout of its iPad Android tablets, along with some parties to the transaction.

Many manufacturers are now trying to sell Android tablets, and some more recent iterations of these devices are viable alternatives to the ubiquitous IPAD. New Galaxy Tab 7.7, a direct upgrade of the original, with a faster processor than the IPAD, with an impressive display. The range of applications optimized tablet Android also increased significantly since the original Galaxy Lose launched at the IFA of the 2010th

Barrow refused to say how Lenovo "preliminary" first pill actually run Android. Asked what would happen if it was not a success, said the company has "other products in the pipeline", possibly in terms of resolution enhancement, weight and battery size, and types of connectivity.

Lenovo is also a business-oriented ThinkPad Tablet, which is already available in the IT suppliers in Western Europe. This device is slightly more valuable than K1 because of the ownership of the company, and which are not in direct competition with the iPad, and many consumer-oriented contenders Android.

Samsung‘s Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB with Wi-Fi has hit Canadian chain stores and is ready to be bought by those of you who have been drooling over a nicely equipped Android 3.x device. While the Motorola XOOM in previous months have underwhelmed the industry, I can honestly say this device is a true screamer. It matches the performance levels of the Asus EeePad Transformer minus the IPS display but the colors and viewing angles are satisfactory. Stores like Best Buy Canada and Futureshop will have this available on Friday, August 26 at a price of $499.99 without any contracts, so just one more working week ahead and you will enjoy this device by the weekend,. The photo above is a screenshot from theSource.ca and if you read the finer print it says that it is only available Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 online. However some readers have tipped one of our editors, Gary Ginn that they have seen it displayed on the floor of some Source locations.

Mobile carriers TELUS Mobility, Bell Mobility and Rogers Wireless here in Canada will also be releasing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in 4G form with rumors indicating the release is expected to be early September.

The slab features TouchWiz over Android OS 3.1, 10.1-inch display with a resolution of 1280×800, 1Ghz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 3-megapixel rear camera with a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calling via Google Talk. If the names Galaxy Tab reminds you of the first iteration of a tablet from Samsung then you should end that train of thought right now. This is a completely new tablet with better specs, larger screen and a version of Android that is specifically designed for the tablet experience. The exterior is super thin at only 8.6mm and only weighs 565 grams.

Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800): 3.2 inch Android handset

Yesterday I discussed about Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500), in case you are not satisfied with the offerings of the handset, you can have a look at its sibling model known as Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5800). It comes with all the facilities provided by Galaxy 5 with some slight modification. For example, the phone has a 3.2 inch screen as compared to Galaxy 5`s 2.8 inch.
samsung galaxy 3As far as dimensions are concerned, Galaxy 3 will be of more length as compared to Galaxy 5. However, both the models have TouchWiz v3.0 touchscreen user interface. Regarding multimedia options, the phone very well supports all major media files, both in case of audio and video.
The camera is slightly improved here. Galaxy 3 has 3.2 MP Camera with auto focus option. Again the connectivity options are similar with presence of WiFi and 3G. In case of Bluetooth Galaxy 3 has Bluetooth v3.0 as compared to Galaxy 5`s v2.1. Moreover, the handset is powerd by 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery; hence expect a little more talk time as compared to Galaxy 5.
Once again, Galaxy 3 i5800 stands out in expandable memory option; it can support up to 32 GB of memory as compared to 16GB of Galaxy 5.

With some slight modifications to the existing features of Galaxy 5, Samsung is costing Rs. 3000 more (Rs. 12,000). Is the price justifiable? What are your views on it? Do let us know.

samsung galaxy s2 engadget

Samsung continues to go from strength to strength with its first dual-core phone - the Android 2.3.3-equipped successor to last year’s Samsung Galaxy S. Its impressive specification includes a 4.3-inch 800 x 480 Super AMOLED plus display, 8-megapixel camera, a dual core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal storage, microSD-support and Samsung’s updated TouchWiz 4.0 UI.

The Galaxy S2 is also one of the thinnest phones available at 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.5 mm. It weighs just 116g and is perfectly proportioned with smooth rounded edges. It's a big phone, but, unlike HTC's Desire HD, it doesn't feel particularly large in your hand despite its huge 4.3-inch display.

Galaxy S2 side

Like its predecessor, the Galaxy S, the S2 is made almost entirely out of plastic, save for the Gorilla Glass front panel and metallic chrome edging. It still feels like a good-quality phone, though, and the plastic helps cut down on its weight.

There’s one physical Home button on the device, which is flanked by two touch buttons for Menu and Back. One aspect we particularly liked is that to wake the phone you simply press the Home key. There’s no fiddling around on top for an unlock button and this makes handling the phone single-handed much easier.

There's a microUSB port on the bottom for charging and syncing with your PC, and on top there's a 3.5mm jack plug which will work with any set of headphones. There’s no HDMI-out as on LG's Optimus 2X, unfortunately, so you'll have to make do with the Galaxy S2’s DLNA capabilities for sharing content wirelessly across a home network.

LTE Addition Pits Samsung's Galaxy S2

Samsung Mobile displays the new champ will be present at this year's Galaxy S2 in the event the event MWC 2011 is the successor to Galaxy S.

For fans of Samsung Galaxy S2 in Australia seems to be able to have this phone shortly after MobiCity Australia offers this phone at a price of EUR 899 or USD 945, which means approximately USD 9 million. MobiCity stated this phone will be sent to its subscribers next week. Australia already, maybe Samsung S2 Galaxy will also arrive in Indonesia soon.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Store

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is no longer available to customers in most of Europe -- at least not for now.

Apple Inc. obtained a preliminary injunction from a court in the European Union, preventing Samsung from selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. As a result, the Android-powered tablet will be removed from shelves in Europe.

The Galaxy Tab 10.1 only became available for sale in Europe this summer -- that didn't last long! According to CBS News, "Apple has claimed that Samsung's Galaxy line of smart phones and tablets copies Apple design features -- including the packaging and accessories."

A Dusseldorf judge felt that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 did indeed copy parts of the iPad. And so just like that, it will be removed from store shelves.

Apple had more luck getting quick results in Europe than the company did in the United States. U.S. customers can still purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, despite the suit that Apple filed back in April in a California court. Apple requested a jury trial because they felt that Samsung "slavishly" copied their design. The company is still awaiting action.

As for Samsung's position, the company is "disappointed" by the injunction in the European Union. Samsung "intend[s] to act immediately to defend our intellectual property rights through the ongoing legal proceedings in Germany, and will continue to actively defend these rights throughout the world."

Apparently, Samsung was caught off guard by the injunction, and differences in the legal system between the United States and Europe meant that Samsung wasn't able to defend the Galaxy Tab 10.1. SlashGear reports that Samsung wasn't aware that Apple was filing for an injunction until Apple had actually filed it. A Samsung representative told SlashGear that “the order was issued without any hearing or presentation of evidence from Samsung.”

However, SlashGear also notes that if Samsung is victorious in the main case, Apple will be liable to Samsung for damages on lost sales on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Tell us: Have you used a Galaxy Tab 10.1? Is the Samsung device that similar to an Apple iPad?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

The good: As thin as the iPad 2 and even lighter, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the sexiest Honeycomb tablet we've seen. Also, it has a 3-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front camera, and powerful dual speakers.

The bad: The lack of ports on the tablet will be a problem for some and the plastic back leaves it feeling less solid than the iPad 2.

The bottom line: Sleek, sexy, and light, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 gets as close to the iPad 2 as any Android tablet before it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Editors' note: We mistakenly listed the rear-facing camera for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 as 8-megapixel. We've since updated the review to reflect the correct specs of the camera, which is 3 megapixels. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
From a design perspective, no Android 3.0-based tablet has matched the iPad 2's no-nonsense aesthetic. The iPad 2 is sleek, sexy, thin, and light, with a minimalist design that eschews extra ports. Every Honeycomb tablet released so far has struggled to match that appeal.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the first Honeycomb tablet that is not only as thin as the iPad 2, but is actually lighter.
Design and features
The first thing that struck us upon taking the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 out of its box was its slim profile. In fact, when it's lying next to the iPad 2 we honestly can't tell which tablet is thicker and unfortunately we don't have a micrometer handy to get down into the business of microns. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 weighs 1.24 pounds, compared with the iPad 2's 1.32 pounds.
Rather than several paragraphs filled with confusing numbers, I thought a chart would be much more appropriate. Here's a handy chart to illustrate the size differences between the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and other recent tablets.

	Asus Eee Pad Transformer	Acer Iconia Tab A500	Motorola Xoom	Apple iPad 2	T-Mobile G-Slate	Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Weight in pounds	1.52	1.66	1.62	1.34	1.38	1.24
Width in inches (landscape)	10.7	10.2	9.8	9.5	9.6	10.1
Height in inches	6.9	6.9	6.6	7.3	5.8	6.9
Depth in inches	0.51	0.51	0.5	0.34	0.49	0.34
Side bezel width in inches (landscape)	1.1	0.8	0.6	0.8	0.9	0.8

Taking another page from the iPad 2's school of sexy tablet building, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has one of the cleanest designs we've seen in a tablet. From the front, its 10.1-inch screen is surrounded by its 0.8-inch black bezel and a silver aluminum outline at the edge. In the top middle sits its 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
On the top edge from left to right are the power/sleep button, volume rocker, and headphone jack. A speaker adorns the right and left sides and the universal connection port is found on the bottom edge, right beside a microphone pinhole.
There are no USB or HDMI ports. And, try as we might, we couldn't find ports for either SD cards or SIM cards. We're hoping Samsung's final release version will make finding the ports a lot easier.
The back of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sports a 3-megapixel camera at the top and a plain white back. It's the feel of the plastic back that is the most disappointing aspect of the Tab 10.1's design. It doesn't feel as solid as the iPad 2, and as a result, doesn't feel as comfortable in our hands. Still, despite its 10.1-inch screen, the tablet never felt the least bit bulky.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a Google Experience tablet, meaning it uses the base version of Honeycomb 3.1, with no customizations to its interface; however, Samsung does include its Samsung Apps, um, app. Samsung Apps gives you access to the company's own application store.
For more information on version 3.1 of Honeycomb, check out the Honeycomb section of our original Xoom review.
Performance
This is Samsung's first tablet with a 10.1-inch screen, and it looks fantastic. The Super PLS-based display, with its 1,280x800-pixel resolution, produces a clear, crisp image, with a wide viewing angle that looks great when Web surfing or browsing the app store.

Samsung Galaxy Overview

When Samsung joined the Open Handset Alliance, excitement and anticipation engulfed the mobile world. With industry leading mobile phones such as the Samsung Instinct and Samsung Omnia already on the market, expectations soared. The speculation can finally end: on April 27th, 2009 the Samsung i7500 was officially announced as the company's first Android Phone.

From sexy, sleek hardware to fantastic specs and attention to detail, the Samsung i7500 has it all. Sporting a 3.2" AMOLED screen, 5 megapixel camera with flash, Wi-Fi, GPS and 40GB of total storage (internal/external) there isn't much more a mobile lover could want... but Samsung included more anyways.

The Samsung i7500 is the first ever Android Phone to rock a 3.5mm headphone jack, so those 40GB of storage are sure to keep your music library healthy and rotating. Don't worry about all that multimedia draining your batter because the 1500 mAh battery included with the i7500 has more juice than any other Android Phone to date. This phone has all the markings of a multimedia monster!

Words don't do justice to Samsung's AMOLED screen but if you had to try, bright, vibrant and all around gorgeous would come to mind. The crystal clear view not only makes day to day use of the i7500 more enjoyable but it enhances the entertainment value of videos, games and more.

The Samsung i7500 comes preloaded with Google's suite of applications and services such as Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Latitude and more! And of course, you can find all the games and apps you want on Android Market.

What may be most impressive is Samsung's ability to pack this incredible power into such a small frame... the i7500 is only 11.9mm thick. The Samsung i7500 is available in Europe and internationally now!
