Rumored low-spec Samsung Galaxy Core has 4.3-inch display, vague hints of GS4 styling (update: dual SIM)

www.engadget.com Sharif Sakr 29 days ago

Samsung has a thing for releasing budget chasers soon after the main shot. There have already been strong hints of a GS4 Mini to capitalize on the flagship's buzz and now a purported leak over at hi-tech@mail.ru suggests another, even more cut-down model could be on its way, this time called the Galaxy Core. According to the Russian site -- which has some pedigree -- the Core has a 4.3-inch display with an 800 x 480 resolution, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 768MB RAM, 8GB of internal storage (plus microSD), a 5MP rear camera, 1,800mAh battery and likely Android 4.1-flavored TouchWiz.

Weekend Poll: Does the budget iPhone have legs?

www.tuaw.com Erica Sadun 92 days ago

Rumors continue to fly about a budget priced iPhone. Although we here at TUAW remain completely agnostic on the likelihood of this product, we certainly can understand why Apple would benefit from a low-cost product -- and not just for emerging markets like China. Consider the iPad 2. It's still for sale, with a budget price and great Apple engineering. The iPad 2 and the mini represent affordable products with high demand that consumers are choosing over high end features like Retina displays. Why wouldn't an iPhone benefit from a similar pricing spectrum? It's not the extra phone hardware (... Read similar

Point-Counterpoint: The 'cheap iPhone'

www.tuaw.com Chris Rawson 129 days ago

The "Apple will make a low-cost iPhone" rumor is turning into one of the leading tech industry memes of 2013. Just like the "Apple will make an HDTV" and "Apple will introduce a streaming music service" rumors, the "low-cost iPhone" rumor isn't exactly new; there have been rumors of an "iPhone nano" for close to five years now. The question no one seems to be asking is this: does it even make good sense for Apple to make a low-cost iPhone? Fellow TUAW writer Richard Gaywood and I batted that question around; our point/counterpoint follows. Chris Rawson: The low-cost iPhone is the only way to... Read similar

Intel Might Start Manufacturing Mobile Chips For Apple (INTC, AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Noel Randewich, Nadia Damouni 79 days ago

SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Intel's next CEO is likely to shepherd the top chipmaker into a growing contract-manufacturing business, a strategic shift that could lead to a deal with Apple Inc and give it a fighting chance to make inroads in the mobile arena. Manufacturing chips on behalf of other companies is a major departure for Intel, which for decades has based its business on using its manufacturing prowess to offer its own PC chips superior to rival products. As PC sales contract and Intel's fabrication plants operate at less than full capacity, the chipmaker sees an opportunity t... Read similar

Galaxy S 4 Mini surfaces in Samsung web profile code

www.engadget.com Jon Fingas 37 days ago

Talk of a Galaxy S 4 Mini started while many of us were still processing the impact of its full-size cousin, but there was little to go on at first beyond unverifiable imagery and top-level specs. Thankfully, Samsung itself just removed some of the doubt through a user agent profile on its own website. While the code only references a previously suspected GT-i9190 handle (the Galaxy S III Mini is the GT-i8190), a 960 x 540 screen and an ARM11-compatible processor, those details are enough to suggest the tiny Life Companion is more than just a rumor -- and, not surprisingly, less powerful tha...

Why Is Samsung's New Tablet So Expensive?

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 47 days ago

Today Samsung unveiled the final details for its newest tablet, the Galaxy Note 8.0. (Read the full review here). The 8-inch Android tablet was designed to compete with Apple's iPad Mini. But at $399.99, the Galaxy Note 8.0 costs $70 more. Why? Samsung's argument is that hardware extras like the stylus and infrared blaster make it more expensive to make. Here's Samsung's Philip Berne responding to the Galaxy Note 8.0 pricing criticism on Twitter: @rogerwcheng HD display. Wacom digitizer. IR blaster. Hardware costs money, y'know.
