Fluctuating Galaxy S4 Black Friday Pricing Says Maybe… Today, we’ve got a serious release date rumor that’s for you. Having made its way around the mill only for a day or so, we’re not sure if this will grow legs or not, but we really, really hope it does. Does Galaxy S4 Black Friday Price Mean S5 is on the Way? RadioShack is selling the Galaxy S4 at $50. We checked to be sure, and it’s true. Galaxy S4 is available at $49 starting November 28. Currently, though, those who want a Galaxy S4 can use the Trade & Save program to buy it – and it might wind up a bit cheaper than buying it on black Friday. There’s a catch, though. Calling it Trade & Save, RadioShack requires those who want to get the lowered pricing to bring in a smartphone that works and trade it for the Galaxy S4 and depending on the trade’s condition, you could pay anything from $0 to $99. Testing the deal, the Trade & Save offered us $71.45 towards a purchase for a Sprint Galaxy S3 32 GB that powers up, is in perfect working condition, and is complete with charger. However,…

Confirmed: Galaxy S5 to Get ISOCELL   Today, instead of a Galaxy S5 rumor, we’ve got a couple of confirmations for you via Samsung. The first was  a Samsung press release that confirmed some of the Galaxy S5 rumors we’ve brought you over the last two months. More specifically, Samsung Tomorrow, the Samsung Global news site, has confirmed that the company’s own ISOCELL CMOS image sensors are for real. While we pretty much knew this already, what we had not yet confirmed was the use of these sensors on the Galaxy S5, but today that rumor has left the mill and made its way to the “confirmed” category. Galaxy S5 to Get 16-MP Camera According to the International Business Times, Samsung announced that the company was working on 16-megapixel technology for upcoming devices, though the IBT noted that that every Samsung smartphone released starting 2014 – and beyond – will sport no less than a 16-megapixel camera utilizing the ISOCELL sensors. According to the Samsung press release, the ISOCELL technology works by increasing a camera’s sensitivity to light, allowing for the camera’s sensors to take control of the way the camera absorbs electrons. Samsung says that this process essentially results…

With the Nexus 5 finally released – a powerful combination of Android Kit-Kat and LG’s awesome technology, fans of the Galaxy are wondering when their turn is coming. Though the rumors are heating up about the Galaxy S5 again, some have turned their attentions toward the Nexus 5 because of its release. Nevertheless, we are here to tell you to come on back and see what Galaxy S5 rumors are flying through the mill today – there is a reason the rumors are heating up again. More Release Date Rumors? Once again, we have heard about a Galaxy S5 release date – and it seems that our initial prediction that the Galaxy S5 will be released at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show is on track to being correct. All indications point to that date, or at the very least, an otherwise early January 2014 release date says the International Business Times. More Mobil OS Rumors – Android Kit-Kat vs. Samsung  Tizen™ However, while that same IBT report says that the newest Android Kit-Kat mobile operating system the Galaxy simply because it is the power behind the Nexus 5, that will not necessarily, be the case.

Yet Another Galaxy S5 64-bit CPU Rumor According to PhoneArena via DT, the South Korean online magazine that’s leaked a lot of cool information about the Samsung Galaxy S5 of late, the as yet unannounced Galaxy S5 will definitely be getting that 64-bit CPU about which we keep hearing.  Though most mainstream media sites swear that it is impossible for the Galaxy to get a 64-bit unit, we thought it was possible and said as much in this previous post. Now, DT is saying it is once again possible, and the news comes with a sidekick of a rumor that not only is the CPU in its final production stages, but that – if the Google Translate version of the DT page is correct – the CPU will be ready in about a month. CPU to Feature Eight Cores? In an October 25 report, PhoneArena said that Samsung executives hinted at this possibility of the chip’s readiness during the press conference held for their quarterly results. The company apparently decided that it should speed up its timetable to complete and release the Galaxy s5 because of the competition from Apple and its own S5, which is currently the only available…

Samsung to Block Galaxy S5 from 3rd Party Accessories?

Galaxy S5, Say it isn’t so…  Unfortunately, that’s the rumor we have to serve up to you today, courtesy of Sulekah.com – though the report doesn’t mention the source giving them the information, they do make a credible argument as to why Samsung would do something like this – besides the fact the company would make a ton of money. Galaxy S3 Explodes in Girl’s Pocket Back in July 2013, a few Samsung device users – various devices, not only cell phones – experienced the worst possible manufacturer malfunction. Their devices exploded for what they thought was no particular reason. Samsung uncovered and attributed the cause of the limited number of explosions to the different third party accessories that the users had connected to the device. While the accessories were supposed to have been compatible, there was an apparent problem with the compatibility, not to mention with the quality of the manufacturing, which caused the devices to smolder, smoke and burn to a crisp. Toast, we’re telling you. In fact, according to this NewLaunches.com report, an 18-year-old teen had a Galaxy S3 explode in her pocket – well, not exactly. It caught fire first and injured her so badly that…

Rumor: Galaxy S5 to Get 64-Bit CPU – Again?
GalaxyS5 , Images , News , smart phones / October 17, 2013

Galaxy S5 Rumor Mill is at it Again Boy, the Galaxy S5 Rumor mill can’t make up its mind, can it? With all the gossip out there, most of it going back and forth about the specifications that the Galaxy S5 will feature in its new, as yet still unannounced, iteration, it’s a wonder that any of the mainstream media sites can keep them straight. Two of the most hotly debated rumors include that of the mobile operating system the Galaxy will sport, and what type of hardware architecture it will sport – on which the mobile operating system used will rely. Potential CPU & OS for Galaxy S5 First, it was noted that Galaxy S5 will feature a Snapdragon 80 64-bit CPU, which would have allowed the device to run Kit-Kat. Then, rumors started flying about the lack of 64-bit support, which essentially meant that the Kit-Kat mobile OS would be impossible because Android Kit-Kat is designed for 64-bit systems. This meant the Galaxy S5 would have had to feature the older version of Android, Jelly bean, or that Samsung would have to take a chance at offering the company’s own mobile operating system, Tizen, which seemed highly unlikely…

By Galaxy S5 Info & Mobile Leaks Fans and experts have speculated about many of the still rumored Galaxy S5 features, and throughout every rumor, leak, and speculation article published, the information contained within leaves everyone wondering something.  What the gadget will look like when Samsung actually releases it? Probably one of the most asked and as yet unanswered questions to date. Well, instead of waiting for an answer, two gadget experts have taken the quesiton into their own hands to create two fabulously futuristic Galaxy S5 concept designs we’ve seen yet. The concepts are even pretty close to what we’d consider to be realistic. Fabulous & Futuristic There’s no doubt about it that each Galaxy S5 concept is sleek in its own right, but the one conceived of by Rahul Sharma is one of the sleekest, says Galaxy5Info.com. Looking at the photos on their website, Galaxy5Info.com is absolutely right. Probably the best part of this concept design is the display. At a huge 5.3-inches, the display will completely wrap over the front of the phone, bend if you will, over the rounded off edges, leaving no bezel.  Yes, the concept is a bendy screen, and would indeed make one…
