Samsung Galaxy S III vs.Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD HD

Motorola has come with a series of beasts running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and each one of them are going to compete with each other on Verizon LTE network as well as smartphones from other companies like Samsung. By design, the Motorola Droid RAZR series are certainly one step ahead with sturdy look, Kevlar coated back and compact form factor, Droid RAZR MAXX HD has a fatty form factor due to the beefy battery inside though.

What makes it difficult to compare the RAZR HD and Galaxy S III is that they have fairly competitive specifications.

For instance, they both feature 1280 x 720 pixel HD resolution AMOLED screens (a resolution often referred to simply as "720P"). They also sport 1.5 GHz dual-core processors which give them similar speed, microSD card slots for expansion, roughly the same amount of memory, same 4G technology, same camera, right down to the Gorilla Glass that protects the touchscreen. While the Galaxy S III's screen is a tenth of an inch larger than the RAZR's, you're not likely to miss the difference.

Samsung Unveils Galaxy Grand Smart Phone

How many Galaxy-branded phones will Samsung launch? We’re not sure, but it’s not stopping anytime soon. The company on Tuesday unveiled its latest device, the Galaxy Grand, an Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean smartphone with a 5-inch display. That places it right between the size of the screen on the Galaxy S III and the 5.5-inch display on the Galaxy Note II.

The Galaxy Grand packs a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 8-megapixel camera, a 2-megapixel camera for video chat, Bluetooth 4.0, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable storage and support for HSPA+ 21Mbps networks. It also sports several Touch Wiz features that are available on the Galaxy Note II, such as the Multi Window feature for quickly jumping between applications, Smart Alert, which shows missed calls when you pick up the phone, pop-up video previews, S Voice and more.

Samsung is planning to release two versions of the Galaxy Grand, including a single SIM model and one that accepts two SIM cards. That means international travelers can have two numbers routing to the phone, which makes it a great option for work/recreation or for two people who need to share a single device.

We expect we’ll see this phone during Mobile World Congress in February, where we hope Samsung will discuss pricing and availability in more detail.

Samsung Galaxy S III Sales Break 10 Million

 

Maybe Samsung is right and the next big thing really is here:sales of the company's Galaxy S III smartphone have officially broken 10 million units.

Though he was unable to provide specific numbers, the head of Samsung's information technology and mobile communication division, Shin Jong-Kyun,told the Yonhap News Agency that the company has moved more than 10 million Galaxy S III units since its initial launch in the EU and Middle East at the very end of May.

This outstrips the pace of its predecessor, the Galaxy S II, which took five months to reach 10 million units in sales. And the company's executives are likely satisfied with the news, as Samsung previously stated that, despite fighting component shortages, its goal was to hit the 10 million mark by early July.
