Looks like Samsung has “unpacked” a little early and let the cat out of the bag regarding what processor will be powering their “Next Galaxy” device. In an official announcement, Samsung has unveiled the new Exynos 4 Quad processor along with the fact that the “Next Galaxy” will be the first to be fitted with the chip. Samsung is boasting double the processing power at a 20 percent lower power bill over its predecessor, the 45nm process based Exynos 4 Dual. That claim, while impressive, is backed by its 32nm HKMG low-power process and power-saving design, hot-plug functionality for on-off switching of cores, full HD 30 frame per second video hardware codec engine, embedded image signal processor interface and HDMI 1.4 interface (whew).

While I’d personally go with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (which they are also offering for $49.99), if for some reason you’re in the market for a DROID RAZR, this is good deal. It’s on par with what Amazon Wireless is charging for the RAZR and is $50 less what you’d pay over at Verizon.
If you’ve been thinking about purchasing the new Tegra 3 ASUS Tranformer Pad TF300T, you might want to act fast as BJ’s Wholesale is offering the tablet at what it claims to be the lowest price. For $389.99 and free shipping, you’ll be able to get your hands on ASUS’s latest tablet featuring:
