Will Samsung ever learn that you can release too many smartphones? It has already launched four different variants of the Galaxy S4 in a three-month period, and now it’s promising another with a faster processor and advanced LTE.
Samsung Co-CEO JK Shin confirmed the move today, and said that the new device will transmit data at twice the speed of the original Galaxy S4, and that it will go on sale in South Korea as early as this month.
Unlike Microsoft, Facebook, and today, Apple, which publicly published information regarding the number of requests made for customer information by the government over a 6-month period, Google is hoping to reveal its request statistics differently.
The search giant said in an official statement to AllThingsD that the large number of National Security letters, together with criminal requests, would be a “step back” for its users, so it wants to split them up.
On Friday, June 14, an FCC filing for the new Nexus 7 began circulating online, suggesting the tablet’s launch date was getting pretty close. After some extra digging, new information is emerging about the device, including its support for LTE on almost all of the major carriers in the U.S.
Instagram is gearing up to take on Vine by offering a new video sharing service, according to a source familiar with the plans. The move is expected to be announced on Thursday, June 20, during a mysterious Facebook press event at its headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
Just days after Google announced the “Google experience” edition of the HTC One for $599, HTC went ahead and increased its price of the HTC One from $575 to $599 to match Google’s. The company has now made the price hike a little more bearable by throwing in a $25 Google Play gift card with every purchase.
