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).
To celebrate the launch of Zynga’s latest hit ZombieSmash!, Google gave them special permission to go ahead and zombify the Bugdroid statue outside of Building 44. That was pretty cool of Google and I’m thinking this little stunt will give rise to some decorating madness come next Halloween. Anyways, ZombieSmash! has been out on iOS for quite some time now but today marks its debut on the Google Play Store — and what a way to debut if you ask me.
Scalado is an industry leader when it comes to imaging technology and you may remember the fancy software they were showing off at Mobile World Congress 2012. While they continue to entice OEMs to include their tech directly into devices, they’ve also been kind enough to release their first app onto the Google Play Store. Today Scalado released their Scalado Album app which is essentially an image gallery app on steroids.
Gameloft released a teaser video for the upcoming N.O.V.A. 3 game which is rumored to be powered by Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3. This is the third installment in the N.O.V.A. franchise, which stands for Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, and picks up with Kal Wardin crash-landing towards Earth. Gameloft has been known for their console-quality mobile games and N.O.V.A. 3 doesn’t look to disappoint.
The HTC One S has landed on T-Mobile and to get customers interested, T-Mobile is offering to give anyone willing to trade-in their old Android smartphone $100 of the cost back. The offer is actually good on all of T-Mobile’s 4G phones, but since the HTC One S launched today, it’s most likely the one customers will be after.
