Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee has regained consciousness for the first time after falling into a coma two weeks ago, according to The Korea Herald.
The 72-year-old suffered a heart attack earlier this month, before undergoing a 60-hour heart surgery related to acute myocardial infarction. The medical team at the Samsung Medical Center say that he is recovering well. Lee was reportedly awoken after hearing family members cheer a Samsung Lions baseball game on a nearby television.
More than a year after it announced the original Galaxy S4, Samsung has released the “Galaxy S4 Value edition” in certain regions of Europe. Rumors and leaks about the handset started appearing back in February, but for reasons unknown to us, Samsung decided to push back the handset’s release until today.
So, what’s the difference between the Galaxy S4 Value edition and the plain old Galaxy S4? Well, just about nothing.
Compared to the Galaxy S4, Samsung’s latest flagship comes with a number of major improvements — including a water-resistant IP67 form factor, a stellar 16-megapixel camera, great battery life, and a top-notch Super-AMOLED display.
However, the Galaxy S5 is far from perfect, and there are a number of issues that Samsung must improve next year with the Galaxy S6. We’ve compiled a list of the handset’s biggest weaknesses, based not only on our own experiences, but those of the community, too. If Samsung can fix these things next time around, the Galaxy S6 could be every smartphone owner’s dream.
Samsung will unveil its next-generation Galaxy Note on September 3, just days before IFA 2014 kicks off in Berlin, according to sources familiar with the South Korean company’s plans. Invitations are expected to go out in late August, and it’s an event phablet fans will want to keep a close eye on.
Samsung’s like the spoiled brat you went to school with: they have almost everything, but if another kid comes in with a toy that’s not part of their collection, mummy and daddy will make sure they get it.
Rumor has it the South Korean company is now developing its own virtual reality headset that will work alongside Galaxy devices — and it is desperate to get the product to market before Facebook and Sony launch theirs.
