Samsung hopes to attract new parents to its upcoming Galaxy S5 with a built-in “baby crying detector” that provides a vibrating alert when it hears a crying baby.
The new feature, which wasn’t mentioned during Samsung’s press unveiling in Barcelona last month, is just of one of many Galaxy S5 accessibility options designed to help those with a hearing impairment.
Apple and Samsung will return to federal court in Silicon Valley today for the next round of their seemingly never-ending patent war.
The two rivals will face off once again before District Court Judge Lucy Koh, presiding in the California city of San Jose.
Koh was the same judge who presided over the previous Apple vs. Samsung trial, which ended with a jury deciding that Samsung owed Apple more than $1 billion in damaging for infringing on patents — although this number was later trimmed to $929 million.
Samsung’s head of mobile business, J.K. Shin, earns more than Tim Cook, according to a new report.
In 2014, Shin received $5.8 million compensation– made up of a base salary of 1.17 billion won, and 1.6 billion won in incentives and performance bonus. By comparison, Tim Cook took home $4.25 million — only slightly more than the $4.17 he earned in 2012.
Just a couple of days ago, the folks over at iFixit did a complete strip down of the new HTC One (M8) revealing all its internals and mentioning that the handset is extremely difficult to repair. Now, a Russian website has managed to disassemble the One’s (M8) chief competitor — the Galaxy S5 — revealing all its internal in their full glory.
If you’ve watched any of those Galaxy S5 or HTC One M8 unboxing videos that are now taking over YouTube, then you’ve probably seen their new startup screens that proudly display a “powered by Android” logo.
Google is now forcing handset makers to display this logo in a supposed effort to raise awareness of the Android brand, with many third-party interfaces making the platform unrecognizable.
