8 Samsung Smartphones Infringing Apple’s Patents and Costing High Compensation for Samsung

For a long time period, the patent lawsuit between Samsung and Apple has finally ended with a big amount of compensation from Samsung to Apple for patent infringement. During the entire lawsuit trial, though Samsung tried their best to prove their smartphones are not infringing the patents of Apple, the trial jury has discovered that there’re 16 models of Samsung smartphones have been violating Apple’s design patents on appearance and other aspects. Due to these smartphones, Samsung has to pay as much as 1.5 billion dollars. Would this mean that Samsung is the loser in the patent battle with Apple? Apparently not. Apple and Samsung continue the patent battles around the world, exchanging roles in lawsuit frequently. Just take the iPhone 5 as example, if the iPhone 5 supports LTE network connectivity, it would infringe patent of Samsung on LTE, and Samsung is already for that as reported.

Well, let’s just take a look of the top 8 Samsung smartphones that infringe Apple’s patents and brings big amount of fine:

Galaxy S II has been sold out for more than 20 million units since it’s marketed. It has 5 versions in America, including T-Mobile and AT&T customized version. Samsung has to pay fine for every model, amounting up to 256.9 million dollars. The jury said the front panel is very similar to iPhone, while the back panel doesn’t violate Apple’s patent.

Samsung Mesmerize: Samsung Mesmerize is U.S. Cellular customized smartphone which is considered to violate iPhone’s front panel design patent. The jury also thinks the mobile phone owns too many similarities with iPhone on the main screen. Thus 531 million dollars are required.

6 features of Apple iPhone 5 that are most anticipated

The waiting for the Apple iPhone 5, ever since the release of iPhone 4, has been for so long a time that we may care more about what Apple iPhone 5 would bring to us. There were a lot of anticipations and speculations towards the Apple iPhone 5 since iPhone 4, like an advanced processor (A5), large screen display, edge-to-edge design, better battery, etc. Some have been realized in iPhone 4S, while still some other need to be realized in future Apple iPhones. Here, I have collected some features about Apple iPhone 5 that are most anticipated from people around the world and hopped to be included in the next generation of Apple iPhone, probably iPhone 5 or other codename. Check the following content to get the detailed things about Apple iPhone, as that might be the specific features of the next Apple iPhone. And feel free to show your own opinions on the next Apple iPhone in the comment part.

New redesign: With the iPhone 4S, we didn’t get the redesign that a lot of people were hoping for. But in the next generation of Apple iPhone, it’s almost certain we’ll get it with the iPhone 5. Will it be thinner, with a teardrop design? Look more like the iPad 2? Bigger screen? Well, all these seem to be possible on the next iPhone.

Better battery life: Battery life has been a big concern on smartphones. Every time Apple puts out a new iPhone, the battery life gets slightly better, so we expect no less from the sixth-generation iPhone.

4G network compatibility: With the development of 4G network connectivity, more and more smartphones are 4G network connectivity supported for faster speed on downloading. But on iPhone 4S, it in facts supports only a 3.5G network connectivity, other than a real 4G network connectivity. As many rivals of Apple iPhone start to support 4G, it’s firmly believed that the next iPhone would add 4G into its plan.

A6 processor: Apple iPhone 4s and its 3^rd generation of iPad have adopted 1GHz A5 processor for better processing performance. Many people anticipated an A6 processor on the next Apple iPhone. The A6 chip is reportedly a 28nm process (compared with the A5’s 45nm), meaning lower energy consumption and higher speeds. A faster processor would improve the performance of Siri, the iPhone 4S’ integrated voice assistant, as well as a host of other features, including still and video image capture, thus it is quite reasonable for people to look forward to an A6 processor.

Improved 3D graphics: Apple improves the graphics capabilities with each new iteration of the iPhone, with the iPhone 4S offering a big jump over the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S has the PowerVR SGX543MP found in the iPad 2, and we expect that the iPhone 5 will get the next-generation PowerVR chip, as the PowerVR SGX545 had been announced last year already.

NFC support: When the iPhone 4S was going to be released, there had been voices for the NFC (Near Field Communication technology), which finally was missed on iPhone 4S. Since many other smartphones have always added this technology and the mature of NFC technology, it’s great possible for Apple to add NFC support on Apple iPhone 5.

Motorola Droid Razr MAXX

There was a time when Motorola stood atop the mobile space with its Razr. And although it lost that position to Research In Motion and then Apple over the years, the company has made a strong resurgence with the Droid Razr MAXX. That offering comes with 4G LTE, a beautifully thin design, and upgradability to Android 4.0. Best of all, it has a 4.3-inch display, which is much bigger than the iPhone’s 3.5-inch option.

The LG Nitro HD sports a really nice 4.5-inch display with 720p resolution. Underneath its hood hums a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, and the 8-megapixel camera on its back can capture video at 1080p. Also, it is one of the few Android smartphones on AT&T’s lineup that can ride on the carrier’s 4G LTE network. In terms of software, the LG Nitro HD may come with Android 2.3 Gingerbread out of the box, but we expect to see an update to Ice Cream Sandwich at some point in the future.

Out of doubt, the Apple iPads have been top popular tablet among so many tablets in the existing electronic market. Especially since the new iPad comes out, which features the advanced Retina display to allow owners could even watch full HD Blu-ray movies on iPad with its 2048×1536 pixels HD screen resolution, the Apple iPads have attracted more eyes worldwide. The Apple iPads are certainly great buys for would-be mobile customers, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be replaced by other wonderful tablets, as every tablet would own their own advantages, either in screen display, processor, battery, camera, or price, an important element to help buyers make their decisions. In fact, there are a host of Android-based devices on store shelves right now that might just make Apple’s products far less appealing to both enterprise users and consumers.

Today, I would like to share a top 5 list of Android tablets which could be worthy of alternatives of Apple iPad for enterprise and individual mobility. The following devices might not all be able to stand up against the Apple iPad. But for those who don’t want to succumb to the Apple craze, these devices might just be worthwhile alternatives of Apple iPad. Check through the following listed alternatives to find out about Android tablets that might be worthy alternatives to the iPad. You’ll find more choices to choose.

Amazon Kindle Fire

Obviously, the Amazon Kindle Fire should be a choice for those who want an alternative to the new iPad. The device was claimed to be as a strong rival of Apple new iPad ever since its designing, not only in features, but in price as well. It comes with a 7-inch screen and just 8GB of storage, though, its access to Amazon services and the competitive $199 price tag makes it one worth considering.

Acer Iconia Tab A500

Check the specs of Acer Iconia Tab A500: Android Honeycomb, 10-inch capacitive LCD (1024 x 1280 pixel resolution), 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1GB RAM, 5 megapixel primary camera with autofocus and LED flash, secondary 2 megapixel camera for video calling, up to 8 hours battery life, microSD card support up to 32GB, 1080p HD video playback, HDMI port and Dolby Mobile surround sound.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is undoubtedly the best iPad alternative on the market right now. The device comes with a big, 10.1-inch screen and boasts 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connectivity. Though not featuring the same resolution as Apple’s Retina display, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 still enables users to have quite excellent visual effect on its 1280 x 800 pixels screen display.

Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

If the Amazon Kindle Fire is a worthwhile purchase, the Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet must be, as well. The Barnes & Noble NOOK Tablet is a 7-inch Android tablet with 7-inch touchscreen IPS display, Wi-Fi, 1GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Of course, another advantage of this tablet is also its price, which is the same as that of Kindle Fire.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

What’s not to like about the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime? On one hand, the device will allow customers to engage in typical tablet activities, but with the help of an additional physical keyboard, it can double as a notebook. That’s something Apple’s iPad and most other tablets just can’t do.

The ultimate versus battle in smartphones – HTC One S vs. Apple iPhone 4S

I have written some posts on the tablets comparison in the past month, including Apple iPad 3 vs. Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 and Apple iPad 3 vs. ASUS Transformer Prime. In the following posts, I would continue to bring some device comparison posts to all of you for deeper acknowledgement of various popular devices. And today, I would like to bring the battle of “S” series smartphones, the new HTC One S and the Apple iPhone 4S. No doubt, both smartphones are excellent candidates in nowadays smartphone market with strong competitiveness. The comparison here could also not mean which one is better or not, just as a reference for you when you want to make a choice between these two phones. The iPhone’s iOS and Android OS have different resource needs, though, so the comparison here would mainly focus on the interface, display, camera, multimedia, internet connectivity, price, etc., leaving the application stores aside. Well, here we go.

Camera: The camera interfaces of the 8MP cameras of the One S and the iPhone couldn’t be more different, but both phones have one thing in common – a sub-second camera when it comes to pressing the key, focusing and taking a shot. You can take pictures in the video’s 1920×1088 pixels resolution while filming with the HTC One S, which also for you to takes up to 99 consecutive shots when you hold the shutter button, at the speed of four shots a second. The iPhone 4S is pretty great for you to take pictures and shoot videos, especially with the excellent HDR mode turned on. But by comparsion, we found that the pics from the HTC One S slightly sharper and with more saturated colors compared to the iPhone 4S, making the scene look jollier than it actually was.

Display：The phone displays are pretty different in both size and tech on these two smartphones. The iPhone 4S comes with 3.5” Retina Display with its IPS-LCD technology and 640×960 resolution, meaning 326ppi pixel density, good colors, wide viewing angles, and high brightness. The Retina Display surely produces better visual effect for you to watch HD videos on iPhone 4S. On contract, the HTC One S features a 4.3” AMOLED display which sports 540×960 pixels resolution. Very obviously, the HTC One S becomes defeated by iPhone 4S in display.

Interface: The new Sense 4.0 version on HTC One S is less visually cluttered than the previous editions, resulting in snappy performance. Not that the dual-core processors on both the iPhone 4S and HTC One S, would have problems running any UI or 3rd party app you throw at them anyway. Both interfaces play their respective branding roles well. You can easily tell which one belongs to Apple iPhone or HTC One S.

Multimedia: An important element for users to decide which kind of smartphone should be bought. The HTC One S has Beats Audio branding, which works well by plumping the bass sound in headset mode. The iPhone 4S also needs a good pair of in-ear headphones to make full use of its excellent output sound. Another point is that the HTC One series play DivX/Xvid files up to 1080p with no problems, whereas you’d have to convert 1080P DivX/Xvid files for the iPhone 4S, or hit the App Store for a 3rd party player. And with the larger screen, higher contrast and more vivid colors, the HTC One S could produce a better video playback experience.

Internet connectivity: The HTC One S browser feels much choppier than the one on the iPhone 4S, mainly due to HTC’s overzealous text reflow at each zoom level, but is more functional with its support for Adobe Flash. HTC claimed its One S supports 42Mbps HSDPA for downloading, while the iPhone 4S with 21Mbps radio. Both smartphones have Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS and wireless media streaming capabilities, and with both you have to use dongles to connect to the HDMI port on your TV for mirroring the screens.

Price: The price plays important role in deciding which phone to choose. If you want to buy one from these two phones, you can go to their home sites for know how much each of them costs if you plan to buy online, otherwise you need to check them in market. The HTC One S is starting from about $550 without carrier subsidies, whereas the 16GB iPhone 4S can be had for $650 at Apple, or $600 at places like Amazon.
