Samsung's Gear S smartwatch is just too big
Samsung Electronics is experimenting with different shapes and sizes on its smartwatches, but with the Tizen-based Gear S it has gone overboard. The Gear S doesn't need a smartphone to function, thanks to its integrated 3G SIM card and network connection. It's powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor and has a curved 2-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 480 by 360 pixel resolution. The screen size makes it bigger than previous smartwatches from Samsung and its competitors. For example, the Gear Live has a 1.63-inch screen and LG's new G Watch R has a 1.3-inch screen. Going with a bigger screen lets the company show more information in one go and, for a company that has based its fortunes on smartphones with large screens, its an easy route to take.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

The company failed to convince the court that people were buying Samsung products because of the infringing features, she said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Samsung walks the edge: Introducing the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge

No prices have been supplied yet. I attended Samsung's press event this morning, and after hearing the announcements of the three devices -- and of some services, including an expansion of Samsung's Milk Music -- we were allowed to try them out.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
