Samsung Not Interested In Firefox OS

(GSM Insider) - Samsung Not Interested In Firefox OS.

Firefox OS from Mozilla is one of the main characters at the Mobile World Congress 2013. ZTE Open and Alcatel One Touch Fire are the Firefox OS devices that were unveiled at the event. 

With Sony, LG and Huawei set to release Firefox OS devices in the future, world's largest smartphone maker isn't interested in this platform. According to Samsung exec at the MWC 2013, Samsung isn't interested in the Firefox OS. 

Perhaps the decision from Samsung is understandable. This is because Samsung has its own Tizen operating system on hands. Furthermore, Samsung has Android and Windows Phone for its smartphone lineup. It isn't a wise move if Samsung opted for another platform.

Samsung Confirms Launch Date Of Galaxy S4 Falls On March 14, In New York

(GSM Insider) - Samsung Confirms Launch Date Of Galaxy S4 Falls On March 14, In New York.

It was a rumor. It wasn't a rumor. Finally, the March 14th launch date is no longer rumor for the launch of Samsung Galaxy S4. Its the official launch date of Samsung Galaxy S4.

"We introduced the Galaxy S III in London last year, and this time we changed the venue (to New York)... as we were bombarded with requests from U.S. mobile carriers to unveil the Galaxy S IV in the country," Samsung Electronics' mobile division chief JK Shin was quoted as saying on the Edaily news website.

Seems like Samsung takes on the Apple in its home country, the United States. Last year, the Samsung Galaxy S3 was unveiled in London at the Unpacked 2012. Is Apple feeling the heat from Samsung or Apple continues to dominate the United States market?

NVIDIA Tegra 4 Blows Away Snapdragon 600 And Exynos 4412 In Multiple Benchmark Tests

(GSM Insider) - NVIDIA Tegra 4 Blows Away Snapdragon 600 And Exynos 4412 In Multiple Benchmark Tests.

NVIDIA Tegra 4 isn't powerful? At least the benchmark results showed that the Tegra 4 is more powerful than the red hot Snapdragon 600 from Qualcomm. 



When NVIDIA launched the Tegra 4, it's being described as the world's fastest mobile processor. Of course during that time, the Snapdragon 600, Snapdragon 800 and Exynos 5 Octa are yet to announce. Let's see how NVIDIA Tegra 4 goes head to head with Snapdragon 600, Tegra 3, Snapdragon S4 Pro and Exynos 4412. Basically, all these processors are quad-core. 

The NVIDIA Tegra 4 scores the impressive 36,489 points at the AnTuTu Benchmark that far ahead of nearest rival Snapdragon 600. The Snapdragon 600 scores 22,678 points at the AnTuTu Benchmark. The Tegra 3 scores 16,091 points, the Snapdragon S4 Pro scores 11,217 points and the Exynos 4412 scores only 6673 points. However, the Samsung Galaxy S3 might not be the global version that features Exynos 4412 and it could be the dual-core version in the United States.

Basically, the NVIDIA Tegra 4 is far ahead of its nearest rival Snapdragon. No Tegra 4 powered device yet but Snapdragon 600 already has two devices powered by it. HTC One and LG Optimus G Pro are two devices that powered by the Snapdragon 600 to-date. 

Of course Qualcomm and Samsung don't need to worry so much about the Tegra 4. Qualcomm still has the Snapdragon 800 while Samsung has the Exynos 5 Octa that's said to be much faster than the Tegra 4. On the other hand, the users don't need to worry about the benchmark scores as well. This is because benchmark doesn't represent anything but just the specs.
