The Samsung made Nexus 10 and Galaxy Nexus (HSPA) starts getting the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update


The Samsung-made Nexus 10 and the Galaxy Nexus are also getting the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update along side the Nexus 4 and the original Nexus 7. The update will come and will be administered via OTA and Google has started pushing it across the globe.  So for those of you Samsung users who own these devices should probably start checking it manually if it has not yet come to you via a notification. For those own a Nexus 10 might want to check the "Restricted Profiles" feature that Google has for you. For more info of Android 4.3 JB, you can click the link above. Enjoy!

Samsung starts producing their 3GB LPDDR3 RAMs for mobile devices


Remember this news? If not, then good. This post would com as a disappointment if you knew Samsung announced that they will be producing 4G LPDDR3 RAMs for mobile devices. Apparently, with this post, Samsung actually, instead of a 4G, has started mass producing 3GB LPDDR3 RAMs. Still this is a first in the industry and for those who are anxious in waiting for the Galaxy Note III's announcement might be in for a real treat if Samsung decides to stuff these into the phablet. But anyway, the news for today is about these RAMs. Mass producing any component for mobile devices will always be a landmark for things to come in the future. So yup! I know you are excited, so am I. All rumors point to a September announcement of the phablet and as always I will be blogging about it if it does happen.

The Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420 officially unveiled


It is pretty disappointing that the world's first 8-core mobile processor wasn't really a good one when it was discovered to have faulty design making the whole thing useless. Whilst Samsung Electronics denied that the Exynos 5 Octa 5410 had design issues and if they did do something to "repair" that fault would mean that their factories should also be redesigned for mass producing it (these are the news I was able to read on back when the issue was still hot on the iron). Samsung kept on denying that but it was evident that the system on chip is faulty because I do not think there is a Samsung Galaxy S 4 IV today that is being sold (officially) in a market that is being powered by the Exynos 5 Octa 5410. If there are, then I am pretty sure those are devices that got out of their hands. But anyway, the good thing is, Samsung has done something on that and made the processor even more powerful. Ladies and gentlemen, the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5420.
