Another day, another Samsung Galaxy S III rumor, iPhone 5 coming in June? UK Carriers begin selling the HTC One X and S.

The latest rumor making the rounds around the Internet is that Samsung is including a Super AMOLED Plus display which would allow the Galaxy S III to showcase its 4.65inch screen at 720p HD resolution. You may be wondering what in the world a smartphone 720p HD display even looks like, well here is a side by side comparison.

The difference between the two is very clear and quite stunning.

With that being said, we can most likely expect the Samsung Galaxy III to be hitting stores sometime in May as AsiaE has reported that carrier testing is currently underway.

Are you ready for the Samsung Galaxy III? We know we are.

Goin’ mobile

Believe it: Smartphones about to get even smarter

by George Heymann | @techeadlines

Special to the Chieftain

There are now more than 100 million smartphone users in the United States, according to the latest comScore report.

But even as smartphone use increases, the devices are undergoing dramatic — and speedy —evolution. Here’s a look at several prominent mobile trends that are emerging:

Smartphones are featuring ever-faster processors, Dual-core processors once reserved for the latest super phones are now standard fare on many smartphones. By the end of 2012, manufacturers will need to include a quad-core processor to be considered a high-end mobile device.

Large, high-resolution touchscreens are also in high demand on the latest smartphones and tablets. Not long ago, a 4-inch screen on a smartphone was considered large; today, 4-inch-plus screens are fairly common, with a couple of models topping 5 inches and featuring high-resolution, 1280 x 800 pixel displays.

Customers lucky enough to be grandfathered in for the unlimited data plan and using 3G or 4G (HSPA+) smartphones, your data will be throttled after 3GB of usage. Customers who are using 4G (LTE) smartphones, data throttling begins at 5GB of usage.

LG announces its initial Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade roadmap

LG announced its preliminary roadmap today for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) upgrades on its Facebook page for high-end LG smartphones which were introduced earlier this year.

The initial handsets include: the Optimus 2X, Optimus Black, Optimus 3D and the Optimus LTE. The LG post explains that they are continuing to evaluate the performance of other LG smartphones to make ICS OS available on as many LG smartphones as possible.

LG is promising to update its Facebook again in December with its planned upgrade schedule and additional specific models that will be eligible for the ICS upgrade. Although they did not specifically state it, I expect that carrier specific variants of the already announced models will also be included, for example the LG G2x, the T-Mobile version of the Optimus 2X should be supported.

Blue + Magenta = Green; AT&T to buy T-Mobile USA for 39 Billion

by George Heymann

techeadlines@gmail.com

AT&T buys T-Mobile USA for a reported $39 billion. If approved by government regulators, the deal would make AT&T the largest U.S. carrier.

In hindsight, the acquisition makes a lot of sense for AT&T as AT&T and T-Mobile both use complimentary GSM technology and are building out their HSPA+ networks. In addition, AT&T is planning to use T-Mobile’s existing 1700 MHZ spectrum to supplement its ongoing 4G LTE build out.

After T-Mobile quelled speculation of a rumored Sprint Merger, the company inked a deal with AT&T for $25 billion in cash and $14 billion in stock, giving T-Mobile’s parent company Deutsche Telekom an approximately 8 percent stake in AT&T. The transaction is expected to close within 12 months.

Press Release after the break.
