'Sudden Death' Problems on the Samsung Galaxy S III

Samsung has rumored to secretly have given a replacement of smartphone Galaxy S III to some of its users. Why?

As discussed at the XDA Developer Forum, Samsung reportedly has replaced the Galaxy S III to its users, because of the damage that can led the Galaxy S III to die suddenly.

According to the report users were damaged, mostly owned Galaxy S III is used after 150-200 days of their purchase. While the destruction of NAND impact on the dead of Galaxy S III mainboard, this is pointed out as the cause of Samsung's smartphone Galaxy S III  can no longer be used.

The users of Galaxy S III at XDA Developers forum and Reddit did say that Samsung has replaced the defective smartphone with the new Galaxy S III. However, considering the given replacement smartphone Samsung has not undergone revision in hardware, allegedly Galaxy S III replacement was also potentially experience the same thing after other 200 days of using.

What Samsung do on this issue that happening on its flagship smartphone, unfortunately this can not be obtained for now, that because the Korean vendor was not given an official statement on this issue.

Defeat Nokia, Samsung ‘Rule’ the Global Mobile Phone Market

Managed to dominate the smartphone market in some time ago, on the whole Samsung has now managed to become the number one vendor in the global mobile market. Samsung achieved what it was, then make a position displaced from the throne vendor Nokia mobile phones with the most sales.

As quoted via TechRadar, globally in 2012, Samsung managed to achieve 29% market share of the mobile device, an increase than the previous year which only have 24%.

From the statistical data issued by research firm IHS iSuppli, Nokia which in 2011 managed to earn 30% market share, this year experienced a 24% decline.

Apple managed to achieve 10% market share globally, successfully pushed to third position. Interestingly, unlike other manufacturers who deliver devices with diverse segments, Apple is only present in the upper middle class through his iPhone only.

In consecutive years, ZTE and LG, respectively fourth and fifth position, which stood at market share 6% for ZTE and 4% for LG.

For the overall, global smartphone shipments are expected to rise about 35.5% this year. Smartphones also managed to obtain 47% of all mobile devices shipped this year, up from the previous year which only reached 35%.

With the enormous growth this year, I wonder if many analysts who argue that the year 2012 is the year of smartphones.

In 2013, Samsung Ready to Production AMOLED HD 1080p Super Panel

Been informed previously that many vendors will manufacture super large screens in 2013. And, it turns out there is one certainty of Samsung, which it said it will begin production of super AMOLED HD 1080p masse in 2013.

Amazing is not it, considering that such a panel would have a resolution of 1920 x 1080p, which when translated means the screen will have a density of more than 400p. And, all that can be realized depending on the screen size will be implemented.

On the screen, Samsung plans to use AMOLED technology, and not the kind mounted LCD as HTC J Butterfly as the first smartphone pioneer who wear these super-resolution screen.

Interestingly, according to recent reports, Samsung is now even being lobbied to use the screen LCD 1080p made ​​by LG Display or Japan Display. The offer was made, because Samsung has known to have problems in the production of AMOLED screens with a huge pixel density. In fact, until the given samples to be studied and considered to be used in future devices. However, Samsung refused.

If in the end Super AMOLED HD screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels is established, Samsung is believed to still be experiencing difficulties in achieving production targets. To increase production capacity, Samsung Display will rely on a modified version of the manufacturing process FMM (Fine Metal Mask). Not yet certain whether it will actually be realized this super screen, to be applied on the Samsung Galaxy S IV for example. We wait.

Samsung Galaxy S III Will Get Feature Multi-View?

The new feature "Multi-View" is given for the Samsung Galaxy Note II got a pretty good response from potential customers. Support multi-view is basically to increase the use of the maximum productivity for its users, which is able to display the page and view the different windows in a single screen.

According to rumors at this time, it looks like Samsung does not want to limit the new feature is only for the version of the Galaxy Note only. As a result there are indications that support multi-view was going to land on Samsung Galaxy S III, which is reportedly in the process. And, this might indicate that the software update as Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in December will be a reality.

Of course, with the newer firmware will be making the Galaxy S III is more stable than the current state, in order to the presence of multi-view feature. Just, hopefully with a smaller screen (compared to the Galaxy Note), there would be significant obstacles in multi-view action. Because, logically bigger screens increasingly convenient to carry out multi-window display. For this, it is better we wait for official information from the Samsung.
