Samsung Galaxy Gear said to be lacking something special Sep 26th 2013, 16:50, by Robert Nelson The Galaxy Gear has yet to arrive in the hands of the public and if this one unnamed Samsung executive continues talking, potential buyers may begin looking elsewhere for their smartwatch needs. The details are coming by way of the Korea Times where that executive admitted that the Galaxy Gear currently “lacks something special.” This of course, comes despite other executives talking about how the watch has been “receiving warm response.” Anyway, that unnamed executive then went on to talk about how “with more investment for user interface and user experience, Samsung devices will be better in terms of customer satisfaction.” For this is looks like Samsung has plans to hire some UI and UX experts in an effort to bring up the overall level of satisfaction. Samsung has yet to announce any sort of sales goals for the smartwatch, however Lee Young-hee executive vice-president for marketing has said the Galaxy Gear is a “wow product” and one that is “wholly new” and a “must-have accessory.” As you may have guessed, Young-hee was also the same person that said it had been getting a warm response. Young-hee also touched on those earlier rumors about how Samsung was already wrong on a second generation Galaxy Gear. As one may have expected, he denied the rumor. Otherwise, while there appears to be some mixed comments coming from Samsung in terms of the Galaxy Gear, there does appear to be some good news for those who are hoping to use it with something aside from the Galaxy Note 3. Further details coming from this Korea Times report talk about the watch getting support for the Galaxy S 4 in October and for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note 2 by the end of December. With that in mind, we also have some initial hands-on coverage from earlier in the month when Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear as well as the 2014 Edition Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. VIA: unwired view Story Timeline Samsung Galaxy Gear has 12 apps at launch, over 70 in the works Samsung Galaxy Note III and Galaxy Gear landing on T-Mobile, AT&T next month Snapchat Micro app arriving for Samsung Galaxy Gear users Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 tipped to already be in development AT&T Samsung Galaxy Gear up for pre-order at midnight HTC One Max images revealed as device gets certified for use in China Sep 26th 2013, 15:45, by Robert Nelson There have been plenty of image and spec leaks for the HTC One Max up until this point, however it seems as if we are now getting to see some slightly more official images. We should clarify that these images haven’t come by way of HTC though. Instead they have arrived by way of the Chinese Tenaa, which is basically the same as the FCC from the US. That said, this time around we are seeing the front and back as well as the left and right sides of the handset. And as we had been seeing — the fingerprint scanner is still being shown. This Tenaa filing shows approval for two models — the 8060 and 809d with the differences being carrier support. The 809d has support for China Telecom which requires the use of CDMA. Perhaps slightly more important here, both of these models have dual-SIM support. These models are also expected to be a bit different from what will arrive outside of China. For example, both of these handsets have a removable back panel which will provide access to those SIM card slots. Despite the back panel being removable, the One Max will not have a removable battery. As US model of the One Max would be expected to arrive with a non-removable back panel and a SIM card slot on the side of the handset. Otherwise, this filing also points towards the following in terms of specs; 5.9-inch 1080p display, quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, microSD card slot, 3300 mAh battery, 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera and a 4 megapixel UltraPixel camera on the backside. All that said, these images from Tenaa do seem to match up with what we have been seeing in the leaks and at this point in time the rumors are still pointing towards an October announcement.
