Posted: 27 Feb 2015 08:22 AM PST

Panasonic is still not a major smartphone name across the globe, but the company does great business in Japan, where it is even above Samsung in terms of market share. The company is looking to expand into other regions, and I am excited to see the high-end CM-1 (with a 1-inch camera sensor) in the US this fall (even if it is $1000). The company has something more affordable lined up too in the form of the Eluga U2.

Galaxy S6 Edge Dual Screens for Aesthetics Only

Posted: 27 Feb 2015 06:46 AM PST

This is one of those rumors that we hope will not come to be true. Reports in Korea are suggesting that the Galaxy S6 Edge that Samsung will launch on Sunday alongside the Galaxy S6 flagship will actually be called the Galaxy S Dual Edge and will feature two side screens and not just one. All good so far, but now things get a bit disappointing as those dual screens will apparently have little functionality and will be mostly for aesthetic purposes.

Posted: 26 Feb 2015 02:41 PM PST

While Google is a dominant name globally, the company is not as powerful in China. Yes, its Android platform is the most used OS in the country, but many of the devices running Android in China are forked and not linked to Google's services (the way the company makes money from Android).

Samsung Freezes Employee Salaries

Posted: 26 Feb 2015 02:11 PM PST

I have written before that the continuing decline in Samsung's smartphone business will ultimately have an impact on the company's employees.

Apple's first wearable, the Apple Watch, was announced back in September, but the company left plenty disappointed by saying the actual launch of the product would not happen until 2015.
