Samsung May Drop Qualcomm's Snapdragon Chip in Next Galaxy S Phone
Samsung may be planning to dump Qualcomm's processor from its next Galaxy S flagship smartphone, opting to use its own Exynos chips instead. Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Samsung, the world's biggest smartphone maker, won't be using the Snapdragon 810 chip from Qualcomm, the world's biggest maker of smartphone chips, in the new device due to the processor overheating during Samsung's testing. Samsung is widely predicted to unveil a new Galaxy S phone at the Mobile World Congress show in March. vIf the report is accurate, the change could be a significant blow to Qualcomm, with the potential of losing a high-profile design win in a flagship Samsung phone. Such a Samsung decision could then make it harder for Qualcomm to sell the new 810 chip, which was made for use in high-end mobile devices, just as Qualcomm is starting to market it.

Samsung's Tizen Smartphone Makes Poor First Impression in India
Samsung's first smartphone to run on its own operating system received a frosty welcome after its launch in India, with reviewers and consumers criticizing its low-resolution cameras and dearth of software applications. The South Korean giant's latest handset stands out not so much for its no-frills specifications but for what lies under the hood - the Tizen operating system Samsung has developed to rival Google's Android platform. Samsung is hoping the Z1 will catch on in the world's third-largest smartphone market, boosting its flagging global market share and gaining a foothold for Tizen among India's first-time smartphone buyers. IDC analyst Karan Thakkar said that although the Z1's $92 price tag beat many of the best-known Android phones on cost, it still had plenty of strong competitors in the low-end segment.
