There’s a lot of stuff that happens in the mobile industry, something that is especially true when it comes to giants like Samsung. If you missed out on some (or all) of what happened in the last 24 hours or so, well, here’s a recap of all the big things that went down.
We published exclusive details on Samsung's upcoming virtual reality headset, and confirmed that it will be launched alongside the Galaxy Note 4 in September. Samsung released its earnings report, revealing a profit of $7.1 billion, a wee bit less than what analysts had expected.
The Verizon variant of the Galaxy Note PRO 12.2 received an update, with various bug fixes, app updates, and minor interface changes. Samsung's Android Wear smartwatch, the Gear Live, was torn down by the experts at iFixit and was found easy to repair, with an unused Wi-Fi chip hiding inside.
Here’s the full rundown:
- • Exclusive: Samsung’s virtual reality headset will be called Gear VR, launch at IFA 2014
- • Samsung's second quarter earnings figures miss analysts expectations
- • Buy the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A from 28mobile.com
- • Verizon's Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 getting a minor update with bug fixes
- • Samsung Gear Live gets torn down by iFixit, has a Wi-Fi chip inside for some reason
