SamMobile Recap: WQHD Super AMOLED explained, Samsung factory robbed, and more

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.

Samsung gave us a detailed insight on its new WQHD (2560×1440) display, which debuted on the Galaxy S5 LTE-A.
