Samsung GT-N5100 (Galaxy Note 7) Benchmark Appears

The Samsung Galaxy Note family is one that has yielded surprising results since its inception, and you can say that it has certainly grown from strength to strength, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 being quite the success. Well, an upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note tablet is certainly in the works, where sometime in late october, there was a DLNA certification that pointed in the right direction, followed by a User Agent Profile (UAP) that touted a 1280 x 800 resolution count on the Samsung GT-N5100 (or Samsung Galaxy Note 7) as it is known. Fast forward to this month, and the Samsung GT-N5100 appeared on the Nenamark2 benchmark site, followed by an appearance on the GLBenchmark site this time around.

The clever use (or should we say, logical) of "N" designates a Note tablet, and the 7-inch display makes this known for the moment as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, although it remains as an unannounced device on an official basis.

There is nothing quite like a little bit of sleuthing around to uncover additional details about the Samsung GT-N5100, and it seems that the Galaxy Note 7 will run on a 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 processor, where it is accompanied by a resolution count of 1280 x 800 pixels with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on board. This would mean it has a similar resolution to that of the Google Nexus 7, resulting in a pixel density of 216ppi.

We do hope to hear more about the Samsung GT-N5100 (Galaxy Note 7) in the immediate future, considering how CES 2013 and MWC 2013 are just around the corner in January and February, respectively. It looks like the 7” tablet market is heating up, so much for it being dead upon arrival, Mr. Jobs.

Galaxy S2 Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Update Delayed

Samsung’s Galaxy S2 might not be the newest smartphone on the block, but that does not mean it is a pushover either, and it deserves to receive the latest operating system updates. The thing is, we have just gotten word that the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update has been delayed yet again, and it is certainly trying the patience of Galaxy S2 owners everywhere.

First of all, to get some context, Samsung Sweden reported in October this year that Samsung will be rolling out the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S2 this coming November. We all know that November has come and gone, and we are at the tail end of the year already, with no Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean in sight either.

This is after Samsung Sweden played deity and shifted the date from November to December, and then January 2013 was the latest cited date. Perhaps the folks over at Samsung Sweden were a little tipsy, but we wished that they did not get false hopes lighted up like that.

Perhaps the delay in Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S2 has something to do with the loopholes and vulnerabilities found in Samsung’s Exynos processor, hence the more pressing need to patch up these loopholes before such a firmware could be released. Either way, it seems that this Christmas will not see the latest Jelly Bean version running on your Galaxy S2, and you will just have to wait it out until the new year comes by.

Is patience your strong suit?
