Security in smartphones has been one of the major concerns till date. The fear and concern keeps on growing with the same especially the same has happened with Samsung Galaxy Devices. The security loopholes have made Samsung to look out for third party security provider and so as per one report, A Canadian company named Absolute Software has been assigned a project to develop a software which will allow tracking of stolen mobile devices in the Galaxy range of products for Samsung Electronics. 

As per the Absolute Chief Executive John Livingston, the deal would pave the way for future deals with employers that want to use the software to track and secure mobile devices and laptops. 

Absolute anti-theft and data protection technology will be embedded in the core software of Galaxy mobile devices. Users signing up for the services of Absolute software, can easily maintain connection with their device, regardless of user or location. Users can receive alerts, maintain compliance with corporate and government regulations and investigate security incidents as well as recover stolen devices.

The stage is all set. Just 10 more days to go before the final unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy S4. But prior to the official release of the Samsung Galaxy S4, we have this first teaser video coming from Samsung which does look very exciting to me. The teaser video is titled -  [Samsung UNPACKED] Be ready 4 the next Galaxy.

The teaser video shows a boy named Jeremey who as per Samsung will be the secret messenger to the official Samsung Galaxy S4 unpacked event. Jeremy is shown a box which is believed to contain Galaxy S4. He carries the box and runs to his house...where he sits on his desk and the video ends with..."To be continued".

I am sure you will enjoy the video. Samsung has already sent invitations for Galaxy S4 unpacked event which is to be held in NewYork City on March 14. The event has the tagline - "Be Ready 4 the Next Galaxy."

Its Samsung again and this time we have these leaked images believed to be from the much awaited Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch. Though Galaxy Smartwatch is still a mystery, these images do provide a glimpse of the same. 

You can see in the image that Altius name is showing. Actually the center part of the image says Altius, the code on the right-hand top corner says Altios. Altius was earlier believed to be codename for Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch but infact, it is supposed to be the codename for the upcoming Galaxy S4. As with all other Samsung Galaxy devices, Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch is also powered by Android. The user interface looks quite different from what company has been following with its Galaxy series.

Well, we have very little details at this moment. More details on purported Galaxy Watch is likely to be revealed on Mar15, 2013 when Samsung will stage an event to let users know more about its new products..!

Good news for Samsung phone buyers in India. Two of the Samsung's most popular smartphones, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 are getting price cuts here in India. Now, both the smartphones are available at a price much lower than their official cost. 

Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB is now available at Rs 29,480 while at some places, the same is available ar Rs 27,499. The phone was launched officially in May2012 at the price tag of Rs.43,000 and from then till date, it has been one of the top sellers in smartphones. Over 30 million Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphones have been sold till date. The last price cut for Galaxy S3 was made in Dec2012.

One the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is now available at Rs 35,600 while it was originally launched at a price tag of Rs 39,900. Some online retailers are retailing the device for Rs 34,900. No doubt, Note 2 is another successful Android device from Samsung. Within two months of its launch, Note 2 sales rose to 5 million mark worldwide...an amazing feat !!

A question comes to the mind - Why price cuts from Samsung all of a sudden? 

One of the major reasons for the same is the sudden spurt in the sales of Apple products in India. Apple fetched a sale of over 300% in last 3 months in India which is what could be a matter of concern for Samsung and other mobile vendors in India. Apple is getting aggressive with its extensive advertising and marketing campaign for its iPhone and has started selling its iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 with EMI options thus making it a lot easier for people to buy the same.

Apple is also planning to launch iPhone 5S in the middle of this year....that could really heat up the competition...!!
