- Voyager Mobile shakes off network issues, launches a few days behind schedule
It’s tough being the new kid in town — ask Voyager Mobile, an up and coming MVNO that had its launch delayed by a “malicious network attack” last week. The tenacious firm may have missed its planned May 15th launch, but managed to pull things together in time for the weekend, piggybacking unlimited talk, text and data off of Sprint’s CDMA and WiMAX network for $40 a month. A basic unlimited voice plan is also available to the tune of $20, without data allowances, of course. Phones are available too, albeit without subsidies — Samsung’s Epic 4G Touch or Galaxy S II will each set you back $550, though an assortment of more affordable devices can be had from $120 and up. Tempted to jump ship? Check out the source link below and let all your MVNO dreams come true.

Voyager Mobile | Email this | Comments - Customs slowly letting HTC handsets into the US, can’t say which ones
Still waiting for your HTC handset to make its way through customs? Ratchet your hopes just a smidge higher, because the company says it’s making progress. “Some models have gone through inspection and been released to our carriers customers,” the firm stated in an investor statement today. HTC explained that each of the contested models needs to be reviewed by officials before release, and assures customers that it is working with customs to speed along the process. Which devices are making it through? “We don’t have the status of each specific device at this time,” HTC says, “We remain confident that this issue will be resolved soon.” Sure, that’s not much to go off of, but we’ll take what we can get.

- NVIDIA outs budget GeForce GT 610, GT 620 and GT 630, no Kepler in any of ’em
Look out, savvy graphics card buyer: just because it’s labelled ‘GeForce’ and starts with a ‘6’ doesn’t necessarily mean it benefits from NVIDIA’s premium 28nm Kepler architecture. We’ve already seen rebadged mobile chips with last-gen 40nm silicon, and now entry-level desktop cards are arriving on shelves that will stretch Fermi’s expiry date even further. There are no price tags as yet, but according to AnandTech the ‘new’ GeForce GT 610 is a repackaged GT 520 with 48 CUDA cores and an ever-so-polite 29-watt power draw. The GT 620 is a GT 530 with a 49-watt TDP and twice as many CUDA cores as the 610 — although a meager 64-bit memory bus will put a cap on any performance gains. Finally, the GT 630 is a 65-watt GT 440 in all but name, with a 128-bit memory bus width allowing its 96 CUDA cores to be fully exploited. This latter card shouldn’t be confused with the OEM version of the GT 630, which does actually pack Kepler. Bewildering, right? We’ve quizzed NVIDIA over its strange rebadging tradition and were told that the company simply numbers its products according to raw performance, rather than freshness or chip type — which sort of makes sense so long as you don’t dwell on it.

Weekly poll: are you getting a Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra or are you sitting this one out?
Pre-orders for Samsung’s Galaxy S21 trio went live this Friday. You can check this article for the prices of the three flagships in the US, Europe and India. Keep in mind that pre-orders get freebies and if you don’t want a TWS headset and a smart tag, you can wait a bit after sales start for the prices to drop. Or maybe you’re no going to buy an S21 at all, that’s what we want to ask you today. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G feels is definitely the one that got the most upgrades. It has an improved 108MP sensor, a longer 10x periscope and a 3x telephoto lens for mid-range zoom, plus...
Weekly poll results: The ideal display is a flat 120Hz panel of 1080p resolution
The Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ got downgraded to flat 1080p+ displays, while the S20 and S20+ had curvy 1440p+ displays. “Downgrade” may not be the right word here because last week’s poll shows that Samsung has done its homework. We split up resolution, refresh rate and screen geometry into three separate polls to allow for various combinations. In all three cases the winning option collected about two thirds of the vote. High refresh rate vs. high resolution • Curved screens vs. flat screens Putting that together shows that the majority prefers flat displays with 1080p...
Samsung Galaxy S21 series vs Galaxy S20 series - the upgrades detailed
Samsung introduced its Galaxy S21 lineup earlier this week - a vanilla Galaxy S21, a plus model that provides largely the same internals in a larger package and the Ultra that has a strong claim for the throne of the ultimate cameraphone. We already compared the three new phones, but now it's time to look at the upgrades they bring over the outgoing Galaxy S20 family. div.upgradeprice { display: table; width: calc(100% - 10px); margin-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 10px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-left: none; border-right: none; } .review-body...
