Update: Samsung Galaxy Nexus sales ban lifted by temporary stay on the handset injunction

In an unexpected turn of events, Samsung has been granted a temporary stay on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus injunction which allows the device to be sold until July 12th. Judge Lucy Koh issued the temporary stay  as the courts awaits to hear “Apple’s response.” If you’re a bit confused, you’re not the only one. Details are still vague and it seems no one knows what Apple needs to respond about. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is still listed as “coming soon” on Google Play, but we could see the device reappear on the store before the handset’s Android 4.1 update is in place which is expected to remove the infringing universal search capability from the handset.
Update: We’ve just heard that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now available on Google Play. While the handset can be purchased, the shipping estimate is listed at 1-2 weeks. It seems Google is still intent on having Android 4.1 installed on the Galaxy Nexus even though Samsung has been granted a temporary stay on the injunction.

Apple's attempt to ban the sales of the Galaxy S III get delayed

Last week we reported that Apple was attempting to block the sales of the new Galaxy S III in the US before the June 21 launch date. The reason for this, as usual, is that Apple thinks that Samsung is infringing on some of its patents with the Galaxy S III.

Well, there is a bit of bad news for Cupertino, as Judge Lucy Koh has denied a hearing before June 21 as it would effectively overload her calendar. Instead, Apple will now have to request for a second hearing some time after June 21, by which time the Galaxy S III would already be on sale in the US.

Apple is likely not going to give up on this despite the setback but their plans to block the sales of the Galaxy S III before June 21 have certainly been foiled.

Internal HTC sales sheet claims the One X bests the Samsung Galaxy S III

It’s no secret that HTC and Samsung have released the two most exciting Android phones this year. The HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S III will be the most sought-after handsets this summer, but consumers are going to have a hard time deciding which one is the best for them. Fortunately, HTC has put together “special packs” for its sales team which compares the two devices. I’m sure you can guess which One came out on top.

HTC’s matchup between the two phones has a few solid points, but we can’t help but smile when HTC labels the design of the Samsung Galaxy S III as “disappointing” and that its display is “dull” or has a lower density than that of the One X.

Below are some of the highlights from HTC’s comparison of the One X and Galaxy S III

70% better quality with f2.0Faster: 4fps/99 shotFaster startup: 0.7sPoor low light with f2.6Slower: 3fps/20shotsSlower startup: 0.99secBrighter & cleaner, higher density

HTC’s sales sheet claims that despite being 0.3mm thicker than the Samsung Galaxy S III, the HTC One X is lighter and feels slimmer than its competitor. HTC counterpoint for the Galaxy S III’s removable battery is that the One X can last a full day on a single charge. they could have left it at that, but they go on to say that having a second battery is a huge hassle due to the need to have a separate battery charger “which is often impractical, especially when traveling.”

But the best counterpoint on the list is when HTC compares the Samsung galaxy S III’s microSD card slot to the 32GB of internal storage and 25GB of DropBox cloud storage available to One X owners. Apparently, someone at HTC didn’t get the memo that the Samsung Galaxy S III can be purchased with 16, 32, or 64 GB of internal storage in addition to 50GB of DropBox cloud storage while still giving consumers the option to add more with a microSD card at any time.

Personally, I agree with many of the points that HTC highlights in its sales sheet. On paper, it’s extremely hard to compare the two devices and pick a clear winner.

Do you argree with HTC? Is the HTC One X better than the Samsung Galaxy S III? Let us know which features or specs have the most influence on your purchasing decisions and which phone you will purchase this summer.
