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.
We published multiple exclusives, giving our readers hardware details on the Galaxy Note 4, and high-resolution pictures of the Galaxy S5 Mini and the Galaxy Tab S, along with benchmark details of the former. Reports came in suggesting that Samsung is working on a foldable tablet for a 2015 launch, and is looking at mass producing Quantum Dot LCD displays later this year. On the software side, Android 4.4.2 KitKat rolled out to the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 in the US, making it the first budget tablet from the Korean manufacturer to be updated to the latest version of the OS.
Here’s the full rundown:
- • Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 breakdown, SM-G906 clarification
