The Galaxy Round's curved display does offer a few benefits, but they're mostly just related to passive usage, i.e. looking at and viewing content on the screen. However, the first “flexible” display-toting smartphone Samsung showed us way back in January this year did have practical use, such as showing the time and date on the […]
Was the Galaxy Camera, Samsung's first Android-based camera, a success? Did it sell well enough to justify or recoup the costs of developing the device? These are some of the questions we'll probably never get an answer to, and while we personally believe it was a failed experiment, Samsung doesn't run its business based on […]
Well, 2013 is still a couple of months away from making way for 2014, but Samsung feels it's time to look back on what it has achieved in this rather eventful year for mobile technology.

Right when we had almost pushed Samsung's regional lock policy – which debuted on the Galaxy Note 3 – out of our minds, we're getting a nice little refresher that will keep it haunting us for some time to come. Yes, Samsung isn't backing down and throwing the whole practice of regional locking down the […]
Apple and Samsung are at it again. Sparks are flying from both directions in a retrial that will decide how much damages Samsung will pay to the Cupertino company, over the $600 million that was earlier supposed to be awared to Apple.

Well, it looks like Samsung may have skipped properly testing the Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S III in a bid to get it out there as soon as possible. The update, which started rolling out to unlocked international variants of the S III today and to Vodafone-branded handsets a few days ago, is […]

Well, it certainly seems to be the day when the Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S III will begin heading out to users all across the world. The S III only recently started receiving the Android 4.3 update for the international unlocked variant in the UK, and now the update is rolling out to […]
When a smartphone's successor comes along with a “Plus” in its name, it stands to reason that it will have upgraded internals at least in some aspects.

Update: Looks like the update is causing a few issues, so it would be a good idea to read this and refrain from updating for the time being. It's been a painfully long wait for the Android 4.3 update for Galaxy S III owners, and while the update began rolling out for the S III […]
The AT&T variant of the Galaxy Note 3 is receiving a minor over-the-air update today according to users, following an update for the Verizon variant a few days back.

Android 4.4 KitKat was unveiled almost two weeks ago, but the actual update hasn't started rolling out for any Nexus device yet (let alone any non-Nexus device). But that will be changing in a few hours today, as Google has announced that the Android 4.4 update will begin streaming down to the Nexus 10. There's […]
Samsung might be looking towards making Tizen a force to reckon with in the mobile industry (and also the automobile and other sectors), but constant delays mean we're yet to see a smartphone running on the company's upcoming OS. We have a camera based on Tizen, but as far as mobile devices are concerned, the […]
