Samsung’s next Galaxy (likely the S III) will be announced on May 3
Samsung has finally confirmed the date when it will announce its newest Galaxy smartphone: May 3. While the company doesn’t say exactly what handset it will announce then, this is probably going to be the long-rumored Galaxy S III. Because I don’t think Samsung would make a special event for a less-important device. The South [...]
UK: Samsung Galaxy Ace now just £135 on Vodafone
While it may already have not one, but two successors on the market (or coming soon), the Samsung Galaxy Ace is still a pretty decent Android smartphone in terms of specs. Sure, it’s not high-end (and it never was), but it gets the job done. It’s always been pretty affordable, yet it looks like some [...]

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 could end up being a very different device when it finally launches
Samsung showed us the Galaxy Note 10.1 during MWC in February. The concept is pretty obvious from the name: it’s basically a huge version of the Galaxy Note smartphone, sporting the same S Pen stylus for note taking and the likes. However, the Galaxy Note 10.1 that I played with at MWC wasn’t really all [...]

The Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S II has started rolling out last month. Whether you already got it, or when you’re going to, depends on where you are and where you bought your device from. Each operator has to approve of it first, so that may take a while. [...]

Samsung Galaxy Note makes brief appearance on Sprint’s website
It’s been three months since we first heard that Sprint may plan to launch its own version of the Samsung Galaxy Note in the US.

Samsung keeps “Home” button on Galaxy S3 at the last moment, opts for 5 column Note like UX
Tired of all those Samsung Galaxy S3 rumors? Sorry, but there’s no help for it. By not announcing its next generation flagship at Mobile World Congress, and managing to keep the real designs from leaking even during the carrier testing phase, Samsung made a smart bet, that is paying off handsomely. The frenzy and speculation [...]

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 gets priced, $399.99 for 8 GB Wi-Fi-only version
Ever since Apple launched the first iPad two years ago, $499.99 has been viewed as the ‘decent’ entry price for a 10-inch tablet with Wi-Fi connectivity and no 3G/4G data. All subsequent iPads have been priced starting from that point, and many competitors have tried (and many failed) to match it. $499.99 has become the [...]
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 delayed until June so it can ship with quad-core Exynos processor
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has reportedly been delayed until June, but for a pretty cool reason. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is an upcoming tablet that was unveiled during MWC in February, and it’s basically a 10.1-inch Android tablet with ‘S Pen’ tech built-in. Translation: it works with a capacitive stylus. Not only that, but [...]
Samsung may have sold 41 million smartphones in Q1, beating profit estimates by a lot
Today Samsung has issued the official earnings guidance for the first quarter of 2012. The numbers are very good, with consolidated sales reaching approximately 45 trillion Korean won ($39.8 billion). That’s a bit less than sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 (which were at 47.3 trillion won), but that’s understandable. First off, Q4 is [...]
Samsung to launch 3 Windows Phone handsets in 2012, LTE-capable Mandel included
Nokia may be the most important hardware manufacturer for Windows Phone now, but that doesn’t mean other companies have to ditch Microsoft’s mobile platform. And they certainly won’t do that. Samsung, for example, is reportedly getting ready to introduce three new Windows Phone handsets this year, sometime in the second half. That’s what Chinese website [...]
