So, we’ve noticed a bit of a similarity between the two handsets here at Mobile World Congress. We’ve also noticed something else – namely what happens if you say “D quad” quickly enough….. Anyways, unfortunately there wasn’t time for a direct speed or usage comparison, but we did …
Samsung always go big at MWC, and with no Galaxy S3 in sight it was left to the Galaxy Note 10.1 to take the flagship role at this years event in Barcelona. Following on from our earlier post on the 10.1 from Leigh, I managed to also get …
So, the Galaxy Beam. Is it any good? Well, we took a tour around the Samsung stand this morning and tried it out. It’s being shown off in a dark room, and I made the unfortunate mistake of asking “do things work better in the dark?” Apparently it …
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 only got announced literally minutes ago, so we thought it best to go and get a hands-on with the device. The lovely Samsung lady gave us a great demo of the device, which has a WXGA (1280×800) PLS TFT screen, dual-core 1.4GHz CPU, …
You get to see some pretty interesting sights on the streets of Barcelona after dark. Here’s another Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 poster, and this time it’s not hiding much either. The reason ? It’s now official. That 10.1 screen is of the WXGA (1280×800) PLS TFT variety and …
We kinda expected it, but this image seems to now confirm the fact that we’ll be seeing the 10.1″ version of the Galaxy Note on the Samsung stand here in Barcelona. We’ll be heading over there shortly to get singer hands-on time, so check back for more information. …
Remember the Galaxy Beam from Samsung ? Two years ago it promised big-screen entertainment by projecting images from your smartphone to a wall or other flat surface. It wasn’t wildly successful but Samsung have fiddled around with it and released this new version, complete with a 4″ 400×800 …
So, hot on the heels of their new 7″ Galaxy Tab 2 comes this, the larger 10.1″ version. This has a 1280×800 pixel screen with “PLS technology” which basically makes the screen clearer and viewable from more angles. Running Android 4.0 (ICS), this will also have the TouchWiz …
Samsung have announced that the Galaxy S2 has now sold over 20 million units since its launch in May last year. That’s pretty good going for a phone that even today, nearly a year after launch, is still one of the best handsets available, on Android or any …
Earlier today we reported on Three announcing that the forthcoming Samsung Ace 2 and Mini 2 were on their way to the network and now T Mobile have announced on Twitter that they will be providing both handsets as well. No pricing details nor availability as of yet …
…and as quick as a flash, those lovely people at Three have confirmed that they will be taking the Galaxy Ace 2 and Galaxy mini 2. They’ve even got a video.. honestly, talk about rubbing it in our faces 😉 Check out our earlier story for specs and …
It looks like that earlier leaked info has now become clearer, with Samsung adding details of the Galaxy Ace 2 (above) and Galaxy mini 2 (below) online. Powered by Android 2.3, the Ace 2 should arrive here in April and the mini 2 probably at around the same …
I have been using the Tab 7.7 now for about 3 weeks and thought it may be time to do a follow on from my initial observations. As those of you who read the previous article are aware I have had my reservations about a few of the …
The un-ending lawsuits look set to continue with Apple now dropping lawsuits against Samsung again. This time there’s eight patents at the heart of the legal fight, four of which have been granted since the last Apple vs Samsung fight. Sigh. Meanwhile Motorola appear to have been beaten …
Virgin Mobile have said they are exclusively taking the Samsung Galaxy S Plus in white on their UK network and it is available to buy from their website right now. Virgin Mobile are one of the UK’s ‘Virtual Networks’ and have access to the Everything Everywhere network so coverage should …
For those awaiting the 32GB version of the latest Nexus phone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, we’ve got some bad news. It seems, according to the online retailer Expansys, that the 32GB GSM model has been shelved. We’ve just been notified this morning that Samsung have dropped the Galaxy …
The people at Unlocked Mobiles have now taken delivery of the white Galaxy Nexus and, if you’ve got £494.98, you can have free delivery. Clove also have the handset on sale or you can check our deals if you’re after a white Galaxy Nexus on contract. Specs include …
Normally smartphones come in grey, black, brown, silver and more increasingly in white. White is my favourite colour for a phone and not a week goes by without me going on about another white phone. Well imagine my horror when Samsung announced that the Samsung Galaxy S2 would …
I’ve always liked the philosophy of Android (open source, free, etc), but never felt it was quite ready for me. It had a somewhat jerky interface (fixable or not, hard to say), felt slightly less intuitive than iOS, and had a need for additional customisation that the iPhone …
For me, one of the stand out features that Google presented to the world when they announced the Google Galaxy Nexus, was Face Unlock. My thoughts ran wild with ideas about how this technology could be useful… at least for me. Shortly after their announcement, various people demonstrated that …
Well, this has caught us a bit off-balance. Samsung appear to have just announced the Galaxy Tab 2 via their Facebook page. This new version of the 7″ model includes a 1GHz dual-core CPU, 3G and WiFi connectivity and runs Android 4.0 (ICS). It’s a little strange to …
This, according to the leaked image obtained by GSM Arena , is the Samsung Galaxy Mini 2. The device, which will also be known as the S6500, looks set to be a mid-to-low end device with a launch at Mobile World Congress. Specs, as you can see, include …
We knew that the Galaxy SII Ice Cream Sandwich update was coming in Q1 but we didn’t know quite when. Now the inimitable Eldar Murtazin had provided us with a start date and it’ll arrive via Samsung Kies too. Update – A new tweet now says between March …
First of all we all heard that Samsung was planning a large event to happen at MWC at the end of the month. In previous years Samsung have chosen to introduce new things like the Galaxy S2 at MWC so this years “large event” seemed to be on …
A shiny new Galaxy SIII arriving on March 22nd? It turns out that no, it’s not. Well, we were a little puzzled as to why Samsung would want to launch their new phone just a couple of weeks after Mobile World Congress. Whatever happens, Samsung must be loving …
There’s a fair amount of excitement surrounding the Galaxy SIII. The existing SII had already performed brilliantly sales-wise and its still my main phone. So, news so far. We thought it would appear at Mobile World Congress. Good times. Then we were told it wasn’t arriving at Mobile …
Clove are now taking orders for the white version of the Galaxy Nexus 16gb for £498.00. They have said that will be available on February the 13th. It’s not all white though, the bezel is black unlike the white version of the Galaxy S2 which is …
On visiting Orange in Bristol today they have the Samsung Galaxy Note available to preorder and priced free from £46 a month on contract No details on a confirmed launch date apart from this month. Nice to see Orange taking the Note even though it is a monster …
It’s February, it’s rumour month, and Samsung are again making headlines. This shot, from xda.cn, apparently shows why Samsung are keen to keep the upcoming Galaxy SIII under wraps for a little while longer. There’s specs on the site too, although we’d like you to remember the word …
T-Mobile and O2 have announced they will be stocking the new Samsung Galaxy S Advance, their new mid-range phone. They join Three in announcing they will be selling the phone. No word on pricing yet, but Samsung are aiming for the mid-range with this device, so hopefully something …
Here is a quick question for you how do you make of the most successful Android Tabs in the sub ten-inch category even better? Well the answer is an obvious one. You put it on a diet send it for a lobotomy and then take it back to …
So, the Galaxy SIII isn’t going to get a big reveal in Barcelona. Booo, but hey, a ramped-up SII could appear instead. I know, I know, it’s like getting an iPhone 4S when you’re expecting an iPhone 5, but heck – a 1.5GHz CPU inside a Galaxy SII …
Well, so much for the “big exclusive” at John Lewis. The white Galaxy Note is already available at Clove and now eXpansys are dishing it up too. Prices start at £499.99 for the 16 GB version. Oh, and if you’re looking to get one on a contact, try …
We’ve just had this comment from Samsung which confirms the successor to the rather wonderful Galaxy SII. We will, as usual, be reporting live from Mobile World Congress but it looks like we will have to wait a little longer for the SIII because its just not ready …
Android 4.0, aka ICS, aka Ice Cream Sandwich … here in the UK we’re not overly familiar with the term “Ice Cream Sandwich”, but I did used to eat something like this when I was a kid. Anyway, I digress. According to the Facebook page for Samsung Norway …
Got a Galaxy S2? Yeah? Did you buy an unlocked / unbranded one? If you have then you may have noticed that Android 2.3.4 is as high as you can go version-wise. Josh Fullalove (what a cool name) has asked Samsung UK about this and they say that …
OK, so just recently we heard that Three were to take the Galaxy S Advance. It seems a little puzzling. Why announce a new phone now? Weeks before Mobile World Congress? Well, it’s hopefully a signal that Samsung are clearing the way for a mahoosize launch of the …
Three have announced today they are going to stock the brand new Samsung Galaxy S Advance which itself was only announced earlier today!, Yet another addition into the Galaxy S range, the S Advance has some impressive specs without being a top of the range expensive phone although we do not know …
Samsung, who have “apparently confirmed” (although I read it personally as “not denying”) the Galaxy SIII, are on a roll. Net profit at Samsung Electronics is up to 4 trillion won, which is about £2.3 billion. Althought net income for 2011 was down slightly, Samsung saw the Galaxy …
I have obviously been doing something right in the last few weeks as I have been given a very exciting opportunity. Thanks to Handtec I have got my hands on some of the latest Tech of the year. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, this is a great diminutive …
