The Verge have reported that people they know, know people at Samsung and those people at Samsung are delaying the release of the Samsung Galaxy S3. It was expected that Samsung would announce it at MWC in Barcelona at the end of February. But now it sounds like …
The other day we reported that John Lewis of all people had an exclusive on the white version of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Well I guess that it was for a short period of time because Clove now have them in stock. You can get one here. The …
Samsung have continued to pump out their Galaxy SII adverts in the USA and they seem to be following a very similar vein. Earlier we saw how Samsung poked fun at Apple customers queuing and camping outside stores for the “Next big thing” and now Samsung are saying …
Since news of the new Nokia Lumia 910 broke this morning, Eldar Murtazin had painfully drip-fed information about the Samsung Galaxy SIII, which he says is much better. As the day has progressed we’ve found out that the new Galaxy will have a HD screen and will match …
The pink Galaxy SII we spotted at Phones 4U will shortly be available from eXpansys. If you’re looking for a gadgety Valentines gift, this could be your thing – it’s arriving on February 13th. Inside it’s the usual goodness – an 8 megapixel camera, dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, Android …
EDF have decided that a trip in the London Eye to see the sites of London isn’t enough. They have introduced a new “interactive guide” which allows you to access information about the sites you can see from in the Pod during your rotation. The highly functional interactive …
If you are reading this the chances are that you are a Samsung Galaxy S owner and you are frustrated. Samsung decided that there was not enough space on the Galaxy S to fit the Ice Cream Sandwich update, which left a lot of people rather angry with …
So, we’ve had a press release from Samsung about the Galaxy Note. Usual stuff, like you’d expect, but at the bottom there’s an interesting bit of information… The Samsung Galaxy Note White will initially be available exclusively from John Lewis with £250 of free music, films and e-Books …
The Galaxy Note appears to be getting a few tweaks here and there courtesy of a new update. It doesn’t look like anything major, but the improvements are definitely worth while. Adjustments have been made to the on-screen keyboard, settings and the lock-screen. Tweaks include adding instructions on …
Whilst doing my lunchtime scan of the internet for news and seeing what is going on in the world of tech, it looks like Samsung might have accidentally outed the Galaxy S III in a YouTube video showing off CES highlights. Now there could be two answers here. …
Ladies ! (And anyone else wanting a very different-looking handset) Phones 4U have just added the rather excellent Samsung Galaxy SII in PINK to their site. It’s the same great handset that we know and love, but with a lick of pink. Don’t forget to read our extensive …
So I have been a very lucky geek this Christmas in that I have managed to get my hands on the present that I really wanted (even though I had to buy it myself). I am now the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note. I thought it …
Clove posted on their blog last night that they would be getting into stock today the Samsung Galaxy Extreme. I had not previously heard of this device. It apparently is Samsungs take on the Motorola Defy+. The spec is pretty basic though. IP67 protection rating Android 2.3 Touchwiz …
Samsung have just announced the Galaxy M, launched in South Korea yesterday. No news of when it’ll come our way, if at all, but it looks like a nice, capable mid-range smartphone. As you can see from the photo, it’s running Gingerbread and has a decent enough spec …
The Samsung Galaxy SII is amazing. We know that, you know that. However, when Orange (and Barclaycard) launched their “contactless payment” service the Galaxy SII wasn’t listed as a supported handset. Actually, there weren’t a great deal of phones supporting the “touch to pay” system. To do this …
Clove have reported today that the popular Samsung Galaxy Nexus which recently launched will be coming out in white from next month here in the UK (February). Priced just under £500 this gives anyone interested in the Nexus an interesting choice of colour now. Over on the Clove …
Samsung have today announced an upgrade to the Ace, the Ace Plus and whilst looking nearly the same its whats inside that makes the most difference. The screen has been made larger from the original 3.5 into to 3.65 inch with a HVGA resolution making the experience much …
Wehay! Official Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy SII are arriving, and through the Samsung Kies software too….. apparently. Android 4.0.1 and Android 4.0.3 have leaked out, although it looks like there’ll be certain markets and variants getting the new OS update first. This roll-out has …
Is it too big? The jury is probably still out on that one. You can always check out our review of the Note to find out yourself, however a lot of people must like it because Samsung has shifted a million of them already. The phone / tablet …
Further to our article about the Nexus S price reduction, I finally got my handset yesterday and immediately set about trying to update it to ICS. To cut a long story short, it’s not as easy as just going through the settings menu and requires a little manual tinkering, The …
Christmas has come slightly early for Android bargain hunters. Carphoneware are currently selling Samsung’s first Nexus device sim free for £199.95. For that you’ll get a handset with a 1Ghz hummingbird processor, 4″ Super AMOLED display, 16GB of inbuilt memory and, most importantly, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. …
When we heard that Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) wasn’t coming to the Samsung Galaxy S we assumed that it was merely delayed. However, the word is that both the Galaxy S and 7″ Tab won’t get ICS due to hardware constraints. When we say “hardware constraints” we …
 Well, it’s all good news, provided you’re not a Galaxy S owner. The plans for the Android 4.0 roll out have been detailed here. It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S isn’t on the initial batch of devices which are being scheduled for the update.. The ICS-upgradable …
So, we knew it was coming and now it looks to be here. Google themselves announced the start of the Android 4.0 roll-out onto Nexus S devices via Twitter. The update will be coming out over the next month starting immediately but, if you’re the impatient type, there’s …
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has barely been out for two weeks and it already has an overclocked kernel thanks to XDA members franciscofranco and coolbho3000. What makes this even more amazing is that neither of them own a Galaxy Nexus! This is the third iteration of his kernel and it’s stable and fast, …
Android software engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru posted on twitter this evening that the factory images for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus are now available for download. What this means is that if you flash a bad ROM onto your device or there’s an issue whilst flashing you can use this …

Ok, so there’s a lot of people that can’t wait for the Galaxy Nexus bug to be fixed so here’s a guide on how to flash the update manually… You will need: – A Samsung Galaxy Nexus – An Unlocked bootloader – A Rooted device To root follow …
It has been mentioned over the last couple of days that Samsung will be pushing out an update over the air to fix the strange volume bug that was present at release on the Galaxy Nexus. As always with OTA updates various people say they have had it …
OK, this is a little big. Many moons ago we reviewed the Orange SPV M2000. We thought that was big. It’s not. Not when compared to this. The style and design is still there and it does look a lot like a larger version of the rather glorious …
Handbags at the ready. This new Galaxy SII advert seems to be taking a direct swipe at the iPhone. It shows a queue of people patiently waiting for the new iPhone 4S and… well, it’s probably best to view it below 🙂 Samsung have actually just lost another …
We’re in the middle of writing up our Samsung Galaxy Note review. It sells for around £549.95 unlocked and has a large (but hi-res) 5.3″ 1280×800 WXGA HD Super AMOLED screen. It also comes with a stylus, or an “S Pen” as Samsung calls it. Whilst this might …
We spotted it as “Coming Soon” a few days back and now it’s arrived… for new customers. The Galaxy Note is a rather large and rather sexy phone which has a dual-core 1.4GHz CPU and 5.3″ screen. Orange look to be giving away some goodies as part of …
So it’s now official, Samsung have announced that there will be an update for the Galaxy S to Android 2.3.5 via Kies, so if you live in the UK you’re lucky. It’s apparently rolling out right now, so if you’ve got the original Galaxy S, give it a …
I’m meeting a lot of people at the moment who are planning to upgrade to the rather excellent Galaxy SII. I always agree with them because, in all honesty, it’s an absolutely fantastic device. Just to confirm that, the Galaxy SII has won another award. This time it’s …
The all new Android 4.0. Bells. Whistles. Face unlock, a better UI, resizable widgets and more swipe interactions. The Galaxy S2 has now been blessed with the new OS, albeit via a bit of hacking and tweaking of code. Mr Headless Dude shows the S2 in the video …
On a whim yesterday I ordered the Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Phones4u and it arrived first thing this morning much to my surprise! I’ve been using iPhones since the 3G came out so this is a major change for me and I have to admit I’m a little …
Samsung UK recently tweeted that the Samsung Galaxy S2 would definitely be getting an upgrade to the next version of Android. As usual no specific dates, so we just have to sit and wait. Hopefully it will be slightly more organised than the upgrade to Gingerbread for the …
