With over 20 million units shipped in its first 100 days on sale the Samsung Galaxy SIII can be classed as nothing less than successful. There was however one slight problem with it – the launch of Android Jellybean. Suddenly Samsung’s all singing all dancing newer than new …
The iPhone 5 has appeared on popular benchmarking tool Geekbench. As well as already known specs, the results seem to indicate that the latest phone from Apple is a 1GHZ Dual Core ARMv7 processor with 1GB of RAM. Apple doesn’t confirm specifications like this for iOS devices so …

Can you remember the review we did the other week of the Samsung Galaxy Beam? (It’s here if you can’t) Jamie came to the conclusion that it was a great phone, it was just a little bit expensive for what you got. Well Handtec have gone part of …
Samsung have announced that they’ve sold a staggering 20 million Galaxy SIII in 100 days. That’s just over 3 months, or a quarter. Nokia sold 4 million Lumia handsets during Q2 of 2012. Whilst the iPhone 4S sold 4 million units in 3 days last year, we should …
Somehow I managed to miss any rumours of a Galaxy Camera and so for once was actually quite surprised when it was announced during Samsung’s (rather dreadful) IFA keynote last week. What a pleasant surprise it was. Although undoubtedly a niche product, I have to say I’m quite excited …

Announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this year the unique selling point of the Samsung Galaxy Beam against all other mobile phones currently on the market is the built in projector on the top, but we’ll get to that in a minute. First let’s look at the specs. …
Samsung are definitely in the spotlight at the moment. The SIII is selling well and their original Samsung Galaxy Note has shifted 10 million units. That’s despite the current model having a ma-hoo-sive 5.3″ screen. Oh yes, and there’s “that” court case which, if nothing else, is certainly …
Yesterday in the Apple vs Samsung case, Apple introduced 2 documents as evidence that contained quotes from Google showing their concern regarding the similarities between Samsungs Galaxy Tab range and the iPad.

Unlike the cartoon hands on version from the other day. Here a nice chap from Samsung runs through the various new features in the Galaxy Note 10.1. I am a little on the fence with this at the moment. I think it’s a little over priced. Especially with …
Retailer MobileFun have announced availability and a price for the rumoured black Galaxy SIII. That pretty much means the rumours are true. You can’t really say much more about the Galaxy SIII. Another colour will certainly appeal to people who don’t like the current white or blue models. …
Battery life is one of those things that is NEVER going to improve. As devices get more powerful, thinner, get bigger screens battery life always take a hit. Sometimes manufacturers do something about this. Take the Motorola Razr Maxx or the Samsung Galaxy Note for example. Both have …

I’ve seen a number of sites stating that Samsung have just “announced” the Galaxy Note 10.1. Actually, they announced the thing back in February and we’ve already had the full hands-on treatment, so we don’t really need to show you the press shots. There’s already a video demo …
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was originally announced back at MWC and seems to have been stuck in perpetuity ever since. Well, Samsung has now posted a video on one of their official YouTube channels which demos the features of the Note 10.1. Sadly the video is computer …
Just a few days ago I set myself a challenge. Using only a smartphone, would it be possible to run a website, updating posts, answering emails and responding to tweets? Is it then possible to go mobile, reporting on the biggest event happening right now in London? Snapping …

What? The very latest version of Android for a phone that came out two years ago? Surely not. Well actually, yes. The Galaxy S, aka the Samsung I9000, has now received a Jelly Bean port via forum member “mkalter”. This doesn’t seem to be one of those “nothing …
Yes, it’s another one of those Facebook competitions where you’ve got to “Like” something so that the company in question can send you lots of helpful “updates”.. but hey, you could win a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3, so it’s probably worth it eh ? Click over to …
This might only target a fairly small subset of people, but they’re no less important than anyone else. If you, dear reader, have gone out and bought yourself one of those whizzy Samsung Smart TV’s and then bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy SIII, listen up. On the …
