Got the Galaxy SII on Orange? Is it branded? Don’t fancy putting a ROM on it yourself? Well, if you tick all those boxes then you’ll have to wait a little bit longer for your Ice Cream Sandwich update. A Twitter update from Orange gives no firm date …
Deep down inside the current Galaxy SII there’s a Samsung Exynos chip. In the SII, and again you should probably stick this into the “SII Rumour File”, there’s a newer Exynos chip which has better battery life and quad-core processing capability. Yes, we KNOW that the SIII is …
If you want to build excitement, renders and leaked photos should do it. Today there’s another shot of the SIII, and the “is it or isn’t it”-games continue. This Reddit rumour mentions a 12 megapixel shooter, 2250mAh battery and it’s only 8mm thick. Salt anyone? The pessimist in …
Want to know more about the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S2? A powerpoint slide, which has been converted to a PDF here, gives info on what to expect if you’ve not upgraded yours already. It’s not just the UI that’s changed, there’s stacks more, so …
Fancy getting yourself the original Galaxy Note on Three? They’ll be offering up the device on Pay As You Go for £499 or on contracts like the Essential 500 for £32 a month (with 5000 texts, 500 minutes and 250MB of data). The Galaxy Note, which we reviewed …
So, we’ve had a few dates regarding the Galaxy SII Ice Cream Sandwich update. Last we heard, it was sometime soon and we’ve previously heard dates ranging from Q1 to March 1st. Now best-mobile-contracts have a confirmed date of March 19th, which is this coming Monday. They have …
If you’re an online retailer looking to get some hits, you could try adding a slightly mocked-up Samsung Galaxy SIII and just wait for the clicks to arrive. Right now mobilecityonline have possibly done just that, with the phone now on their site ready for pre-order at $799.99. …
If you’re after the Galaxy Ace 2 then head over to Unlocked Mobiles – they’ve got it on pre-order for £249.98 with the VAT. The Ace 2 has an 800 MHz dual-core CPU, a 3.8″ WVGA screen and two cameras – a 5 megapixel shooter at the rear …
Samsung have just officially announced a new Galaxy device, but it isn’t the one everyone is waiting to hear about. The new device is named the Samsung Galaxy Pocket and is small in size measuring 103.7 x 57.5 x12mm with a small 2.8inch display. The device will come …
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has been knocked down to just £279 at PC World – it was £399. A pretty decent deal for a dual-core 1GHz tablet with 16GB, twin cameras, WiFi and that 1280×800 pixel 8.9″ screen. Running Android 3.1 (Honeycomb) you also get all the …
Looks like specs for the highly awaited SGS3 have slipped out slightly early than Samsung were hoping and for a 2012 flagship everything is super fast as you would expect. It has been said that the SHS3 will feature a 1.5Ghz Quad-Core processor, 8 megapixel normal camera and …
So, you’ve got the major players here in Barcelona. HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Nokia and the new boys – Sony Mobile. Then there’s the people close behind, Acer, Asus, Huawei and ZTE are becoming more well known. Huawei in particular have been behind a lot of network-branded kit …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Dave Dibble has sent us a quick update on the Sky Go for Android app. It launched fairly recently but there were only certain handsets that it would work on. Well, since then Sky have posted this update on their site.. UPDATE — Sky Go app now available …
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 …
First of all thanks to the guys from Mugen for sending us this battery to review. It came all the way from Hong Kong I was amazed. My experience of spare batteries for phones has basically been buying a replacement when the original started to misbehave. Within a few …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
