Another dull Monday morning, and another dull Samsung generiphone to match. The Galaxy Ace 3 is a 4-inch budget 'Droid offering that should perfectly plug the gaping hole in Samsung's range, between its 3.97-inch cheap Android phone and its 4.2-inch cheap Android phone. Read More >>

Most galaxies, like the Milky Way, have two or more spiral "arms," but NGC 4725 only has one. Don't worry NGC 4725 you may be weird, but we still love you and think you're great looking. Space is a safe space. Read More >>

Samsung seems to be basically "pulling an HTC" of old, flooding the market with oodles of Android devices in the hope that you'll buy one or two. After the Galaxy S4 launch, Samsung announced yesterday that it's holding a Galaxy and ATIV premiere in London on June 20th, which means even more Android devices and a few Windows Phones to add to the roster. Will we see the Galaxy Tab 3.0, finally? [Samsung] Read More >>

"No, the corners on that model were plastic to help with reception. Did see a badly chipped black version of the phone once but that had been abused." More »
Usually reliable internet sources claim Samsung's preparing another Android model, this one going by the name Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom. The alleged phone shrinks the S4's screen size to 4.3" but adds a 16-Megapixel sensor around the back by way of compensation. It's less of a phone than the Galaxy S4 and less of a camera than the Galaxy Camera. Is it therefore a phone too far for our Korean Android overlords? [SamMobile] Read More >>
Samsung has seemingly spent several small countries' entire GDP on marketing and promoting the impending Galaxy S4, but it all falls flat once you actually get the phone in your hand. It's not a bad phone, it's just... yawn. Read More >>

Businessweek has a deep profile of Samsung, detailing the company's rise to the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world. The article appears to confirm what we've been expecting all along: that a smaller cheaper version of the Galaxy S 4 will arrive on the heels of the big S 4 next month. Read More >>
When we found out Samsung was making a mini version of the Galaxy S III we got excited... and then we were disappointed because it was so boring. If these leaked photos are true, it looks like we'll be disappointed again because even though the S IV Mini has a svelte body and not ginormous 4.3-inch screen, the S IV Mini will have neutered specs compared to the big brother full size Galaxy S IV. Boo. Read More >>
Samsung's new listing for its Bluetooth Game Pad has one very interesting tech spec, with the controller claiming to be compatible with phones containing displays of up to 6.3 inches. That's a rather specific size, leading some to postulate that's how large the forthcoming Galaxy Note III's screen might be. Read More >>
While we didn't see anything particular thrilling or innovative in Samsung's safe Galaxy S4 launch last night, it did have an interesting piece of hardware to show off backstage -- an official Samsung wireless game controller. So Samsung can crush Ouya, Game Stick and the rest of them in an instant. Read More >>
New benchmarks supposedly taken with a UK-spec Samsung Galaxy S IV referred to as the GT-I9505 variant show a slightly different set of internal organs, perhaps confirming rumours that Samsung's planning different versions of the phone for different regions. Read More >>

Samsung is going to announce its latest and greatest Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, on March 14th. We may know what it looks like already. Or we may not. Samsung is throwing all of us another bone by teasing the upcoming S4 by showing us the outline of the phone. It might be the phone we saw yesterday? Which means it looks like it won't be a huge departure from the design of the S III. We'll find out soon enough. [@SamsungMobileUS] Read More >>
That rather bland, classically Samsung-like lump up there may well be the Galaxy S IV, with a post on a Chinese Samsung forum taking plenty of snaps of it and performing the usual benchmarks to supposedly confirm the sighting as genuine. Read More >>

The Samsung Galaxy S IV is going to be announced in nine days and we're pretty excited for it even if we don't know what it's going to look like. We might now, though. A few leaked images of what's supposed to be the Galaxy S IV have come out and if they're real, the phone looks pretty good. And it won't have a home button? Read More >>
