Last night's Samsung Galaxy S4 launch came with oodles and oodles of software goodies. I say goodies, not all of them sound useful, but you never know. Good news for those of you with the now obsolete Galaxy S III, Samsung's going to bring everything it can, software-wise, to all its "flagship devices". Read More >>

As if here to solely prove my point, that it's pretty much safe to assume that if someone has your phone in their possession they'll be able to get through the lockscreen, the Samsung Galaxy S III has a security bug too. You can gain full access to a locked Galaxy S III with a series of simple button presses. Read More >>

Along with the HTC One, a zillion new smartphones are going to be announced next week at Mobile World Congress, each promising camera advancements that may or may not live up to the hype. Before we get there, though, we wanted to take stock of how good the cameras are in the smartphones you can buy now. Here's how the flagships measure up. Read More >>

Well, that didn't take long now did it? We've no idea why Orange took its sweet-arse time with it, but Jelly Bean is finally available for your Samsung Galaxy S III. Better late than never, I guess. Fire up Kies and check for updates. [TechRadar] Read More >>

Throw em in here and we'll try and answer them all. Read More >>

Wi-Fi isn't as great as it's cracked up to be sometimes, and there's often some annoying interferences that can get in the way of your lovely invisible internet signal. Like the microwave or a giant concrete statue in your hallway. Read More >>
We took a peak at EE's 4G price plans last night, but now we've got phone prices to go with them. Unfortunately, even if you fork over £56 a month, the only phone you can bag for free is the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE, which, well, isn't exactly the handset we were looking for. Want an iPhone 5? It'll cost you at least £20. A Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or S III? £30. Read More >>

We saw Three, then O2 push out their respective Samsung Galaxy S III Jelly Bean updates, and now it's Vodafone's turn. Check for updates on your device or via Samsung Kies, if you've got a Vodafone-branded handset. Those on EE or unbranded will have a bit more to wait. [Vodafone] Read More >>

More good news for Samsung Galaxy S III users. O2 is now rolling out your Android Jelly Bean update, while Vodafone's should be out on Monday. If you're not already using the "buttery smooth" 4.1 operating system, check your settings for the update. [O2, Vodafone via TechRadar] Read More >>

There's been a wave of controversy about Starbucks over the past few days, over the revelation that it's paying less UK tax than it could/should be. Some customers have been openly abusing staff members, and for a change it's not because they're being asked what their name is. Read More >>
