An independent arbiter of how good things are has declared the Samsung Galaxy S4 the best smartphone of them all, with the device dethroning LG's Optimus G in the Consumer Reports mobile rankings. Read More >>
Samsung has issued a slightly vague response to that kicking it took on the BBC's Watchdog last night (above), claiming it's the "innovative and unique features" that hoover up so much of the phone's internal storage space. However, it is looking at, perhaps, optimising things to free up a few more bytes for use. Read 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.
