Samsung Announces Protective Flip Cover Multicolor Bundles For Galaxy S III And Galaxy Note II

Posted by in Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III, News

Remember that odd plastic piece on the back of the Nexus 10? You could remove the part and replace it with a smart cover that remains physically attached to your device. Well, if you've wanted that same action on your Galaxy S III or Note II, now's your chance. Samsung's protective flip covers are going on sale.

Much like on the Nexus 10, these accessories will require that a part be entirely replaced in favor of an always-attached case. Only this time, it's the battery cover. As you can see in the pictures above, this flip cover is embedded in the rear of the phone and folds over to cover the screen.

Wal-Mart Is Currently Selling A Red Galaxy S III 920 To People Who Don't Read Too Closely

Posted by in Galaxy S III, News

So far, the red Galaxy S III has been limited strictly to AT&T. If you wanted to get your hands on that device in the color that denotes danger and sexiness (you know, in keeping with the whole calming 'nature' theme), then two-thirds of U.S. mobile users would have to switch carriers. Now, however, you can get a red Galaxy S III 920 from Wal-Mart as long as you don't mind it being a Lumia 920, running Windows Phone, and not being a Galaxy S III at all.

Wait, that's not right.

Someone at Wal-Mart is either very confused, very stupid, or brilliant and out to make Artem's day.

Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D) Rolling Out To Galaxy Nexus – Manual Update Available [Update: Yakju Too]

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, Jelly Bean 4.2, News

Not to be left out, it looks like the Galaxy Nexus Takju is getting its own 4.2.1 update just after the 1.1MB package started hitting the Nexus 7 and 10.

If you've got a Takju Galaxy Nexus and don't feel like waiting around for the OTA to find its way to your device, you can – as always – install it yourself.

It should be noted that this update package is only meant for Takju – that is, the Galaxy Nexus available in the Play Store. You should also be certain that your device is running 4.2 JOP40C before installing this update.

Samsung Galaxy Axiom Quietly Lands On US Cellular LTE, With Google Wallet In Tow

Posted by in News, US Cellular

Well hello there, Galaxy Axiom - where have you been hiding? We spotted it on Google's Wallet support site, and this budget LTE phone seems to have been slipped into the lineup of US Cellular without the carrier or Samsung itself making much of a fuss. What's even more interesting is that it's certified for Google Wallet, since US Cellular is blissfully without an ISIS-flavored conflict of interest when it comes to mobile payments. The price on the website is showing as $399.99 outright or $79.99 with a two-year contract, though that may vary by location.

As far as hardware goes, the Galaxy Axiom seems like a slightly upgraded version of the international Galaxy S III Mini.

[Deal Alert] AT&T's Galaxy Note II Now $175 For New Customers, $200 For Upgrades From Amazon Wireless

Posted by in AT&T, Deals, Galaxy Note II, News

Over the past couple weeks, we've watched Amazon Wireless continuously drop the price of the Galaxy Note II across various carriers, and AT&T's version of the behemoth is the latest to face the price-cutting ax. Effective today, customers who sign a new agreement with Big Blue can grab this powerhouse phablet for $175 - the lowest price we've seen yet on the device. If you're an existing customer looking to upgrade to the Note II, don't sweat too hard - it's only $200 for you.

That's a minimum of $100 off of what AT&T is asking for this device, and $125 cheaper if you're signing a new contract.

What Hath Science Wrought: Behold Samsung's Phone-Crushing Automatic Ass-Bot

Posted by in News, Samsung

It seems to be a growing trend among manufacturers to show off the process behind creating their products. Today, Samsung joined the ranks, bringing us an inside look of the stress test process that the company's moneymaker undergoes. To ensure that every Galaxy S III can stand up to all the punishment you can throw at it, there are a number of machines that attempt to scratch, crack, or soak the handset to see how well it can hold up. Oh, yeah, and there's an automated ass that sits on the phone over and over again.

If you've ever seen a stress test video, there won't be much here that's entirely shocking, though this clip is in Korean.

Samsung Shows Off The Upcoming Premium Suite-Enhanced Jelly Bean Update For The Note 10.1

Posted by in Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News, Videos
Last Updated: November 24th, 2012

When Samsung first launched the Note 10.1, it had some really solid ideas, but didn't do so well with the implementation. Soon after, the company released the the Note II, which improved on how it handled a lot of things that seemed to miss the mark on the Note 10.1 - namely multi-window, which allows more than one application to be run side-by-side.

Good news, though - Sammy just released a video that highlights the upcoming Premium Suite features that will be part of the Jelly Bean update, and it looks like they made a pretty major overhaul to multi-window.

Samsung Adds New iPad, iPad Mini, And iPod Touch To Its Current Lawsuit Against Apple

Posted by in Legal, News

It was bound to happen. Really, it was inevitable at this point, however today we've gotten official word that Samsung is requesting to add the newest iPad, the iPad Mini, and the latest iPod Touch to its lawsuit against the Cupertino company. This isn't shocking so much as it is entirely expected. Still, while HTC and Apple are busy settling their differences and the patent wars seemingly cooling off—if only a bit—this is a solid reminder that the two manufacturers with the most to gain (and lose!) from this fight aren't backing away from each other.

2012-11-21_22h17_22

No new patents are being added to the case, so it's simply a matter of including as much ammunition as possible to lob in Apple's general direction.

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, Jelly Bean 4.2, News

About a week after the Takju variant of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus got its 4.2 update, it looks like the same is rolling out to the Nexus' Yakju variant. The update (build JOP40C), for those not willing to wait, is also available for manual download and flashing (check the link below).

It should be noted that this update is meant solely for the Galaxy Nexus Yakju – that's the international version not from the Play Store – and your device should be running build JZO54K before you try to install the update.

For those interested, Google has also posted Yakju's 4.2 factory image here.
