Samsung Completely Loses Its Mind With Gangnam Style Parody And Indulgent Design Ads

Posted by in News, Samsung

We should've seen this coming. Really, Samsung, it's our fault. We should've stopped you when you put on that incredibly sexist Broadway show. We didn't. We argued that it was funny and then even enabled you by saying you have better marketing than HTC. We set you up for this. What could we have expected except a Gangnam Style parody that touts the virtues of the Galaxy S4?

The above video of the song...*sigh*...Samsung Style, was taken at a Galaxy S4 launch party in India. The man you see singing on stage is Ranveer Singh, a Bollywood superstar.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review: A Midsize Tablet With A Lot To Love, And A Few Things To Hate

Posted by in Galaxy Note 8.0, News, Reviews, Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a strange beast. Sitting more or less between the Note II and the Note 10.1, the Note 8.0 feels like a Frankenstein Android device, mixing elements of both smartphones and tablets. Of course, that's kind of the point: in territories where carriers don't have such a stranglehold on the wireless industry, the Note 8.0 is exactly the giant phone that it looks like. Here in the States, we'll have to make due with an 8-inch WiFi tablet - a mid-sized device for the category, with a premium price.

That said, the price may be the only major downside of the Note 8.0 for some very targeted users.

[Deal Alert] AT&T Galaxy S4 For $168 ($32 off) From Amazon Wireless

Posted by in AT&T, Deals, Galaxy S4, News

Didn't pick up AT&T's version of the Galaxy S4 when it hit shelves this weekend? You're a smart one (not to say that those who did pick one up aren't smart, of course), because Amazon Wireless has already knocked the price down to $168. Sure, that's a pretty random amount ($32 off AT&T's price) considering we're used to seeing prices drop in increments of $50, but hey – a deal is a deal, right?

Naturally, you'll have to sign a two-year contractual agreement with AT&T to get the device for that price, but considering you were probably going to do that anyway, it doesn't really make sense to spend more money.

[Deal Alert] Unlocked Galaxy Note II (Anthracite Gray) Back On eBay Daily Deals For Just $499.99 Shipped

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy Note II

After showing up on eBay Daily Deals a week ago and promptly going out of stock, the Galaxy Note II is back in black Anthracite Gray on eBay Daily Deals once again for just $499.99 shipped.

This particular Note II is the international unlocked GSM model, (meaning no LTE) touting quad-band HSPA+ 3G data connectivity. The upshot is that you can take this Note II pretty much anywhere in the world and it'll work - just toss a SIM in and you're good to go. The lowest price we'd seen before this deal popped up last week was $549 back in November last year, and you've got to admit - $500 for a 5.5" display and quad-core processor isn't exactly outrageous.

LG Revolution Gets [Minor] OTA Update - Software Version VS910ZVB, Actually Removes Bloat

Posted by in Device Updates, News, Revolution

Verizon just posted up some software update documents for the LG Revolution, one of the aging first-gen LTE handsets that debuted on the network way back in 2011. The software version is VS910ZVB, as opposed to the build that rolled out a year ago  - VS910ZV9.

The new build includes some OS security fixes, removes quite a few pieces of bloatware, and updates Google Maps Services. Given the removal of bloat and patching of holes, this may well be the last update the Revolution ever sees. I'm sort of surprised it got this far. You can expect the update to roll out to what few Revolutions remain on stock software over the next few weeks.

The T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Is Now Available Online With Free Overnight Shipping

Posted by in Galaxy S4, News, T-Mobile

T-Mobile may be a little late to the party, but there is plenty of love to go around. T-Mobile customers can now find the Galaxy S4 available from the carrier's website for the expected price of $149 with a two-year contract, in white or black. Overnight shipping is available for those who cannot wait any longer, and since T-Mobile is pushing this as a limited-time offer, you might not want to. Supply is limited, and who knows how long you will have to wait if these things sell out.

Those of you who would rather avoid the monthly $20 loan payment that follows the initial cost can buy the phone all at once for $629.

Samsung Officially Reveals The 7-Inch Galaxy Tab 3 - Budget-Grade Specs In A Giant Smartphone Body

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 3, News, Samsung

Those of you who didn't appreciate the divisive smartphone style of the Galaxy Note 8.0 might want to avert your eyes right about now. The South Korean company pulled the wraps off of the first entry in the fourth generation of its Galaxy Tab series today, and there's no denying that the 7-inch tablet looks like a gigantic smartphone. The Galaxy Tab 3 will be available worldwide in May in a WiFi version with a 3G variant following in June, though specific markets were not mentioned.

The Galaxy Tab 3 continues Samsung's positioning of the 7-inch size as a budget device, with hardware specs that are barely a bump over the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3100 model).

Sony's Xperia Tablet Z Up For Pre-Order In The US

Posted by in News, Sony, Xperia Tablet Z

Sony's Xperia Tablet Z, the tablet first announced for Japan about three months ago, and spotted again at MWC, is finally up for pre-order for those customers awaiting the device's US launch.

When we saw the Tablet Z in person at Mobile World Congress, its super thin, super light water/dust-resistant frame impressed. Its 1920x1200 10.1" display, S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM and promised Android 4.2 base also sounded good on paper, but we concluded it could still be held back by two things: a 6000mAh battery, and a $500 price point for the 16GB model.

Sony announced the tablet's pre-order availability in a post to its official blog today, adding a new video featuring Dreyfus, Sony's loveable three-legged spokesdog.

ASUS Transformer Pad 300 3G (TF300TG) Currently Getting Its Android 4.2.1 Update, Full ROM Download Already Available

Posted by in Device Updates, News, Transformer Pad 300

ASUS is on a roll with the 4.2 updates lately – it started with the TF300 (Wi-Fi) back in early March, and followed with the Infinity (TF700) and MeMO Pad Smart shortly after. And of course, it released full ROM downloads along the way for those who prefer to manually flash their devices.

The 3G version of the TF300 – the TF300TG – is next in line for the 4.2.1 update, which appears to have started rolling out sometime over the past couple of days. If you haven't gotten it, however, don't fret – ASUS has your back, as it has already released the full ROM to its download site.
