AT&T Announces Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 With LTE

Posted by in Galaxy Note 8.0, News

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has won some ardent fans since its release, but AT&T just announced a new variant for those who want a little LTE with their S Pen. AT&T even put together a handy video showing off some of the Note 8.0's features.

This is the same Note 8.0 we've seen before, but with the LTE radio and (presumably) some AT&T apps built-in. The Note 8.0 runs Android 4.1, has a 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos chip, 4,600mAh battery, 16GB of storage (with microSD card slot), and a 1280x800 LCD screen.

AT&T is being coy about the price and release date, saying only that it will be available in the coming weeks.

Samsung Releases Kernel Source For AT&T Version Of The Galaxy S4

Posted by in AT&T, Galaxy S4, News

Developers take note: Samsung is getting some more source code out the door, but it's just one device this time. The kernel source for AT&T's version of the Galaxy S4 is out, and it's up for grabs at Samsung's open source site.

Kernel source for a few other variants of Samsung's flagship have already been posted. In fact, this development means T-Mobile is the only major carrier whose GS4 hasn't joined the open source club. It's a strange world when Verizon, Sprint, and now AT&T devices have kernel sources posted before T-Mobile.

The AT&T GS4 kernel source is available on the page linked below.

Samsung Makes The Galaxy S4 Zoom Official: 16MP, 10x Optical Zoom, 3G/LTE, And Phone Calls Too

Posted by in Galaxy S4 Zoom, News, Samsung

We're starting to wonder if Samsung will have anything left to announce at the London event next week - they've made three new phones and two new tablets official in the small amount of time since the event was scheduled. The latest is the Galaxy S4 Zoom, an update to both the never-ending string of Galaxy S4 variants and last year's Galaxy Camera that's been caught in the wild already. This time around, the device is a phone first: the S4 Zoom has smartphone capabilities as well as pretty respectable point-and-shoot specs.

On the phone side of things, the S4 Zoom shares quite a lot with the Galaxy S4 Mini, including a 4.3-inch 960x540 screen (super AMOLED), a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor (which may be slightly altered by market), and both 3G and LTE versions.

[Deal Alert] Amazon Wireless Drops Verizon's Galaxy S 4 To $119 For New Contracts

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy S4, News, Verizon Wireless

A few days ago, Dell dropped the price of both Sprint's and Verizon's variants of the Galaxy S 4 to $119 and $129 respectively. Not to be outdone, Amazon Wireless has now undercut Big D by $10, and is offering Verizon's GS4 for $119 for new contracts ($170 for upgrades). That's a pretty solid deal if you don't want to buy from Dell, though I'd be remiss not to mention the $50 eGift card that Dell is throwing in if you do decide to buy through them. If you have no intention of buying anything else from Dell, however, Amazon's deal is the way to go.

[Update: Winner!] Win A Free Galaxy S 4 For Your Dad From Samsung And Android Police This Fathers' Day

Posted by in Contests / Giveaways, Galaxy S4
Last Updated: June 16th, 2013

Back in May, we teamed up with Samsung to offer one lucky person a chance to show their mum how much they care with a Galaxy Note II. Since dads are pretty awesome, too, we've once again joined forces with Sammy to give one lucky soul a chance to show his or her dad that he's the man with a Galaxy S4.

The Galaxy S 4 (our review) has all the things that a dad can appreciate – a good camera, a blazing-fast user experience, and more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at (not sure why you'd shake a stick at something like bells and whistles in the first place though).

Better Late Than Never: AT&T Galaxy S II (SGH-I777) Finally Gets Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Update, Build UCMD8

Posted by in Galaxy S II, News

Months after its flighty sibling, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, received an update to Android 4.1.2, it seems that the vanilla GS2 on AT&T is finally ready for its Jelly Bean bump. Threads on XDA and the official AT&T forums confirm that the update - build number UCMD8 - is now available, just check for an update through Kies.

We don't yet have a changelog for the update, but you can assume that for Galaxy S II users, the number of changes coming from the Ice Cream Sandwich TouchWiz builds won't be huge. You will, though, get some of Jelly Bean's useful additions - rich, expandable notifications and Google Now probably being the most noticeable enhancements.

Samsung Announces The Galaxy Ace 3 In 3G And LTE Versions, Coming Soon To A Budget Carrier Near You

Posted by in News, Samsung

It's been said that a rising tide lifts all boats. So it is with the smartphone market: today Samsung announced the latest addition to its budget line, with hardware and software slowly rising as flagships push for newer horizons. The Galaxy Ace 3 is the latest of Samsung's innumerable additions to an already huge smartphone lineup, packing a 4" WVGA LCD screen, a 1Ghz dual-core processor (1.2Ghz for the LTE model), and Sammy's highly-skinned version of Android 4.2. Availability and pricing haven't been announced, but "soon" and "not very much" are safe assumptions.

There are two versions of the Galaxy Ace 3 planned at the moment: 3G and LTE.

[One-Day Deal Alert] Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Is Woot's Daily Sale: $299.99 Refurbished

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000 / N8010 / N8013), News, Samsung

If $350 for the newer Galaxy Note 8.0 is too much and you're looking for something a bit bigger anyway, you'd do well to head over to the geek-friendly Woot.com sometime today. They're offering the 16GB WiFi Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for $299.99, although it's a refurbished model. That's a solid $200 off the retail price, though you can certainly get it for less if you're prepared to hunt (Amazon has the new 16GB version for $449). As with all regular Woot sales, the tablet is offered today only, and regular shipping to the US is a flat $5.

When Ron Amadeo reviewed the Galaxy Tab 10.1 back in August, he found the software solid (with special emphasis on the apps that take advantage of the Wacom digitizer and S-pen stylus) but the hardware lacking in nearly every category.

CyanogenMod 10.1 Support Added To Galaxy S4 International LTE (i9505) And Cricket Models, Sony Xperia Tablet Z WiFi

Posted by in Galaxy S4, News, Samsung, Sony, Xperia Tablet Z

In their never-ending quest to bring CyanogenMod to every Android device on the face of the planet (or at least all of them with unlocked bootloaders, modern hardware, and a big user base - not all that many, in fact, forget I mentioned it) the CM team is expanding the 10.1 build to three new devices this weekend. The unlocked international LTE version of the Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505) and Cricket's branded variant both get new nightly builds of the ROM, as does the WiFi-only version of Sony's Xperia Tablet Z.

The WiFi tablet is a bit of a strange one.
