Considering all of the hype that circulated for months prior to the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S III, there was little doubt that the handset would become a huge hit. While it may not feature every specification we had expected — like the ceramic body or a Super AMOLED Plus display — it has

T-Mobile USA’s Amaze 4G isn’t the only Android device on America’s fourth largest carrier receiving a software bump Monday. T-Mobile will begin rolling out software version T989UVLDE today, which will bring a plethora of fixes to Samsung’s Galaxy S II. It may not be the Android 4.0 update that many of you have been craving, but

It’s been little over two weeks since Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S III in London, and little over one week since carriers in Europe began taking pre-orders. But the Korean company’s long-awaited flagship smartphone has already racked up over 9 million pre-orders with over 100 carriers worldwide. That’s according to an unnamed Samsung executive who let

T-Mobile’s aggressive “Magenta Deal Days” initiative is continuing on with yet another enticing offer that’s set to kick off in just a few short days. The carrier announced on Wednesday it will offer a Buy-One-Get-One promotion from May 18 through May 28 on select handsets, including the amazing HTC One S. Existing customers will only

The passing of the torch; Heir to the throne; Scion. Describe it how you will: Samsung’s most successful smartphone to date is being properly succeeded by its bigger, beefier brother. This isn’t simply an upgrade to LTE, as was the case with the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Samsung has introduced a bonafide contender for smartphone

I’m going to avoid lamenting on Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich roll out, or lack thereof, and instead just let the numbers do the talking. The OS, which launched back in October of 2011, is now on 4.9 percent of devices — an improvement from a month earlier. The latest data collected during a 14-day period

T-Mobile’s HTC One S may be the Belle of the Ball right now, but that doesn’t mean the carrier won’t have grand plans for the coming months. TmoNews has acquired not only release dates for upcoming devices, but when certain handsets, such as the Galaxy S II, can expect Ice Cream Sandwich. Before we dive

I’d have bet my house and children (okay, maybe not my children) on the Galaxy S II’s successor being named the “Galaxy S III,” but until now, Samsung has been referring to the handset only as the “next Galaxy.” In fact, the Korean company has been highly secretive over all aspects of its next flagship

I’m almost certain I’ve seen more prototypes and mockups for the Samsung Galaxy S III than I’ve ever seen for any other smartphone before. And with just over a week still to go before the device gets its unveiling in London, there’s plenty of time for more. This one comes from the Chinese forum Mobile1.

Samsung has released a list of products launched in the United States that will receive an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The company will update the following devices on AT&T: the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, the Galaxy Note, the Captivate Glide, the Nexus S and the Galaxy Tab 8.9.

No one knows for certain yet what the Galaxy S III will bring to the market, and we’re unlikely to find out until Samsung’s press event in London on May 3. But that hasn’t stopped masses of people from purchasing it already. In fact, the device is already the bestselling handset on Germany’s Amazon.de. The

If you bit the bullet and ponied up the cash to buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II, you’re in for a bit of a treat. It appears that Samsung is finally bringing Android 4.0 to owners of the global version of its critically acclaimed smartphone in the United States. The OTA update can automatically

New data from a Reuters poll of analysts suggests Samsung may have dethroned Nokia as the global cellphone leader. Nokia had previously held the crown for 14 consecutive years. Data culled from a Nokia sales announcement on Wednesday, along with the continued popularity of Samsung, indicates the South Korea-based company has surpassed the Finnish handset

While recent rumors have claimed that Huawei’s exciting Ascend D will begin shipping in July, the Chinese company is yet to announce where exactly its first quad-core smartphone will make its debut. It has confirmed, however, that it will be coming to the U.K. When asked by Pocket-lint whether the Ascend D would be available to U.K.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is undoubtedly one of this year’s most anticipated Android smartphones so far. And despite not actually being unveiled by Samsung at this point, we’ve already seen a handful of images that claim to be the new device. The latest sports a whole new, almost futuristic look, and it appears on

Android users who have been waiting for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 2 to hit the U.K. may be wondering why it didn’t arrive in March as previously promised by the company itself at Mobile World Congress. The Korean electronics giant has now confirmed that the slate has been delayed. ComputerWorld reports that the reason for the

If you own the international Samsung Galaxy S II, you’re last on the list to receive Ice Cream Sandwich. Speaking with CNET UK, Simon Stanford, VP of Samsung Telecom and Networks for Samsung UK and Ireland, said the unlocked device will get the update “once [Samsung's] got all of the operator pieces on board.” Stanford

So Samsung wasn’t lying when it said it wouldn’t unveil its long-awaited Galaxy S III in March; we’re now a week into April and we’re still waiting for the device. But according to Samsung China’s president, it will arrive this month. And when it does, it could be sporting a stunning 4.65-inch Super AMOLED Plus

It can be difficult at times to be an Android fan because there are so many devices saturating the market. We chimed in on the subject a few months back, but our tune is slowly changing.

According to Canaccord Genuity analyst Mike Walkley, Apple’s iPhone 4S remained the top selling smartphone in the U.S. through last month, continuing its dominance since it was released last October.

Anticipation for the Samsung Galaxy S III is high. Feeding that anticipation is a steady stream of weekly rumors, making the device into one of the most hyped smartphones in the last twelve months. And according to the always eager to share Eldur Murtazin, excitement has reached such a fever pitch that Samsung partners have

Four months after its announcement, Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich is still largely floating around in the black void of OS space. The truth is that most Android owners haven’t seen ICS, though manufacturers have improved, however slightly, on pushing out the update. It’s understandable upgrade availability and timing will vary, but in order to light

Yesterday an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich build was leaked for AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket. On Tuesday, RootzWiki also leaked an Ice Cream Sandwich build for AT&T’s Galaxy S II.
