Samsung Canada announced on Monday that it will begin rolling out the highly anticipated Android 4.0 software push to multiple Galaxy devices throughout the Great White North. Oddly Samsung was limited on specifics about the order of which carriers and which devices would be receiving the new software bump first, but things are said to

Samsung recently reported its second quarter 2012 results. The company noted a record $5.2 billion in profit for the quarter, which was primarily attributed to the company’s handset sales. The South Korea-based firm said it sold 93.5 million phones during the second quarter, including 44.5 million smartphones. As a a result, Samsung now has a

Samsung is expected to announce first-quarter profits of around $4.5 billion on Friday, Reuters said Thursday. The gain is largely being credited to strong sales of Samsung’s highly successful Galaxy smartphone family and its most recent release, the Galaxy Note. The possibility of a strong first-quarter showing has led market analysts to project further growth for

Google’s Face Unlock system has become a headline feature for the latest Android smartphones since its introducing in Ice Cream Sandwich, making its way into several TV commercials for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. However, it has come under scrutiny a number of times in recent months after it was discovered that a photograph of the

Samsung has issued an update to the Android-powered Galaxy S in its homeland of Korea this morning, introducing a number of the headline features that were introduced with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This isn’t a full Ice Cream Sandwich release, however. The Galaxy S isn’t capable of running the full ICS operating system, so this

After waiting months for its arrival, Sky subscribers in the U.K. will finally get access to Sky Go on selected Android devices today.

Although the U.S. is a little late to the Galaxy Note party, we do know the big and proud device is headed stateside for lucky AT&T customers. For those not satisfied with 4.3-inch, or even 4.6-inch screens, your hunger for super-large is about to be satiated. But wait, could there already be hints at the

There’s been a lot of press covering Samsung’s apparent penchant for all things Apple. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, one might conjecture that the Korean giant is infatuated with the folks in Cupertino. The patent and trade dress issues concerning the Galaxy 10.1 tablet and the Galaxy phones are well known. The

When news hit that Samsung’s tremendously popular Galaxy S line wouldn’t receive the Ice Cream Sandwich treatment, users were understandably upset. Over 10 million units were sold worldwide; that’s quite a few customers that won’t be able to enjoy ICS on a device that was only released in June 2010. The Korean-based company responded by

Apparently so. According to PocketNow, which discovered the photograph on photo sharing site Picasa, this rather unexciting image of three pot plants was taken with a Samsung GT-I9500 — the codename for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III. The EXIF data doesn’t give away a lot of juicy information, but it does say that the photo was

It wasn’t easy to predict how successful the Samsung Galaxy Note would be when we were first introduced to the device at IFA in Berlin early this year. With it’s 5.3-inch display, the Galaxy Note seems a little too big to be an everyday smartphone, but a little too small to be branded a useful

Could the Samsung Galaxy S III be 3D? According to Korean-website ETNews, Sammy will be introducing the Galaxy S III at Mobile World Congress this year, and that the phone will sport a glasses-free 3D display. Under the hood the handset is rumored to come rocking a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and LTE. The

The ongoing saga of Ice Cream Sandwich coming to the original GalaxyTab and Galaxy S phone got a new, even odder, chapter today. Samsung has been having a rough time with what is going to happen with the next iteration of the Android operating system and two of its most popular products from 2010.  First

Apparently the fact that the original GalaxyTab and the Galaxy S were two of the biggest devices of 2010 might be causing Samsung to take another look at getting Ice Cream Sandwich on to them. We reported the other day that Samsung had announced via its Samsung Tomorrow blog (in Korean) that the original GalaxyTab and Galaxy

If you’re an owner of Samsung Galaxy S or Galaxy Tab, and you’ve anxiously been awaiting the arrival of Ice Cream Sandwich on your device … we’ve got some bad news for you. Samsung posted a note to its Samsung Tomorrow blog (in Korean) that detailed why the Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Tab

Google announced on its Google+ page plans to roll out Ice Cream Sandwich to GSM/UMTS Nexus S devices over the coming month, starting yesterday. Several other manufacturers have plans to update from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich on their existing handsets, however, have not announced dates when customers can hope to see the update come

At one time, Android offerings on AT&T were pretty woeful. That was then, though — the carrier has been fleshing out its offerings, with this top-notch Samsung contender  just joining the ranks. Of course AT&T isn’t the only U.S. cellular provider offering the Galaxy S II. Both T-Mobile and Sprint both have their own versions.

Is this our first (blurry) look at the Samsung Galaxy S III? An anonymous tipster sent in the image you see above – click for a larger view – to Phandroid of what is claimed to be a slide from an internal presentation at Samsung.  There are a couple caveats before we dive into this,

Not even bad weather can stop the American release of the premiere Samsung Galaxy S II. But it can delay it’s official debut by a day. The Epic 4G Touch, the CDMA carrier’s variation on the GSII, was originally scheduled to be shown off tonight in New York City, but thanks to Hurricane Irene, the

It appears as though Verizon is getting the shaft rather than getting the Samsung Galaxy S II with 4G LTE. The Wall Street Journal reports that he carrier will not offer the omnipotent Galaxy S II on their menu. As further evidence that this is the real McCoy, Verizon will not be present at the

Despite a Dutch court decision yesterday that granted Apple a preliminary injunction against Samsung’s range of Galaxy smartphones, Samsung has confirmed that the U.K. is not affected by the ban. The lawsuit applies to Samsung’s Galaxy S, Galaxy S II, and Galaxy Ace smartphones, which allegedly infringe a particular patent covering a “portable electronic device for photo management.” Samsung has

Our own Jon Rettinger is going to be in Berlin next week for this year’s IFA trade show, and when he gets there, he’ll have four new Samsung Galaxy smartphones to fondle. Samsung unveiled the latest additions to the Galaxy lineup today, with the first four devices to adopt the company’s new naming policy —
