Watch: Samsung Releases Official Galaxy Note 4 Bend Test Video

Ben Reid·October 3, 2014

Samsung versus Apple is one of the most fiercely contested battles in the mobile industry, but while these two titans of tech regularly astonish us with their products, they're both often inclined to take matters down to an infantile, school yard level. When Apple first launched the iPhone 6 early last month, the Korean outfit was one of a host of companies to baulk at its rival's decision to implement features that it, along with others, had been peddling for years, and with the recent Bendgate scandal - such as it is - Sammy has once again attempted to laud over its arch nemesis.

Forget iPhone 6 Bendgate, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Has A Serious Display Problem

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

The roll out of the Galaxy Note 4 has been brought forward by Samsung in a somewhat hurried attempt to compete with the unforeseen popularity of Apple's two new iPhones, but in its haste, the Korean outfit may have released some units with a quite significant design issue. As the Tizen maker's Cupertino rival looks to recover from the Bendgate issue, it has emerged that some Note 4 users have discovered quite a large gap between the display and the outer frame - sizeable enough to fit a business card or a couple of sheets of paper - and given the asking price of the latest installment to the iconic phablet series, it's not exactly the kind of build quality that said users would've expected.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Bend Test On Video [Spoiler: It Bends And Cracks]

Ben Reid·September 25, 2014

Social media has been abuzz over the past 24 hours with reports that the iPhone 6 Plus has a bit of a problem, in that the aluminum shell appears to bend while in users' pockets with apparently very little force being applied. The controversy has sparked a fierce debate on Twitter, and while some believe that Apple's own design is at fault, others are of the opinion that if you sit on your device or place it in a precarious position, then you're basically asking for trouble. Apple has yet to make a comment, and given that the scale of the issue doesn't seem to be widespread, there's no telling whether the company will release a statement on the matter, but for the sake of entertainment / argument, one YouTuber has also carried out the 'bend test' on a Samsung Galaxy S4. Does it bend? Find out after the fold.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 4, which was announced prior to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier on this month, has still yet to make general release, but with ten million units of Apple's new duo of devices sold over the first weekend alone, Sammy is now pulling out all the stops to ensure that its just-showcased handset reaches the end user as soon as possible.

Samsung never seems to take a break from releasing smartphones, and having only rolled out the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge earlier on this month, has just taken the wraps off the successor to the Galaxy Mega. Like the original handset - it's hard to call it a handset given the sheer size of the thing - the Galaxy Mega packs a sizeable display, pushing the 5.8-inch diameter of the previous version up to the 6-inch mark. As was the case before, though, the specs are nothing to write home about, so if you're seeking mid-range performance over a large canvas, join us below for the finer details.

iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Announcement Fuels Trade-In Of Samsung Devices

Paul Morris·September 12, 2014

Samsung may have taken the earliest possible opportunity to mock Apple's latest iPhone - and let's be honest here, we wouldn't expect anything less from the maker of the Galaxy Series of devices - but it seems that the unveiling of the iPhone 6 may be adversely affecting the Korean company in a way they'd never care to admit. In the aftermath of Tuesday's media event at the Flint Center, buyback service Gazelle are reporting that requests for Samsung hardware trade-ins were up over 200% as consumers look to free up some financial capacity to purchase the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus when it hits the shelves.

Many of Apple's mobile adversaries, including HTC and Samsung, took to Twitter on Tuesday to offer their verdicts on the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus launch, and rather unsurprisingly, the new smartphone double-act didn't garner favorable reviews. While you'd expect rivals to take a pop at one another at times like this, though, there's a special animosity between Samsung and its Californian rival, and as such, the Korean outfit has upped the ante with a series of half a dozen clips picking faults in Apple's newly-unleashed devices. In addition, there's even a little dig at the hit-and-miss live stream that Apple put out, below, you can enjoy the playlist in its entirety.

Size Comparison: iPhone 6 Plus Vs Galaxy Note 4 Vs Lumia 1520 Vs LG G3

Ben Reid·September 11, 2014

Apple's announcement of the iPhone 6 Plus is not only significant in that it's a great deal larger than any smartphone the company has created before, but it also drafts the Cupertino company into the realm of the "phablet." A term derived from the combination of phone and tablet, these large handsets have taken the smartphone world by storm over the past few years, and while Samsung's Galaxy Note was the originator of this niche market, it now shares this space with several rivaling vendors. Below, you can take a look at how the iPhone 6 Plus stands up - in terms of size and specs, both - against the also-new Galaxy Note 4, Nokia's Lumia 1520 and LG's mammoth G3.
