Ad agencies, and the large technology companies that hire them, are always looking for new and innovative ways to get their message across to existing and potential customers. Just like in any walk of life, the agencies that have a track record of thinking outside of the box in order to boost their clients profile are usually the ones that gain the most traction and propel themselves to the top of the advertising food chain. M&C Saatchi - an ad company from Stockholm, Sweden – has come up with the idea of using an existing technology and advertising medium in an entirely different way in order to spread the word about the new LG G2 smartphone.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3, the new king on the throne that was crowned just last month when the device became available worldwide, brings a lot of improvements and enhancements over the former champion, the Note 2, in terms of software and features. Hardware was different, too, agreed, but it was mainly the software improvements that set the two devices apart, or, to put more appropriately, would make you cough up dough to get your hands on Note 3 instead of Note 2.
The latest big Android release was definitely the Galaxy Note 3. Both big in the attention it drew and the sheer size of the device brought to market, Samsung's new phablet is proving just as popular as the two versions that came before it. No big shocks there, then.

The fierce competition in the mobile industry is a definite win for the consumer, however, it is particularly annoying that choice of product is almost always defined by the region in which one resides. Some nations seem to have all the luck at times (looks at the United States), but with the Asian OEMs continuing to command large chunks of the smartphone market, more and more devices are built with exclusivity for the likes of Japan, Korea and China. The Samsung Galaxy J, which has just made an appearance in Japan, is like the Galaxy S4, in that it has been given a spectacular spec upgrade on what was supposed to be, or at least what we all thought was the "new" flagship.
There's been a significant amount of speculation whether or not Samsung is on the verge of announcing a device with a curved display. We've been treated to leaked information from internal sources as well as the odd sneak previews of the device for good measure, but now we have official word that the smartphone does indeed exist. Samsung themselves have announced that the Galaxy Round is in production and will be released almost immediately in Korea.
Over the past couple of years, many suggestions have been made that smartphones and tablets, as well as other digital devices, will begin to take advantage of flexible display technology. Yet while the concepts and such have been aplenty, we've yet to see a smartphone rocking a flexible display, but for those sufficiently intrigued, you won't have to wait much longer to see one. Samsung, as it does so often, is first to the draw, and its 5.7-inch Galaxy Round is said to feature a flexible panel around the edges, something which was confirmed by a Samsung executive at the end of last month.
For some reason unbeknown to the overwhelming majority of Samsung users, the Korean company decided to beset its Galaxy Note 3 with a region lock, but thanks, as ever, to the tireless and dedicated work of the folks over at XDA-Developers, a workaround is at hand. It does require root access, but provided you're okay with that, this is easily the simplest, cheapest, and most effective way of bypassing Samsung's restrictions.

When it comes to emerging products in mobile space, Samsung is very rarely caught off the pace, and following the release of the Galaxy Gear - the first smartwatch effort from any of the big names in tech - it now looks as though the company is going to create a product rivaling that of Google's Glass. According to industry insider Eldar Murtazin, the South Korean outfit is working on its own pair of digital spectacles, which Murtazin is touting for a spring release under the "Gear Glass" brand. More details can be found right here.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 3 - a massive upgrade from last year’s Note 2 phablet - is barely a few weeks old as of now, but already, a different variant has surfaced, and one that might excite users quite a bit. In line with expectations and rumors, Samsung has unveiled a dual-SIM version of the Galaxy Note 3 for a select region of the world, starting with China.
