Samsung's J.K. Shin, one of several of the company's CEOs, has confirmed in an interview Reuters that his company is preparing a faster variant of its Galaxy S4 in the near future, featuring support for LTE Advanced. What's more, the new model could become available to some markets next month, and while the currently available versions of the S4 aren't renowned for their lack of speed, it's good to see Samsung continually looking to improve things.
When looking into purchasing a new smartphone, consumers look at a wide range of variables before making a final decision. This can vary from person to person, with some looking for a great camera and high quality display, while others are more focused on longevity, with removable batteries and microSD expansion. Whatever your personal points of consideration may be, most of us can unite on the fact that we want our devices to be able to withstand the day-to-day wear and tear it will inevitably go through. If you are considering a purchase of the hottest property in the mobile industry right now, the Samsung Galaxy S4, will surely want to know whether it can hold its own in the big bad world, and the video stress test below gives a general idea of how rugged the current darling of the Android space is when faced with various situations.
I have been testing Samsung Galaxy S4 here at Redmond Pie, and having spent quite a few days putting it through its paces, I’m going to be offering my critical assessment. The latest in an immensely popular series, it’s easily the most sought-after handset of the year thus far, and if you’re currently on the fence with regards to whether the device warrants your hard-earned cash, you’ll hopefully be a little closer to deciding after reading this hands-on review.
In the light of the announcements of the Google versions of the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4, the talk about Sense and TouchWiz and their associated bloat seems to have petered out. But while an AOSP update is still on the cards for current owners of these two industry darlings, consumers still have to content with this annoying added baggage. The Galaxy S4 16GB only actually offers 9.15GB of storage once you factor in the extra apps, but a new update for German users of the Korean company's flagship smartphone brings a little, and I mean very little bit of respite.
In a legal battle which doesn’t seem to have any sort of end whatsoever, Apple and Samsung’s brawl for supremacy in the courtroom has taken a new turn as the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that Apple infringes on Samsung’s patents.
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S4 mini smartphone, and we have all the details about said handset put together in one place. Check it out after the jump.
The Samsung Galaxy S series may be the most popular in the Android scene, but the Korean company's phablet Note range has certainly risen to prominence over the past couple of years. 2011's initial launch was followed by a successful follow-up last year, and as such, anticipation levels for the Note III are as high as they've ever been. With the Galaxy S4 now done and dusted, it's perhaps one of the main focal points in mobile space, and an unnamed Samsung executive has apparently dished a few more intriguing details.
Samsung is known for its strange advertising campaigns. The maker of smartphones, tablets and just about anything else with a batter or a plug usually likes to poke fun at its competitors in TV ads for example. Even the company's product announcements can be surreal affairs, but the latest stunt wins the prize for being plain old weird. Interested in knowing what it is? Check it out after the jump.
Samsung today accidentally gave the world a sneak peak at a smartphone that we've all pretty much known was on the way, and that phone is the much talked about Galaxy S4 mini.
Early sales figures of the two biggest flagship Android smartphones thus far this year have shown once again that when it comes to overall consumer appeal, the Samsung Galaxy S series is still head and shoulders above the rest. The 10 million handsets shifted in first month of the latest and greatest Galaxy S4 is double the unofficial 5 million quoted sales of the HTC One in the same timeframe, but with the Taiwanese company still managing to flog the unibody device at a quicker rate than it can make them, its own sales figures are certainly not to be baulked at.
