Samsung’s Galaxy S10 5G isn’t all that far away from a release in the United States, but the phone is already hot property in South Korea. It’s so hot, in fact, that we already have one report of a handset bursting into flames.

Samsung and Apple have long been competing against one another for smartphone dominance, but it looks as though the South Korean company could be about to take a leaf out of Microsoft’s book. Samsung has already confirmed that it plans to bring official iOS support for its Gear S2 smartwatch, and now, according to a new report, the company has internal plans to release nearly all of its existing mobile apps onto Apple’s iOS platform in the coming months.

Apple has won a long-running patent case against Samsung, but we somehow doubt the infringing party will be too concerned, even though it has been ordered to cease selling devices that infringe upon Apple’s patents in their current form.

Smartphone case maker Speck has entered the virtual reality space with its very own VR viewer, which is collapsible, can fit into a pocket, and comes with a military-grade case.

New rumors suggest Samsung’s Galaxy S7 will come with Apple’s 3D Touch-like ClearForce-powered pressure sensitive display to rival the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

Samsung has announced a series of “specialized usability accessories” designed for its Galaxy Core Advance smartphone – a device that the company recently released for those with special usability requirements. The new roster of add-ons, which includes a cover that can help visually-impaired users to navigate without hitting obstacles, is part of a concerted push from Samsung and other vendors to focus on accessibility, and with more devices and peripherals planned beyond the current low-end Galaxy Core Advance, the range looks set to expand in the coming months.

Whether you love or loathe the Korean electronics outfit’s products, it’s a fair assessment that the mobile world wouldn’t be the same without Samsung. Tenacious and audacious in equal measure, the company seems to know no limits when it comes to experimenting with new technologies and ideas, and now Bloomberg is reporting that Samsung plans to release a smartphone with a wraparound display in 2014.

Samsung may have only just got the Galaxy S4 out the door, and recently we’ve seen leaks of the Galaxy S4 mini, but it seems that the company has more new toys to show us after invites went out for a ‘Samsung Premiere 2013 event.’ More details can be found right after the jump.

Although the Samsung vs. Apple trial has a decent amount of show time left before the jury is sent to deliberate on what they have heard during its entirety, it seems that Apple has a lot to be positive about. Although judge Lucy Koh has been less than happy so far with the behavior of both legal counsels, it has been the Samsung representatives that have taken most of the judicial negativity thus far, but we should know by now that anything can – and usually does – happen in cases such as these.

Although both Apple and Samsung legal representatives are spending most of their working days locked in a Californian court room battling out their difficulties, it hasn’t stopped the two companies putting plans in place to make an assault on the smartphone industry. After all, business is business, and although the two largest smartphone vendors in the world clearly have issues. With Apple planning to entice users over to the fruity side with the announcement and release of the next-generation iPhone sometime next month, it seems that Samsung have their own plans for market domination.

With many products from various manufacturers already said to be arriving in what’s shaping up to be an explosive next few months, Samsung has voluntarily added itself to the fray by notifying the guys over at TheVerge of a significant Galaxy announcement on August 15th.

Considering that Samsung have been experiencing a little bit of ridicule recently thanks to the release of the monstrous Galaxy Note, which by the way features a stylus, they could do with introducing something publicly appealing at this years Mobile World Conference in Barcelona. The Korean company was widely predicted to be all quiet on the new product front at MWC due to the fact that they don’t have any official press events planned and that they actually pulled out on launching the Galaxy S3 at the event in favor of delaying for a more worldwide universal launch.
