With the incoming rumor that Google will be adding a number of manufacturers to the Nexus program it runs yearly as oppose to just one, I’m sure many people are wondering who will make the cut. Of course, nobody knows who or what will make the cut to be added to the Nexus program if, [...]
This is somewhat of a shake up to the status quo we’re bringing you today. The Wall Street Journal has learned – from sources ‘close’ to the matter, naturally – that Google is planning to partner with multiple OEMs come fall to deliver Pure Google experiences to the masses.

When ICS was launched, I was worried that ICS might never arrive on the low-end phones with ARM11 processors. In a way, I was even hoping that doesn’t happen, because I am really tired of seeing this slow and ancient processor on the market. The biggest problem might not even be that it’s slow, but [...]

When we got our hands on the Samsung Galaxy SIII last week at CTIA, we came away impressed with all of the software tweaks that were made to take it beyond just an impressive hardware device. While many of us hate the look of TouchWiz, it’s hard to deny that Samsung isn’t trying to pack [...]

Samsung’s GT i9300, more popularly known as the Galaxy S III, will be released in Europe on May 29th, and in preparation for that long-anticipated moment, the company has today uploaded its manual online. When you include all the prefaces, indexes, and regulation-mandated warnings, this document balloons out to 181 pages, but you’ll only need [...]
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S3 is just another step closer to making its way to North America. This device supports AT&T’s HSPA+ radios, but will not work on T-Mobile’s as those users would likely be stuck on Edge. Couple in in the fact that LTE is absent and we’d say this one is [...]
Remember how Apple tried to obtain a preliminary injunction against Samsung to stop them from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (and some phones) from being sold in the U.S.? If you’ll recall, Samsung won that battle as the district court denied Apple’s request, questioning the validity of a couple of Apple’s patents. The court couldn’t [...]

Both Google and Samsung have been pushing for phones and displays that curve for the past one year and a half since the Nexus S, but to be honest, I’ve never really understood them. I don’t see this as a huge benefit to the user, but more like a gimmick, that might even hurt the [...]

There’s no question there was a lot of disappointment in the air when Samsung announced the Galaxy S III with just a Super AMOLED HD display without the “Plus” in it. By not having the “plus” means PenTile and that makes everyone nervous. So where is the Super AMOLED HD Plus display? Apparently it’s in [...]
A Verizon handset known only has the SCH-i535 has appeared on benchmarking app NenaMark’s leaderboards. The listing is very thin on information, but SCH-i535 is undoubtably a Samsung handset – the Verizon Galaxy Nexus has the model number SCH-i515.
