Samsung will soon release a new smartphone onto the US Cellular carrier. The Galaxy Metrix 4G will debut this Friday, August 24th as a typical mid-range Android smartphone with LTE and a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard. There’s nothing particularly exciting about it. It does have the aforementioned physical keyboard for folks who are still adamantly…
It’s quiet. Too quiet. Nexus rumors have been awfully few and far between this year, so it’s no surprise that plenty of people are beginning to think there may not even be a Nexus device for 2012. Wait a minute though, here comes a rumor seemingly contradicting that theory. There may not be one, not…
Judge Lucy Koh asked the CEOs of Samsung and Apple yesterday to try one more time to reach a settlement before the patent trial of the century goes to the jury.

Nine days before the new Galaxy Note’s official announcement in Berlin, Samsung released a short teaser clip on YouTube. As you’re about to see, the Korean giant wants us to think of their phablet device as a tool for unleashing creativity in everyone of us. To that end, they’ve hired Wim Wenders, director of the…
Samsung Galaxy R, which is an Android-based smartphone that sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, is getting its serving of Ice Cream Sandwich as we speak. Actually only users in select countries like Sweden are included in the first batch, but after that “test phase” (or whatever) is over, it’s…
Samsung will apparently launch a new media player in the next few weeks. Marked as YP-GP1, it looks like the Galaxy S III though it obviously lacks cellular radio. Moreover, instead of packing a 4.8-inch HD 720p screen, it comes with a 5.8-inch one with 560×940 pixels (qHD) resolution, while a dual-core CPU clocked at…
