Samsung Galaxy Note Review
We know this one’s a little late, but we thought that while we eagerly await Samsung’s Galaxy S III to show up on our doorstep and with the Galaxy Note 2 supposedly around the corner we should at least finally do a Samsung Galaxy Note review. The phone/tablet, or “phablet”, hybrid has sparked polarizing opinions amongst smartphone users regarding both its size and the viability of its capacitive stylus.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Preview
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the direct successor to the original and remarkably successful Galaxy Note. The Galaxy Note almost single-handedly created the niche, yet thriving “phablet” industry, with its originally questionable size that sits somewhere between what one might consider a smartphone and a tablet. Knocked by many at first, and still to this day by a few less, the Galaxy Note managed to find its place in an ever increasing, yet oftentimes evolutionarily one-directional industry.
Samsung Planning iCloud Competitor
We’ve been hearing talk that Samsung is looking to release its own cloud service, currently known as ‘S-Cloud’, in order to compete with Apple’s popular iCloud.

Galaxy S III Rumour Run-Down
There have been a multitude of rumors flying about regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone.

So which rumors are true and which are false?

Samsung Turns its Display Game Up
Samsung was already one of the world’s biggest names when it came to displays. Probably competing most effectively in this area within the mobile and TV markets, Samsung has been a forerunner in display technology for years now. The impressive Super AMOLED displays of Samsung’s mobile devices, huge ultra-thin TV screens and upcoming OLED widescreen product line in the home entertainment market have definitely assisted Samsung on the display-front.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has the honour of being the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) device available on the market. As a collaboration between Google and Samsung, the Galaxy Nexus both looks and functions a bit differently than other Samsung-manufactured smartphones we've seen in the past. We took it for a spin to check out its new operating system (OS), as well as wether or not the Galaxy Nexus is worthy of the Android flagship throne.
Smart Skins for Smartphones
Samsung has seen its fair share of accusations when it comes to a lack of originality with external design. In many cases these have been justified claims, generally relating to the similarities that can be drawn between many of Samsung’s devices and the popular iPhone line.
ICS Headed to Galaxy S II March 10
It’s about time. Beginning on March 10, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) will be rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S II devices around the world. This rollout is for the global version of the GS2 and thus won’t help out most US owners, but there should hopefully be an update for the current 3 different Galaxy S II variants on the US market soon.
The Samsung Galaxy Beam is Cool
You’re probably sick by now of hearing us lament over the lack of niche phones in the market and the seemingly unrelenting pushing forward of processing power without much effort going to enhancing other areas of smartphone performance or even offering something completely new. Fortunately for us big companies like Samsung do occasionally come out with something intriguing and of late it even seems to be becoming more of a trend, with intriguing shinies cropping up with more and more regularity. The latest Samsung piece of interest is the Samsung Galaxy Beam, but first we'd like to point out some of the other cool stuff we've been seeing in the past year or so.
