Is this really our first look at the Samsung Galaxy S4?
Alright, put on your skeptic’s hat. The above image is making the rounds with the claim that it is our first look at the Samsung Galaxy S4. If it is, it looks like we will finally see Samsung ditch the physical home button and possibly move toward Android’s virtual navigation buttons. We say possibly because [...]
Samsung starts rolling out software update in the UK to fix Exynos security flaw – S3 gets it first

Seeder app claims to remove any and all lag from rooted Android devices – Does it work?
Lag. It’s something we could all definitely live without. With all these new high-powered quad-core processors hitting the market, you may have noticed that no matter how powerful your device, there’s still a half second (or longer) of time spent waiting for an app to open. I figured this had more to do with slow [...]
My Galaxy Note 2 suffered a 20-foot drop…
…and it came out 100% fine thanks to that case up above. It’s not often you get a chance to test out the claims of a protective case, but I had the unfortunate opportunity to find out that my choice — a generic metal bumper case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 — lives up [...]

Be glad this early Android mascot didn’t make the cut
The little green robot we have all come to know as the official mascot of Android may never have been if a few folks at Google didn’t come to their senses. Pictured here is Googler Dan Morrill’s early representation for Android, designed to coincide with an in-house launch of the fledgling mobile OS back in [...]

2013 Audit: what’s going on with Google Voice?
Once upon a time, no one could quit talking about Google Voice.

Things like a dedicated Google Voice number, the ability to use the [...]
Does a Samsung Tizen phone in 2013 signal a shift away from Android?
Samsung has confirmed for Bloomberg Businessweek that it intends to ship not one, but multiple Tizen-based smartphones this year. The phones, which would rely on a platform that shares much of its DNA with the abandoned Samsung pet project Bada OS, won’t be scheduled for a wide release, but their impact on the Korean company’s mobile [...]
