T-Mobile and AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 update is ready for those who own Samsung's flagship on either of the two carriers. The T-Mobile variant's refresh is version M919UVUAMDL and it brings, according to the official carrier wording, Visual Voicemail app improvements as well as ISIS app improvements. There might also be some other changes and fixes under the hood though. The Galaxy S 4 on AT&T is getting version I337UCUAMDL and, while there is no official wording yet, those who installed the over-the-air update are reporting performance improvements. However, until we get an ...

Apparently, Acer dismisses Windows RT. After previously being a heavy critic of Windows 8, company president Jim Wong -- who once believed that consumers were confused about Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system --  stated that "there's no value doing the current version of RT". While at an Acer event in New York, president Wong acknowledged that "the plan for an RT tablet is ongoing". However, Acer would rather wait for the next iteration of Microsoft's Windows RT platform, due to be released later this year. The company will then decide whether to adopt it or not. Furthermore, there ...

Samsung Galaxy Core is another Galaxy phone from the company, joining the endless list of similarly named phones, powered by Google's Android operating system (because everybody knew you couldn't start your week off without another Samsung Galaxy phone). Don't get your hopes too high though, the Samsung Galaxy Core is a low-end phone! It features a 1.2 GHz Dual-Core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of Internal Storage, a 4.3-inch WVGA (yes) screen, VGA webcam, five-megapixel main shooter with flash, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and a Samsung Galaxy S 4-like back design (which we think Samsung will ...

This phone might very well be the LG Optimus G2 or Nexus 5. It might also be something completely different but our logic dictates we could speculate towards the Nexus approach. First there was the Google Nexus 4 made by LG and then there was the LG Optimus G. According to recent rumors Google and LG are working, again, on another Nexus phone made by the South Korean company. Now the Nexus 5, whatever it will be, might refer to a five-inch screen or the fifth Nexus phone. Nothing really solid to hold onto here but we know the Nexus 4 will be due for a refresh around October, considering ...

Apple increases lead over Samsung in the U.S., according to the latest numbers from comScore, referring to the quarter ending March 2013. We've recently seen a visualization of Apple and Samsung growth over time but as far as these two main competitors are concerned, in America, the iPhone-maker is still holding its number-one spot. Apple grew from 36.3% last December to 39% at the end of March 2013, as far as the share of total smartphone subscribers is concerned. Samsung has also seen a growth, slight though, from 21% to 21.7%, meaning Apple has managed to distance itself compared to its ...

The Fonepad is a first effort from ASUS, and a decent one at that, though often frowned upon. It's not the only tablet on the market that is equipped with a physical earpiece, but it is part of a select few products from companies that try to address a specific, though not overly popular, need of the market. If you do a lot of on-the-go work on your tablet you surely know the feeling of carrying around another device: a phone. Whether that's for tethering or, most of the time, calls, it really depends on your particular needs. While you can easily overcome the phone-tablet combination ...

When it comes to battery life we’re all n00bs! And you know what? You shouldn’t necessarily have to be a power user just to get a solid day out of your phone. This is what phone manufacturers don’t seem to understand (or they understand it perfectly but are much more interested in selling their products than delivering us, users, what we need). There’s a reason I have officially designated the Samsung Galaxy Note II, and its 11.78Wh (3,100mAh) battery, to be my “official show-covering” phone. Actually, as I think about it, the Pocketnow team’s majority uses Samsung’s ...

Topic Yes, we're bringing our Samsung Galaxy S 4 devices to the hangout and you can ask questions about the phone from the Editor that reviewed it.
