Before we begin, we'd just like to say something to everyone who's going to call us out for click-baiting with that "Galaxy S 5" title: your allegations are completely founded and true. But look here: even though Galaxy S 5 rumors are (to say the least) premature and indicative of a serious problem with our nasty-fast industry -an issue we discuss on the air- they're also important. That's because, as unreliable and, frankly, stupid as they are, they also give us an opportunity to discuss the future of Samsung industrial design. And any opportunity we get to talk about the Galaxy family in ...

So far, if you've wanted a Samsung Galaxy S 4, that's meant the choice between a phone running an Exynos 5 Octa and a Snapdragon 600. That Exynos chip may still be the top dog in Samsung's SoC family, but the 600 is about to give way to the Snapdragon 800 this summer. Rather than letting that new chip only power brand new phones, we're wondering if Samsung could be planning to release new GS4 models with Snapdragon 800s at their core, after seeing a few phones with that chip get their DLNA certifications. Three SHV-E330 variants – the SHV-E330L, K, and S – show up in DLNA paperwork ...

The Android phablet landscape is about to get very interesting. So far we've seen it dominated by Samsung's Galaxy Note, and more recently, the Note II. Sure, smartphones themselves have gotten larger sine the first Note arrived, but this mid-five-inch-and-up range is still the domain of the phablet. Now we're looking to add a couple new members to that club, and from where I stand it looks like Samsung just might have a fight on its hands; will the upcoming phablets from Sony and HTC be the ones to snatch phablet domination away from the Note series? Following the Note's surprise success ...

It was an inevitability: with Samsung's Galaxy S 4 firmly arrived, rumors are already beginning to show up for next year's flagship, the Galaxy S 5. Now, it may seem premature to start talking about things like SoC choice quite this far out, when we don't really even have a strong sense of what the options will be, but today's rumor has very different focus, looking at the GS5's design, instead. If we're to believe this source, Samsung could be taking a page from HTC and the One, and deliver a fully-aluminum Galaxy S 5. This tidbit comes from an anonymous "trusted source close to the South ...

Smartphones can't possibly get any bigger, can they? We all asked ourselves this after Samsung introduced the original Galaxy Note. Then came the Galaxy Note II, 0.2-inches larger than the original. And Huawei presented the 6.1-inch Ascend Mate to the world at CES in January. Again, we thought there is no way phones are getting any larger. Well, Samsung has done it again. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a gigantic phone. It towers over the Galaxy Note II, what was – and still is, for that matter – considered too large by many. But we would be doing you guys and gals a disservice if we didn't ...

Yesterday, we brought you some images of a device purporting to be the in-development Galaxy Note III, with what looked like a big six-inch screen. Today, that's joined by a new picture, apparently showing the Note III next to a couple other phones. No soon has it hit the scene, though, that we're hearing claims that it's a fake (or at least being misrepresented) and what we're really looking at is the Galaxy Mega 6.3. Does that theory hold up to scrutiny? GSM Arena prepared the lovely analysis of the new image above, using known measurements of that Nokia handset to identify the screen ...

Of all the major manufacturers, Samsung pretty clearly has the most variety to offer users when it comes to a selection of tablets. You can choose between a number of sizes, and the arrival of tablet-sized Notes gives users the choice between different feature sets, as well. Now a new rumor suggests that Samsung could be looking to push beyond its own boundaries a little bit, and could be preparing to launch its largest tablet ever. Korea's ET News claims that "industry sources" have indicated that Samsung will release a 12.2-inch tablet during the third quarter of the year. While there's ...

There's absolutely no doubt that a Samsung Galaxy Note II refresh is arriving this year. So far IFA was the place where the manufacturer announced its phablets, but Samsung might move away from the show. It did move away from MWC for the Galaxy S III. A Samsung Galaxy Note III prototype leak tries to depict the upcoming device. There aren't many details aside from the fact that we're looking at a huge screen with relatively small bezel. The resolution is reportedly Full HD, just as we'd expect. Let the pictures do the talking and you let us know what you think. If the previous iterations ...
