Verizon's Galaxy Nexus looks like it might finally benefit from an update from 4.1 Jelly Bean to the latest Android version. This device has been "unfairly" left out and it's been well over 5 months since the 4.2 Jelly Bean came out. Now, you might want to try a leaked ROM for your Galaxy Nexus that may possibly turn out to be just the thing you have been waiting for.


Also, please be reminded that this is not the final version of the ROM and it could be slow or buggy initially, but it really is bound to improve. Also, it should be flashed from stock software. Back up your phone if possible and flash at your own risk, since this will void your warranty and it could even kill your phone if done incorrectly. If you're too cautious and would not want to risk your phone, wait for the official OTA rollout, it probably won't take more than a couple of months if we're hearing constant news (or rumors) about a Galaxy Nexus update.

New and official Samsung Galaxy S 4 cases have been revealed in short YouTube videos authored by Rozetka, which is a website from Ukraine. The videos provide details about three different cases that may be used to protect your Galaxy S 4: the S View Cover, Flip Cover, and another called Protective Cover+. These are official Samsung accessories, which will go perfectly with the new flagship phone.


The most interesting among the three is arguably the S View Cover, which not only protects the device but it also activates and unlocks it when the cover is opened. Furthermore, the clock is actually displayed even when the cover is closed.


On the other hand, the Flip Cover offers good protection for the screen and the back of the phone and is quite elegant to look at. Lastly, the Protective Cover+ offers ample protection as long as you do not drop your phone. Among the three, the S View Cover will probably be the more expensive case because of what it is capable of doing.

Great news, Samsung has officially announced Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S3.  The Galaxy Ace 3 now runs Google's Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system, which is skinned in Samsung's Touchwiz user interface. This doesn't give the handset all the features you'll find on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but it does deliver the S Translator, Smart Stay and S Voice features.


The Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 has a 4.3-inch TFT LCD with 480 x 800 pixels resolution. It measures 121.2 x 62.7 x 9.8 mm and weighs 115 grams. It sports a 5MP camera with LED flash and supports recording 720p HD @30fps video. There's a VGA front-facing camera.


Connectivity-wise, the Galaxy Ace 3 has dual-SIM card slots and features 3G support, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and Wi-Fi. On the software front, the device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and comes pre-loaded with Samsung-specific apps like S Translator, S Travel, Smart Stay and S Voice among others.


 



There were rumors floating around the internets a few weeks ago saying that Samsung was working on a variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note II that used Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 600 chip instead of the company's own Exynos 4 Quad. Well, turns out those rumors were true.


China Mobile, the world's largest operator, just announced a device called the GT-N7108D on Weibo (the Chinese version of Twitter), and yes, it uses the new Snapdragon. Why would Samsung make this variant? Because it'll be able to support the operator's complicated network, which right now uses TD-SCDMA, W-CDMA, TDD-LTE, and FDD-LTE.


We think there's really no reason to bring it to more markets - the Exynos 4 chip does a pretty darn good job. Not to mention the fact that the Galaxy Note 3 should be announced pretty soon, which is also rumored to have a Snapdragon 800 chip. It'd be almost pointless to bring a Snapdragon 600 powered Galaxy Note 2 to other markets with that in mind. 


What do you think?



It appears as though Samsung would like you to employ that so it formally makes itself. Following the region lock which has troubled customers simply because Samsung really wants to place a lid on gray imports, a study from the Korean media indicates that the organization may be searching at enforcing using official Samsung add-ons next. This can apparently be achieved by using an ID nick, which is baked into add-ons (battery chargers, battery packs, as well as covers) and accustomed to authorize that they're official before they work.


Now, if the indeed happens, it brings along both pros and cons. Just in case of advantages, this could be sure that the frequency of accidents for example batteries catching fire and harmful the unitOrhome - which will be the consequence of third-party batteries getting used - could be reduced. However, the switch side of the that you simply won't have the ability to use add-ons not approved by Samsung, departing only Samsung's official add-ons because the option, which may be bad considering how pricey individuals situations are.


Obviously, Samsung will still allow third-party accessory makers to obtain certification to be used using the company's products, however it could hurt consumer choice, especially when it comes to cost. Right now it's a rumor, however with Samsung's recent antics, we wouldn't be amazed if the happens it will require in the goal to create things harder for customers.

 




Officially announced yesterday, the Galaxy S5 is now a 5.1-inch unit,  comes with a 16 MP rear camera with LED flash and 4K UHD video recording, a 2.1 MP front camera, a 2.5 GHz quad-core processor (almost certainly the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974AC), 2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of internal storage, microSD card support, 150 Mbps 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, NFC, IR remote, fingerprint sensor, heart rate monitor, and a 2,800 mAh battery.
