Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Review

, Mar 8th 2013 Discuss [6]

With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with Verizon’s 4G LTE data coverage, both companies put forth their best. With Verizon it’s the 4G LTE you know and love, and with Samsung it’s their largest “Note” device to date, effectively replacing the standard tablet with one that’s got its own S-Pen for futuristic note-taking and artwork galore. This isn’t the first time the Galaxy Note 10.1 has been available in the United States, but it certainly is the first time it’s been pushed with such vigor.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Note III specifications battle: very unofficial

, Mar 7th 2013 Discuss [33]

As Samsung gains a whirlwind of attention this week before its big Samsung Galaxy S4 event on the 14th, (one week from today), both the S4 and the Note III have been given some rather impressive unofficial specification sets. The details we're about to compare are not official and have not been confirmed by Samsung in any way.

This week the Samsung Galaxy S4 (or Samsung Galaxy S IV, if you prefer) is getting its fair share of pre-release specification leaks, some of them fake, others exceedingly realistic.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update step-by-step

, Mar 5th 2013 Discuss [19]

This week we’re seeing the last of the iterations of the so-called Galaxy “Nexus” as it exists on Verizon’s 4G LTE network. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus (made by Samsung, mind you) has since birth been plagued with talk of its mudblood-like software from the carrier as Verizon modified its contents past what Google originally intended – thus besmirching the purity of the Nexus smartphone line. Because of this Verizon-specific build, the Galaxy Nexus is last in line to receive the update to Android 4.2.2 – but here it is, ready for action!
