Samsung explains issues with Galaxy S III 'Pebble Blue'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Reports suggesting that Samsung has been experiencing manufacturing issues with the Pebble Blue version of the Galaxy S III have proven accurate.

Leaked S Voice app working again on non-Samsung phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Days after Samsung confirmed to us that it was restricting use of its S Voice app on handsets other than the Galaxy S III, the service appears to be working again. At least on our Sharp Aquos Phone that we've been testing S Voice on from the beginning, normal service has been resumed and the app is performing as well as it ever did. After Samsung initially blocked the service, some enterprising modders managed to alter the APK to get it back up and running again, but we haven't done anything other than install the file that originally leaked.

Galaxy S III S-Voice app now available for all Androids
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
The personal assistant for Android known as Samsung S-Voice has been released on the Galaxy S III smartphone and has been hacked and distributed to the public at the same time. This application works much in the same way as the Galaxy S II voice assistant did when it was released last year and is now being called an Apple Siri-rival due to the relative popularity of that system. Here you’ll be able to download the application and install it on any Android device capable of running it.

Samsung Galaxy S III tops UK pre-order records, shows that British love their quad-core
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
The British clearly didn't waste any time once pre-orders opened up for the Galaxy S III, which just broke through pre-order records for at least one carrier and one retailer in the country. Carphone Warehouse's chief commercial officer Graham Stapleton says that the quad-core, 4.8-inch flagship is the quickest-moving pre-order of the year "so far," while Vodafone UK adds that the new Galaxy is its most pre-ordered Android device to date. Without hard numbers, though, it's difficult not to couch the successes in relative terms: both are using conditional language that makes clear neither record is absolute and that they might be eclipsed by companies with a knack for building early demand.

Samsung Galaxy S III now on sale in Dubai
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
While most of us are still waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S III to finally arrive, it appears that the much-anticipated smartphone is already on sale in Dubai. The news comes first from Reddit, where one user spotted a "now available" poster for the phone in a local mall, and spoke to a sales clerk to determine that the white variant of the phone was on sale for $666. Meanwhile, a Verge reader has also sent in some pics of a Galaxy S III apparently purchased in Dubai for AED2,499 (around $680). The pics show the phone itself as well as the accessories that come packed in the box. The news should make the millions who pre-ordered the phone quite jealous, but the rest of us will still have to ...

The Samsung Galaxy S III Revealed: 4.8" HD SuperAMOLED, Exynos 4 Quad, Available 5/29 in Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Apple is a bit infamous for its tight control over new products, particularly iPhones. Development mules are often updated internals stuffed into nondescript previous generation designs. And talk of new products is forbidden, until the official reveal. Samsung, seems to have taken a different tack with their latest flagship device, the Galaxy S III. In the weeks leading up to today's announcement there were positively dozens of leaked images and specifications lists. And each one seemed so pointedly different than the last to leave the tech press exhausted with confusion and anticipation. All those leaks are put to the test, now, though; as Samsung has just revealed their most advanced phone...

Samsung unpacks the Galaxy tomorrow, we'll be liveblogging the London event right here!
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Is that Galaxy S II feeling a bit stale? It's just about time for Samsung to name a successor to the massively popular smartphone, live at the company's Mobile Unpacked event at the Earls Court Olympic venue. We'll surely see a brand new mainstream handset make its debut, but what's not quite as clear is what other gadgets Samsung plans to show off in London. With defined divisions, the Korean device maker's "Mobile Unpacked" event title implies that Android phones will steal the show, so it's unlikely that we'll see an updated Tab or two. We have 24 hours and change to find out for sure, however, so bookmark this page to stay abreast of the news as it happens in our liveblog. The show kicks...
