Got yourself a Samsung Galaxy S2? Yeah? Good aren’t they. Sure, the S4 has been announced now but I’m with you brother. The S2 is a bloomin’ good handset still and, if you’re on Vodafone, you can now get yourself Android 4.1.2. We’ve had a tip from Matthew …
So, we asked Samsung if we could have a few minutes with the SIII Mini. Just a few precious minutes. They laughed at us. They made us cry. They pulled our hair. Meanwhile, another website called All About Samsung has got hold of it… but hey, they put …
We’re doing a special week with the Samsung Galaxy SIII and yesterday we noticed that the screen brightness was a bit dimmer on the SIII when compared to the SII. We’ve got to admit that this is actually due to the Battery Saving technology which is built into …
So, this week I’ve got myself a Samsung Galaxy SIII. It’s been loaned to us from UR-Mobile and we’ll be giving you a daily dose of this hot new handset. Simply check back at 9.30 AM every day for the latest video. I’ve had quite a bit of …
Yesterday I spotted that some of the Galaxy accessories are coming down in price. This is obviously due to the Galaxy S3 being due out very soon. Various outlets are having a clear-out. The most interesting piece I saw was a USB gender changer for the Galaxy S2 …
So, whilst I can’t review any Galaxy SIII accessories yet, I can at least review some Galaxy SII accessories instead. This is called the Samsung Galaxy S2 Sound Station Sound Horn, but I’m just going to call it the “Sound Horn” because it’s a lot better for my …
So, we covered everything at Mobile World Congress. Samsung, however, didn’t launch the Galaxy SIII and instead heavily promoted the Galaxy Note 10.1. We’ve had lots of leaks, details, pictures and gossip. Tonight we’ll get to know more about the new handset and we’ll be LIVE tonight. Doors …
It looks like the full set is almost complete, Orange have announced via their Orange Helpers Twitter and Facebook accounts that the Android 4.0 update will start rolling out via Kies tomorrow, Friday the 20th of April. This only leaves T-Mobile customers without any official way to leave …
It’s been a bit of a wait but now owners of unbranded Samsung Galaxy SII’s can get their hands on some Ice Cream Sandwich goodness. The update is available through Kies and we recommend updating to the newest version beforehand. The update also comes with some improvements to …
No, the “Driving Mode” on the Galaxy SII will NOT magically steer your car to work whilst you have a doze in the back seat. What it can do is read out notifications and calls that arrive while you drive. Oh, I’m a poet and didn’t know it. …
Got the Galaxy SII on Orange? Is it branded? Don’t fancy putting a ROM on it yourself? Well, if you tick all those boxes then you’ll have to wait a little bit longer for your Ice Cream Sandwich update. A Twitter update from Orange gives no firm date …
Want to know more about the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S2? A powerpoint slide, which has been converted to a PDF here, gives info on what to expect if you’ve not upgraded yours already. It’s not just the UI that’s changed, there’s stacks more, so …
So, we’ve had a few dates regarding the Galaxy SII Ice Cream Sandwich update. Last we heard, it was sometime soon and we’ve previously heard dates ranging from Q1 to March 1st. Now best-mobile-contracts have a confirmed date of March 19th, which is this coming Monday. They have …
Samsung have announced that the Galaxy S2 has now sold over 20 million units since its launch in May last year. That’s pretty good going for a phone that even today, nearly a year after launch, is still one of the best handsets available, on Android or any …
First of all thanks to the guys from Mugen for sending us this battery to review. It came all the way from Hong Kong I was amazed. My experience of spare batteries for phones has basically been buying a replacement when the original started to misbehave. Within a few …
We knew that the Galaxy SII Ice Cream Sandwich update was coming in Q1 but we didn’t know quite when. Now the inimitable Eldar Murtazin had provided us with a start date and it’ll arrive via Samsung Kies too. Update – A new tweet now says between March …
A shiny new Galaxy SIII arriving on March 22nd? It turns out that no, it’s not. Well, we were a little puzzled as to why Samsung would want to launch their new phone just a couple of weeks after Mobile World Congress. Whatever happens, Samsung must be loving …
There’s a fair amount of excitement surrounding the Galaxy SIII. The existing SII had already performed brilliantly sales-wise and its still my main phone. So, news so far. We thought it would appear at Mobile World Congress. Good times. Then we were told it wasn’t arriving at Mobile …
So, the Galaxy SIII isn’t going to get a big reveal in Barcelona. Booo, but hey, a ramped-up SII could appear instead. I know, I know, it’s like getting an iPhone 4S when you’re expecting an iPhone 5, but heck – a 1.5GHz CPU inside a Galaxy SII …
We’ve just had this comment from Samsung which confirms the successor to the rather wonderful Galaxy SII. We will, as usual, be reporting live from Mobile World Congress but it looks like we will have to wait a little longer for the SIII because its just not ready …
Android 4.0, aka ICS, aka Ice Cream Sandwich … here in the UK we’re not overly familiar with the term “Ice Cream Sandwich”, but I did used to eat something like this when I was a kid. Anyway, I digress. According to the Facebook page for Samsung Norway …
Got a Galaxy S2? Yeah? Did you buy an unlocked / unbranded one? If you have then you may have noticed that Android 2.3.4 is as high as you can go version-wise. Josh Fullalove (what a cool name) has asked Samsung UK about this and they say that …
Samsung have continued to pump out their Galaxy SII adverts in the USA and they seem to be following a very similar vein. Earlier we saw how Samsung poked fun at Apple customers queuing and camping outside stores for the “Next big thing” and now Samsung are saying …
The pink Galaxy SII we spotted at Phones 4U will shortly be available from eXpansys. If you’re looking for a gadgety Valentines gift, this could be your thing – it’s arriving on February 13th. Inside it’s the usual goodness – an 8 megapixel camera, dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, Android …
Ladies ! (And anyone else wanting a very different-looking handset) Phones 4U have just added the rather excellent Samsung Galaxy SII in PINK to their site. It’s the same great handset that we know and love, but with a lick of pink. Don’t forget to read our extensive …
The Samsung Galaxy SII is amazing. We know that, you know that. However, when Orange (and Barclaycard) launched their “contactless payment” service the Galaxy SII wasn’t listed as a supported handset. Actually, there weren’t a great deal of phones supporting the “touch to pay” system. To do this …
Wehay! Official Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy SII are arriving, and through the Samsung Kies software too….. apparently. Android 4.0.1 and Android 4.0.3 have leaked out, although it looks like there’ll be certain markets and variants getting the new OS update first. This roll-out has …
Handbags at the ready. This new Galaxy SII advert seems to be taking a direct swipe at the iPhone. It shows a queue of people patiently waiting for the new iPhone 4S and… well, it’s probably best to view it below 🙂 Samsung have actually just lost another …
I’m meeting a lot of people at the moment who are planning to upgrade to the rather excellent Galaxy SII. I always agree with them because, in all honesty, it’s an absolutely fantastic device. Just to confirm that, the Galaxy SII has won another award. This time it’s …
The all new Android 4.0. Bells. Whistles. Face unlock, a better UI, resizable widgets and more swipe interactions. The Galaxy S2 has now been blessed with the new OS, albeit via a bit of hacking and tweaking of code. Mr Headless Dude shows the S2 in the video …
It looks like Samsung have confirmed that they will be releasing Android 4.0 to the Galaxy Note and the S2 as well as the Galaxy Tab reports The Next Web. Good news if you were worried about getting left behind after the release of the Nexus in a …
Come on, we told you it was a good phone. The Galaxy SII has already swept the board at the Mobile Choice awards and it’s now won Phone Of The Year in the T3 Gadget Awards too. More than 950,000 readers voted and T3 Judges also gave their …
Hello. My name is Leigh. I started this whole thing back in 2002. Back then it was all about the Microsoft Smartphone but over the years there’s been a colossal change in the mobile landscape. Today Apple announced the iPhone 4S. Despite what people say, it’ll be yet …
If you’re looking for the Galaxy SII in white then you can get it on Vodafone or Three. However, we’ve also noticed O2 are about to sell the white version too. O2 already sell the darker model for free on plans costing £37 or more per month. Link …
I’ve had two Samsung Galaxy SII phones and have noticed the same issue with both. I can’t send MMS (picture messages). I thought I’d sorted it the other day but no, I continually get the “Failed” message flash up even after coming away from the UMA connection I …
It’s been just days since we spotted the all-white Galaxy SII was on its way to Vodafone. Today it’s appeared on the Vodafone site and you can get the pearly white version for nothing on £36 per month plans. The white version is also available on Three on …
Vodafone have put the white version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 up for Pre-Order on their UK website now but have not confirmed a release date or price as of yet. The black version of this handset is one of the most wanted phones all year with some very …
A few days back we spotted that Android 2.3.4 was arriving for the rather excellent Samsung Galaxy SII. Now, if you’re on Orange you won’t be getting that version just yet but, if you do update your Orange branded handset, you do get UMA. UMA is called “Signal …
Liking the Samsung Galaxy SII ? You’ll love this, the Samsung Galaxy R. It’s got a slightly smaller screen than the SII with 4.2″ rather than 4.3″, plus it’s a little thicker, but in other respects it’s pretty similar. We’re trying to dig out more information at the …
Tomorrow a Samsung Galaxy SII will take off in a space balloon and, during it’s 90 minutes of flight, will reach 100,000 feet. What’s amazing about that you say ? Well, the phone will be showing messages that you guys have submitted on space-balloon.net and elsewhere live on …
