Australian Samsung Galaxy S3 to be unveiled on May 31 in a Sydney special event
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 24, 2012 1 Comments">1
Do you remember that Samsung announcement from a couple of weeks back, saying that there are no plans to unveil any information about the Galaxy S3 launch in Australia? And do you remember how we wondered if Aussie users would have to wait for months to get Sammy’s new flagship, if they’d get it at all? Well, forget all about that. Apparently, Samsung has been handing out media invitations for “an exclusive launch of Samsung’s latest offering”. The event will take place in Sydney (where else?) on Thursday, 31 May, and will be attended by Tyler McGee, Samsung Australia’s vice …

by Adrian Diaconescu on May 23, 2012 3 Comments">3
Less than 24 hours after seeing Verizon’s Galaxy S3, codenamed SCH-I535, getting Bluetooth SIG’s approval, we now have the best of news for fans of the other three major US carriers. The Galaxy S3 has gotten certified in three more versions and will most definitely hit Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile in addition to Big Red. The news is very refreshing – we are now almost sure that the Galaxy S3 will come to all of the major networks in America, at about the same time. That’s a huge step forward for Samsung, who enraged many tech enthusiasts last year, with the …
Korean Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2 HD Android 4.0 updates now available on Kies
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 23, 2012 0 Comments">0
Although they are currently two of the most popular and powerful Android-based smartphones, Samsung’s Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2 HD are yet to get a taste of Ice Cream Sandwich in many countries all over the world. Sammy has been making huge efforts to bring Android 4.0 updates in a timely fashion in the most important markets worldwide for the two devices, but until now they’ve completely neglected their homeland, South Korea. However, Korean tech enthusiasts should now rejoice, as Samsung has announced the releases of ICS updates for the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S2 HD. The original S2 …
Samsung defends Galaxy S3 design, says nothing to do with lawsuit
by Bams Sadewo on May 23, 2012 2 Comments">2
With the runaway success of the Galaxy S lineup and as Samsung’s biggest and brightest star, it’s only to be expected that the latest iteration of the Galaxy S series will be scrutinized and placed under a magnifying glass. The design of the Galaxy S3, for instance, has been equally praised and loathed, but critics went so far as to say that it was designed by Samsung’s lawyers to avoid future litigation from Apple. Samsung’s officials, naturally, deny the claim. Talking to journalists during the 2012 Seoul Digital Forum, Samsung design vice president Chang Dong-hoon said that the company has …
XDA brings back the S Voice, working again on non-Galaxy S3 devices
by Kelvin Servigon on May 23, 2012 18 Comments">18
Droid-Life On Monday, we reported that a leaked Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM became available for download for all, packed with all the goodness of the smartphone’s great features. Not surprisingly, the full Galaxy S3 ROM came from XDA, everybody’s go-to site for all things amazing. As soon as the S3 ROM became available online, one of its key features, the S Voice app, became available for download as well, for all Android users who want to try out the proprietary Samsung voice command app. But most of the users who tried out the app said that it failed to work. …
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 changed to include slot for S-Pen
by Gary Sims on May 23, 2012 1 Comments">1
When the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was previewed at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, it raised a few eyebrows in that it is not only a 10.1 inch tablet with a stylus (the S-Pen) but that Samsung forgot to put a slot in the chassis to hold the pen when it isn’t being used! Meanwhile, we found out that the tablet we’ve seen at MWC was actually a temporary design that Samsung whipped up in a hurry in order to be able to show something newsworthy at the show. Now according to visitors at a Samsung event in Germany, the redesigned Note 10.1 includes a …
Samsung Galaxy S3 vs LG Optimus 4X HD
by Mike Andrici on May 22, 2012 2 Comments">2
Judging on their Q1 2012 earnings report, LG’s business is not all that bad, as their profit in the “Mobile Communications” sector has doubled over the same quarter last year. Apparently, one of the main reasons for their increase in profit margins is the commercial success of the LG Optimus line of smartphones. But if LG plans to keep sales of the Optimus line of Android smartphones alive over the following quarters, they need not look that far to catch a glimpse of the device they will have to beat in order to remain financially successful. In fact, their perspective …

![Samsung Galaxy S3 already on sale in Dubai! [Updated with pics]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/galaxy-s3-sale-dubai-2.jpg)
[Updated] The Verge got hold of actual images of the Galaxy S3 sold early in Dubai. Consider the news confirmed. The build-up to the official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S3 was a long drawn-out affair, with a whirlwind of emotions whipping the Android fanboy masses into a frenzy. May 3 was the big day, with the much-hyped “next Galaxy” officially presented at an event in London. This was followed by the whole world letting out a sigh of relief, as design, specifications, and accessory information were suddenly available to the public. We are now in the post-announcement stage, where …
Samsung Galaxy S3 for Verizon almost confirmed. Bluetooth SIG approves the SCH-I535
by Ankit Banerjee on May 22, 2012 18 Comments">18
A big disadvantage for consumers in the US is the fact that their choice of mobile device is restricted according to what network carrier they choose, and vice versa. For example, a big reason why T-Mobile has struggled over the past few years is the lack of the iPhone in its smartphone lineup. Similarly, the HTC One X is available exclusively for AT&T subscribers, with a One X variation featuring a complete re-design, the HTC EVO 4G, available on Sprint. Granted, it is possible to buy unlocked versions of the device, but this deprives customers of some of the benefits …

![Galaxy Note ad: David Beckham uses the gift of balls to play Beethoven’s Ode to Joy [Video]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/beckham-samsung-galaxy-note.jpg)
So, the Summer Olympic games are about to kick off soon in London. Who’s better to kick things to a start than the country’s top footballer, David Beckham? As Samsung’s ambassador to this year’s Olympic Games, you can see Becks sporting his Galaxy Note to help bring his interpretation of Beethoven’s classical piece Ode to Joy to life. We couldn’t hear it ourselves, but we do love the 15-foot wall of drums setting and Becks’ awesome footwork. And if there’s anyone who can make using Samsung Galaxy Note cooler, he’s definitely one of them. Not as cool as Peter the …
Galaxy Note Olympic Edition shows up, to be sold in the UK by O2
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 21, 2012 1 Comments">1
As you probably already know, Samsung is the official sponsor of the London 2012 Summer Olympics, which means one thing and one thing only for us tech enthusiasts. Several of the company’s gadgets will be redesigned, rebranded, and receive special editions, to celebrate the Games and get us all in an Olympic fever pitch. The Galaxy S3 has already been announced as the event’s official device a few weeks back, but we were certainly expecting more Olympic marketing push from Samsung. Ask and you shall receive, because we’ve just heard news of a special Galaxy Note Olympic Edition set to be …
Samsung and Apple mediation to start today. Will the two giants agree on cross-licensing?
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 21, 2012 3 Comments">3
While Google and Oracle are still fiercely battling it out in court in a patent infringement war whose outcome is almost impossible to predict, the Apple vs Samsung clash is about to enter a new phase. The mediation stage will start today, as it was scheduled for around three weeks, and is set to end tomorrow, hopefully with some sort of truce. For those of you who’ve been living under a very isolated rock for a while, we should tell you that the two biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world have been on a suing spree for the last couple …
First Galaxy S3 custom ROM already up for download, courtesy of Omega team
by Adrian Diaconescu on May 21, 2012 3 Comments">3
Samsung’s Galaxy S3 still has a long way to go before its official release, especially in the US or Canada (where it still doesn’t have a precise launch date), but you can already play around with the new phone’s software. A couple of days back, XDA dev Chainfire managed to root the S3 without even holding it for a second in his hands, while just hours later the official ROM had been leaked, courtesy of another industrious developer, Faryaab. It was only a matter of time before we began to see custom ROMs pop up on the web, so it should come as …

![Samsung moves to block unofficial use of S Voice, wants to keep it fresh for the Galaxy S3 [Updated]](http://1.androidauthority.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/samsung-s-voice-front1.jpg)
Updated with workaround for Samsung’s restriction. See below. Thanks, Frank! While not everyone is enamored with the design of the Samsung Galaxy S3, apparently people don’t mind getting an early taste of the phone’s smart software. It started with Flipboard, a supposedly exclusive social magazine app for the Galaxy S3, which was extracted from the device merely days after its introduction. Then came the wide availability of the Galaxy S3’s ROM, which gave way for even more goodies to come. One of said goodies is Samsung’s answer to Siri, the Samsung S Voice. The APK for Samsung S Voice was highly …
