We’re barely two weeks into 2014 and Samsung has already announced four tablets. But many people, myself included, were expecting a fifth tablet, the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite, to also be announced at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, it wasn’t, but thanks to Samsung Poland, the manual for said tablet has been released. What does it reveal? Actually not that much. And this is where the Polish retailer X-Com comes in....

Samsung today announced a formal recall of all the Galaxy Note 7 units it has sold in the United States. The company made this announcement in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission which recommended customers to “immediately stop using and power down” the device. Samsung had earlier issued a voluntary recall of the Note 7, but over time it urged all customers to power off and return their Note 7 immediately after many serious incidents were reported due to the handset exploding....

Samsung has stepped up its game in the mid-range segment with its 2016 line-up of the Galaxy A series. The handsets feature a premium design and build quality that is akin to the company’s flagship Galaxy S6 and S7 series of handsets. However, it looks like the Korean company is working on a completely new mid-range lineup, with the Galaxy C5 being the first to make its debut in that line-up....

[slideshow] Update: The app is live on most stores now including the U.S. store for $2.99 here.

One day early, it looks like the game is already available in App Stores around the world with the New Zealand store, the Australian store, and others already listing the game....

Samsung Galaxy A30s and A50s: Design and Display In terms of design, The A30s and A50s come with a geometric pattern and holographic effect on their back, that reflects light at different angles to give random color effects. Both smartphones come in three color options: Prism Crush Black, Prism Crush White, and Prism Crush Violet. The Samsung Galaxy A30s features a 6.4-inch HD+ (1560 x 720 pixels) Infinity-V Super AMOLED display on the front, compared to the 6....

The idea is the same though – take the guts of a Samsung £100 (or so) camera, with optical zoom, OIS and proper Xenon flash, and somehow integrate it into a modern Android smartphone – and the K Zoom succeeds where the S4 Zoom failed, by being smoother, thinner, faster, better built and more highly specified on the phone front. That’s not to say that there aren’t issues here, but the K Zoom is a more credible drop-in replacement for a traditional Android smartphone....

Feral Interactive has announced that the historical strategy game ROME: Total War – already available for iPad – will be coming to the iPhone on August 23 … The company promises that it will be a full version of the game, though with features tailored to the phone – including a new user-interface with enhanced touch controls.

According to Google+, Shahriar Hossain is a Samsung employee. And according to the Dutch website TechTastic, he posted a photo to Google+ using a device known as the SM-C101, which is better known as the Galaxy S4 Zoom. The photo has already been taken down, but don’t worry, you’re not missing much. It’s of a white building on a clear day. For those who don’t know what the GS4 Zoom is, here’s the best way to think about it: Take the GS4, give it a smaller screen, downgrade the processor, and with the money saved bump up the camera to 16 megapixels and also throw in a 10x optical zoom lens....

In Summary Launched alongside the Galaxy A52, the Galaxy A72 shares its carbonate-backed design and is even powered by the same processor. While it does come with a better camera set up, a slightly bigger display and a bigger battery, the A72 does look more like a beefed up A52 rather than a device in its own right. It faces some major competition from the new budget flagships such as the Mi 11X and the Vivo X60, which boast much better processors....

A new report from ETNews claims that Apple will adopt OLED displays in some iPad models, which has actually already been rumored by reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. While this may seem unlikely considering Apple’s current efforts to push mini-LED in the iPad Pro, the rumors may not be wrong. Earlier this year, Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple was working with both Mini-LED and OLED displays for its future iPads. Part of his prediction has become true with the M1 iPad Pro, which comes with a Mini-LED display in its 12....

Yesterday, Samsung made headlines for what could have become a public relations disaster. The South Korean smartphone giant was caught restricting CPU resources available to everyday apps to prolong battery life. Now, it has owned up to the issue and promised to release an update that lets users manually disable optimizations. To get you up to speed, around 10,000 apps could not use the flagship hardware in Samsung phones to the fullest because of a software utility called Game Optimizing Service (GOS)....

File this one under the highly improbable drawer because there’s little chance Samsung will let Apple get their hands on its active-matrix organic LED technology, better known as AMOLED, which is an important differentiating hardware feature of their Galaxy S smartphone series…especially now that Apple has sued them. However, The Korea Herald heard from sources that Apple is actively courting Samsung to build AMOLED displays for a third-generation iPad. It’s allegedly a high enough priority for Apple’s operations chief Timothy Cook, who has been running the company in Jobs’ absence, to discuss the possibility with Samsung’s top brass during a recent trip to South Korea:...
