Everyone is talking about action movie director Michael Bay walking off the stage at yesterday’s Samsung event. I guess a poor reaction to a downed teleprompter makes for a good story, but it ignores the rest of the press event. (Don’t worry, we’ll embed the video of the man known for explosions imploding on stage below […]
The Galaxy moniker isn’t just for smartphones and tablets anymore. Samsung’s Galaxy Camera shows the world that the Android giant wants photography to be smart, too. The 16 megapixel point-and-shoot style camera sports a 21x zoom and a 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor. However, where the back of the camera would normally have a basic display and […]
Google threw a little surprise at the end of last week’s Google I/O event: The search giant has teamed with Samsung to produce a “Google Edition” of the insanely popular Samsung Galaxy S4 (stay tuned for our review). Due out June 26 in the United States, the handset will feature Android in all it’s naked […]
Samsung’s ATIV S device has yet to grace the shores of the U.S. For those who had their hearts set on the first Windows Phone 8 device to be announced, hope exists in the form of the ATIV Odyssey. A Verizon phone, the Odyssey is up against heavy competition from Nokia and HTC. Is there a reason […]

Mobile World Congress kicked off only hours ago, and Samsung has already garnered a heck of a lot of buzz for the Galaxy Note 8. While you may think an 8″ device sporting Android 4.1 with TouchWiz is a tablet, Samsung has thrown phone functionality into the Note 8. We live in a world where […]
Last night, Samsung held an event in New York to announce the launch of it’s phablet/hugephone, the Galaxy Note II, across all major U.S. carriers. I attended the event and took home a Note II to review, so expect comprehensive coverage of this major device here in the coming weeks. Some first impressions and notes: […]
Samsung just loves the Galaxy line. With each generation of Galaxy S flagships, Apple’s main rival has spun off countless side devices. When the Galaxy II was the flagship, there were a bevy of original Galaxy S-based devices. Now that the S III is king, I keep hoping that we’ll see S II generation technology […]
I’ll get to the Galaxy Note II in a minute, I promise. However, I have to focus on what is, for me, the biggest story about Samsung at IFA: Samsung announced a Windows Phone 8 device one week before Microsoft was expected to. Wow, the folks at Nokia have to be more than a little […]
It feels like it was only last week that the Techcitement writing staff was complaining amongst themselves about the slow adoption of Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Despite the fact that 4.1 (Jelly Bean) is already out, you can count the ICS devices out there on your hands. Boost Mobile and Virgin, one of the […]
