According to SamMobile, Samsung's Galaxy S 5 in Poland with the model number SM-G900F is now getting the Android 5.0 Lollipop update. This is the first Samsung device that will be getting and running on Google's latest Android version. About the update, SamMobile is saying that European countries other than Poland should also be set to receive the update after a day or two.

Samsung releases a slew of ads poking fun at Apple

Samsung has released 6 ads that, I think, will be aired in the USA since they look like they are made by Samsung Mobile USA that went on making fun at Apple. The ads were released and uploaded on Samsung Mobile's YouTube channel a few days after Apple's unveiling of their phablet challenger, the iPhone 6 Plus. I really don't need to say anything else with these ads. Just watch them and have fun. My favorite is that ad right there in the photo. (video after the break)

Samsung Galaxy Note Edge - Specifications & Features

This, I am pretty sure, was unheard of. Never got into the rumor mill! Nobody saw this device to be unveiled by dear old Sammy. I like surprises, but this is way more than a surprise. The world's first mobile device with a curved display? If not, then Samsung's first mobile device (that is not a smartwatch) with a curved Super AMOLED display. [Edit] The Galaxy Round, I believe, took the honor.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Specifications & Features

The next generation Galaxy Note device has been announced in Berlin at Samsung's UNPACKED 2014 Episode 2 event. For those who watched the unveiling and presentation of the device, you might consider this device as a minor update from the Note 3. But I would say that the real upgrades from the Note 3 to the Note 4 are in the inside. Like the Note 4's S Pen which is touted by Samsung to be twice more sensitive than that of the Note 3's "making writing with the S Pen feel like the real thing." Improvements to the Multi-Window have also been taken into consideration in the never ending quest of Samsung's refining process of their flagship devices. The Galaxy Note 4 is also Samsung's first Note device to sport 1440p display or Quad HD or 2560x1440 native display resolution. Also the device has been packed with the things that the consumers have loved about the Galaxy S 5, like the fingerprint scanner and of course the heart-rate sensor (which also doubles as a camera shutter button on the Note 4).
