Not interested in paying a fortune for the latest smartphones? Then why not get a Galaxy S II on FreedomPop and save yourself over $1,000 a year?

Thanks to Cult of Android Deals, you can get a best-selling smartphone with unlimited talk and text and 500MB of 3G/4G data every month for six months for just $199. But you’ll have to be quick, because the offer ends in ten days.

The development team behind Replicant OS, an open-source operating system based on Android, have discovered a security flaw with Samsung devices that can provide remote access to your data. The “backdoor” is found in a whole bunch of Galaxy-branded handsets — including the Galaxy Nexus — running “most propriety Android systems.”

Samsung’s flagship smartphones have been a big success ever since the hugely popular Galaxy S II, so it’s no surprise to see the latest is doing well. Since making its debut back in April, the Galaxy S4 has surpassed 40 million sales worldwide, according to Samsung CEO JK Shin.

Samsung has today released a new My Galaxy app for users in the United Kingdom, which promises to help you “get the most out of your Samsung Galaxy.” The app helps you find accessories for your Samsung smartphone, get support for services and features, and access exclusive offers only available to Samsung Galaxy users.

No, there isn’t an error in that headline — Samsung really is producing Galaxy S II variants still. But the Galaxy S II TV, which has been unveiled in Brazil today, shares little resemblance with its siblings. It’s smaller, it’s slower, and its camera isn’t as good, but it does have dual-SIM support and a telescopic antenna that picks up local television channels.
