Now that the smoke has cleared, we can get a better look at the Samsung Galaxy S III and all it has to offer. First off, it’s a large device with a 4.85-inch display that almost puts it into the phablet category. It may be big but it’s still pretty thin and lightweight, measuring 8.8mm thick and weighing 133 grams. You’ll have two colors to choose from when deciding on the Samsung Galaxy S III: Pebble Blue and Marble White. The device’s design is described as that of a “smoothed pebble” and features rounded edges, a small bezel and glossy finish. It’s chock full of features — some old, some new — and will be available in Europe by the end of the month.

Get ready folks! Refresh for updates!

We’re only a couple hours away from getting the real scoop on the “Next Galaxy” from Samsung. We’ve endured countless rumors, leaks, and shameless fakes, but now it’s time to set the record straight and see just what Samsung has to unpack at this year’s London event. We’re all expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy S III and when it’s finally unveiled I’m betting it will be the must-have device of 2012.

If you’re a fan of first-person shooters and gaming on your mobile devices, then you should be looking forward to N.O.V.A. 3 from Gameloft. The company’s first N.O.V.A. titles have been two of the best smartphone shooters available — particularly on iOS — and the latest promises to be even better.

In its latest trailer, Gameloft teases N.O.V.A. 3’s incredible multiplayer mode, and damn… it looks good.

Google announced it will be extending carrier billing services to include all types of content on Google Play. Carrier billing is a “convenient” way to charge digital content directly to your carrier phone bill versus having to use a credit card or separate payment method. While it can be seen as more convenient, it’s also a dangerous road to go down. Our phone bills are already mini-car payments and adding digital content purchases to it can result in astronomical monthly bills.
