It’s been four whole days since Samsung last announced a new smartphone, which must be a record for the Korean electronics giant. But don’t worry — it hasn’t gone under. Today it has announced the new Galaxy Ace 3, its latest entry-level smartphone with a 4-inch display, LTE, and 8GB of internal storage.

EE, the U.K.’s first and only 4G LTE carrier, revealed its latest network expansion and 4G LTE plans last night. This is a huge benchmark for the company as it strives to stand out from other competitors when they eventually unveil their 4G LTE services later this year.

Vodafone has confirmed that it will roll out its new 4G LTE network in the United Kingdom this summer, ready for a launch “later this year.” The move follows the carrier’s £790 million ($1.2 billion) acquisition of a chunk of 4G spectrum back in February.

EE has expanded its rapidly-growing 4G LTE network yet again to cover an additional 12 markets across the United Kingdom. This expansion brings the total number of markets up to 74, and EE claims its 4G services now covers more than 50% of the U.K. population.

EE, the U.K.’s first and only 4G carrier, has confirmed to Cult of Android that it will carry the Galaxy S4 Mini from launch. The device will be available on EE’s super speedy 4G LTE network, as well as its 3G networks under the Orange and T-Mobile UK brands.
