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.

Itching to get the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update on your Samsung Galaxy S III? Well today could be your lucky day. A pre-release version of the software has been leaked online, allowing Galaxy S III owners to get the latest Jelly Bean features in advance of Samsung’s official release.

The software comes with a long list of new features — some of which are currently only available on the Galaxy S4 (officially) — plus some user interface tweaks and other improvements.

Samsung loves bashing its competitors, and it often does so in advertisements for new Galaxy products. So it’s no surprise that the Korean company has programmed its S Voice assistant to bash the iPhone. Ask it if it’s ever used Apple’s popular smartphone and S Voice delivers a scolding response.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with an impressive set of features baked into its new TouchWiz user interface, and one of those is a much-improved S Voice application. But you don’t need to wait until you’ve got the Galaxy S4 in your hand to check it out, because the app has been extracted from the handset’s firmware and is now available to download and install on your Android smartphone.

While today’s smartphones may boast just as many pixels as your television and a faster processor than your PC, they’re not great at going outdoors. Drop any of them onto hard concrete without a case and you can almost guarantee you’re in for a pricey repair bill. That’s not the case with the new Samsung Xcover 2, however.

Announcing just this morning, the Xcover 2 is “the ideal smartphone for active explorers who are enjoying outdoor lifestyles and seeking a durable mobile device with essential smartphone capabilities.”
