Galaxy-Alpha-aluminum

Although Samsung’s commercials often mock Apple and its devices, the South Korean company has been known to use Apple products as its inspiration. In fact, it has been so inspired by iOS devices in the past that it was recently found guilty of ripping them off and forced to cough up $119 million in damages.

HP is probably the last company you’d expect to make a genuinely good-looking smartwatch, but it appears to have done that with a little help from Gilt and fashion designed Michael Bastian.

Some smartphones will try to kill you if you smother them with your pillow while you sleep, but others will save your life in a gunfight. That’s what happened when one Chinese man’s massive Samsung Galaxy Mega phablet stopped a bullet that was fired at his chest.
