Last week, we reported that a number of Galaxy Tab S users had been experiencing some serious overheating issues which caused the faux leather panel on the back of the tablet to warp and buckle. Samsung has today published an official statement with regards to this issue.

The South Korean company claims that the distortion of the backplate is not actually a byproduct of the processor getting too hot. It is, in fact, a problem with faulty back covers on the production line, which has now been rectified. Any customers with a defective tablet are asked to visit their nearest Samsung Electronics store where they will receive a replacement.

Today Samsung announced that owners of the original Galaxy Gear residing in the United States now have the option to upgrade their device’s operating system from Android to Tizen via the Kies desktop update assistant. This announcement comes just two months after European residents received the resources to upgrade their units.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 will finally drop the tacky plastic in favor of a new premium form factor made out of metal, a new report claims. It is also expected to become the first Samsung device to ship with a flexible display that should be much more durable than its predecessors.

Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab S appears to have a pretty serious overheating issue. It doesn’t just get warm and uncomfortable to hold; it gets so hot that its cheap back panel actually starts to warp. A number of owners are reporting the problem online, but according to Samsung, it’s only “negligible” and shouldn’t prevent them from using the device.

A leaked list of applications that will be pre-installed on Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 4 appears to confirm the handset’s Quad HD display and support for a virtual reality device. Other APK files point to the inevitable return of Samsung’s Finger Scanner — but there is no mention of that rumored ultraviolet sensor.
