For a high-end smartphone, the Galaxy S5 feels a little… cheap. I absolutely love mine; it’s one of the best Android phones I’ve ever owned thanks to its super speedy processor, stunning display, and excellent 16-megapixel camera. But I choose to carry the HTC One M8 instead. It’s just as capable in almost every way, and its sleek aluminum form factor is a joy to hold.

Like many of its predecessors and siblings, the Galaxy S5 has received criticism for its plastic design, and now the man who oversaw it is moving on. Chang Dong-hoon, head of Samsung’s mobile design center, will be replaced by vice president of mobile design Lee Min-Hyuk.

Wondering when your Samsung Galaxy-branded smartphone will receive the much-anticipated Android 4.4 KitKat update? Well, hopefully this post will help to shed some light on the answer to that question. Thanks to a series of recent leaks and rumors, we’ve compiled an ‘update guide’ containing the handsets that we believe are set to receive the beefy upgrade over the course of the next few weeks.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini could launch with the “Galaxy S5 Dx” moniker, according to a leak that comes direct from Samsung. A new Galaxy S5 variant with this name made a brief appearance on the South Korean company’s website this week, indicating its official unveiling may be right around the corner.

Samsung has officially documented the pricing and availability information for its recently announced Galaxy K Zoom. According to the South Korean company, the camera/phone is set to go on sale in Germany next week and will set you back €519 — that’s €20 more than it priced for the rest of Europe when it launches later this month, and we’re struggling to see why. It’s not as if the German variant has any extra features, either. It’s the exact same model.

Motion Launch is one of my favorite Sense 6 features on the HTC One M8. I can’t tell you how much I miss it when I’m using other phones. But like all good things designed for Android, there’s now a third-party alternative for other devices.

If you have a phone with an OLED display, then you can use Knockr to bring Motion Launch gestures to your device — and you’ll be glad you did.
