Samsung released its relatively impressive compact entry-level Android-powered smartphone, the Galaxy Fame, back in March, 2013, and since then its shown itself to be a big hit with people who don’t require the power that a flagship device has to offer but still seek the software and functionality that one brings. At launch, the handset retailed for £179, and now the popular independent online retailer, Very, is selling the handset with a £80 discount — meaning you can now pick one up for £99.

Samsung unveiled its latest mid-range dual-SIM smartphone, the Galaxy Grand 2, back in November last year, and this week the handset is on sale in India from several independent retailers for ₹22,999 (Indian Rupee) — approximately $374.

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been hearing quite a few rumors regarding an upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat update for Samsung’s former flagship smartphone of 2013, the Galaxy S4, now it looks as if the South Korean company has started internally testing the much-anticipated upgrade. However, according to an online publication the build is currently not stable enough to be used as a daily driver, so we will have to wait a little longer before the final version starts rolling out.

The team behind CyanogenMod has released a new CyanogenMod Installer tool for Mac that makes it easy to load the latest versions of its custom ROMs with just one click. Compatible with both smartphones and tablets, the installer does not require devices to be rooted or an unlocked bootloader.

Admit it, you laughed at Samsung and its oversize Galaxy Note when the handset first made its debut at IFA 2011 in Berlin. With its 5.3-inch display, the device was substantially larger than other smartphones at the time, and we all assumed no one would buy one.

But as it turns out, a lot of people like massive smartphones, and the Galaxy Note series has become a huge success. In fact, Samsung just announced that it has now sold more than 10 million Galaxy Note devices in South Korea alone.
