Developers love getting their hands on a kernel source code, primarily because it allows them to develop some great new custom ROMs with awesome features you don’t usually get as standard, as of today, the official Android 4.3 kernel files for the Galaxy S4 can be downloaded directly from Samsung’s Open Source Release Center.

Samsung’s flagship smartphones have been a big success ever since the hugely popular Galaxy S II, so it’s no surprise to see the latest is doing well. Since making its debut back in April, the Galaxy S4 has surpassed 40 million sales worldwide, according to Samsung CEO JK Shin.

Samsung has today announced that the Galaxy S4 mini will go on sale in the U.S. next month. The device will be available on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular in black mist and white frost, but its price tag is yet to be confirmed.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is currently only compatible with the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy S4, but of course, if Samsung wants to get it into as many hands as possible, it’s going to need to change that. So it’s no surprise to see it will soon be compatible with the rest of the Galaxy S4 variants, and the Galaxy Mega as well.

We already know that LG is working on its first smartphone with a curved-glass OLED display; the company itself has confirmed it, and we’ve seen a number of leaked press renders. And now the device has been pictured out in the wild with a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and buttons on its back.
