Over the last few years we’ve seen Apple’s competition start to really take it to Cupertino in TV ads. Sometimes it seems petty but according to Samsung’s marketing chief, Arno Lenior, the tsunami of ads mocking Apple fans were a huge boon for the company.

In an interview with AdNews, Samsung’s Lenior says that the ads were brilliant because they got Apple fanboys and Samsung fans to bash with one another over which beloved “brand” is better:

The LG Vu II, with its rather odd 4:3 aspect ratio, is one of the most unique Android-powered phablets on the market. And it’s likely to retain that title when the Vu III launches later this year, according to leaked specifications that have surfaced in Asia.

In addition to a 4:3 display, this time with a higher resolution, the Vu III is expected to offer the latest Snapdragon 800 processor, and LTE-Advanced technology.

Samsung’s upcoming Android-powered flip phone, the Galaxy Folder, has been leaked a number of times in recent weeks, so we already know exactly what it’s going to look like. And now we have some early press shots that all but confirm its final design.

Also known as the Galaxy Hennessy, this device is set to be a midrange smartphone with a traditional numeric keypad, and it’s likely to remain in South Korea and other Asian countries where flip phones are still popular devices.

Samsung has today begun rolling out the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 in the United Kingdom. The update is reaching the Wi-Fi only device with the “GT-P3110” model number, and it’s available to download over-the-air or via the Samsung KIES desktop application.

In addition to Android 4.2.2 features like lock screen widgets and Daydream, the update also adds new TouchWiz features and widgets that were first introduced on Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S4.

If you developed a thirst for more Galaxy Note III information following this morning’s rumor, then you’re in luck. The handset’s complete list of specifications has been leaked by a “trusted insider,” and it suggests that Samsung’s third-generation phablet will blow its competitors right out of the water.

In addition to a larger 5.86-inch 1080p display, the device is expected to come with 3GB of RAM, an eight-core Exynos 5420 processor, and up to 64GB of internal storage.
