Can you believe there are still so many respectable, relatively popular Android high-enders released in the past couple of years stuck with Lollipop, despite the successor of that OS flavor’s successor already gearing up for its first important maintenance update?Well, it’s true, painful as it may be, though ...

Maybe to better appreciate the software support efforts of a few unjustly criticized Android device manufacturers, false alarms like the one issued in Netherlands earlier this week are needed.It turns out Samsung never planned to leave the summer 2014-released high-end Galaxy Tab S stranded on a desert Lollipop island, already sending over-the-air Marshmallow goodies to the LTE-enabled 10.5-inch variant in Germany.Would the rollout have ...
The post First-gen Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 begins receiving OTA Marshmallow after all (Update: 8.4 too) appeared first on Pocketnow.
Update: There might still be hope for an exit out of the Lollipop purgatory soon, at least in Greece. Samsung’s regional Facebook admin just assured a concerned fan of the company’s commitment to deliver over-the-air M sweets to “the whole Tab S series.” Now we’re even more confused. Original story below.Credit where credit is due, Samsung did a relatively solid job thus far updating ...
The post Samsung Netherlands says not to expect Marshmallow for first-gen Galaxy Tab S models (Updated) appeared first on Pocketnow.
With all the news about Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google’s flagship tablet (the Nexus 9), and Apple’s updated iPads, it might be easy for some to forget that those aren’t the only tablets available these days. Google’s recent “Be together. Not the same.” ad campaign illustrates what I’m talking about. If you’re in the States and want a Nexus 9 you can head over to the Play Store and pre-order one that will ship by November 3rd. If you’re not in the States, if the Nexus 9 is too big, or if you’re looking for something a little ...

Samsung’s latest tablets are out now, marrying high-res quad HD displays with the bold colors and deep blacks afforded by the use of OLED panels: the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and 10.5. And though these tablets may be currently available for purchase, they could use a little push to help get sales going; the delayed availability of the LTE models, and corresponding lack of carrier promotion, certainly can’t be helping. So Samsung is ...

The post Exhaustive Galaxy Tab S specs leak prior to tonight’s event appeared first on Pocketnow.
In the tablet space, Samsung is a quickly growing giant. Almost single-handed, Samsung has cut Apple’s tablet market share in half – from over 60 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in Q1 this year – while snapping up 23 percent of the global tablet share in Q1.We never had any doubt this would be the case, even with how half-baked the first two or three generations of its tablets were. Take the original Galaxy Tab, for example. It was a 7-inch knee-jerk reaction to the iPad. It ran Android, of course, ...

Samsung’s newest tablets really haven’t been kept under wraps too well. The tablet line, which is expected to be unveiled on June 12, consists of both 8.4 and 10.5-inch models (perhaps more), the latter of which has leaked multiple times. New alleged press images look to confirm what we’re already expecting to see unveiled.The front of the device shows the same TouchWiz launcher we’ve become used to, atop a build of Android 4.4, KitKat. The rear shows the same perforated look as the one on the Galaxy S5.To recap the specs quickly, we are expecting a 2560×1600 ...
