It’s a great day to be a Galaxy Note 3 owner (in the United States), because Samsung has announced that it is giving new and existing owners $50 Google Play credit for absolutely nothing. All you need to do is hand over your name and contact details, and your handset’s IMEI number.

Still waiting for your Galaxy S III to get Android 4.3? Well, unfortunately, you could be waiting a little while longer yet. Samsung has been forced to suspend the update after having received complaints from disgruntled users who are running into all kinds of issues.

International Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) users are finally receiving their much-anticipated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update today, which delivers a whole host of new features as well as support for the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch.

Over the past couple days, you may have read reports that suggest the Samsung Galaxy Gear is a flop because it has only sold 50,000 units. But in actual fact, it’s the complete opposite. In just two months, it has become the world’s most popular smartwatch with 800,000 sales worldwide.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Gear back in September as a companion device for its flagship Android-powered smartphone of 2013, the Galaxy Note 3. It’s safe to say that many people were amazed by the concept of having a wearable piece of technology which could be used to receive calls, check notifications and take pictures, but when we got our hands on the device, we were somewhat disappointed.
