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.

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.

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.

If you’re in the U.K. and are planning on picking up a shiny new Samsung Galaxy Note 3, now might be a good time to do so. For one week only, the popular independent retailer, Phones 4U, is offering a complimentary Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 with every purchase of the South Korean company’s flagship smartphone. However, to qualify for this offer, you will need to sign up to a new contract which start from £42.00 ($67) per month, plus a £49 up-front fee ($78) to cover the cost of the handset.

AT&T is in the process of rolling out a minor over-the-air (OTA) update for Samsung’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the monstrous Galaxy Note 3. Although it does not bring the eagerly awaited Android 4.4 KitKat to the handset, it’s still quite an important stability update that we would advise all users to download.
