Samsung’s latest flagship, the Galaxy Note 4, is finally getting its Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update, weeks after it was delivered to the Galaxy S5. The release introduces new features, better performance, and an improved look.

Need a reason to pick LG over Samsung when buying your next smartphone? Here’s a great one.

While Samsung will charge you $200 for its Gear VR add-on for the Galaxy Note 4, LG is set to give all G3 buyers its new virtual reality headset free of charge. The device will be based on the blueprint for Google Cardboard, but it will be built to last using plastic.

We now know the official name of Samsung’s next curved smartphone, and we’ve even caught a sneak peek at it. Now trusted sources familiar with Samsung’s plans are confirming the device will indeed be curved on both sides — but not quite as curved as the Galaxy Note Edge.

Samsung’s pursuit of great design could lead to another iPhone clone if these images, purported to be the handset’s new aluminum frame, turn out to be genuine.

The South Korean company appears to have dropped the sharp, straight edges seen on the Galaxy Alpha and the Galaxy Note 4 for a smoother, more rounded design just like that of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and it looks like the removable back panel is gone, too.

In-flight entertainment is about to get a whole lot better if you fly Qantas.

Those who fly first-class on selected flights will be equipped with Samsung’s Gear VR headset and a Galaxy Note 4 so they can kick back in a virtual reality while they’re 30,000 feet up in the air.
