The Galaxy Note II “Developer Edition” for Verizon Wireless has appeared on Samsung’s website this morning. Like the Korean company’s other Developer Edition handsets, such as the Galaxy S III, this one comes with a bootloader that will be simple to unlock — unlike the regular Galaxy Note II. Unfortunately, it still has that nasty Verizon logo on its home button.

The Samsung Galaxy S III’s Premium Suite upgrade has begun its rollout in the United Kingdom, just over two weeks after it first arrived in Poland. The update is reaching international handsets first with the GT-I9300 model number, and it introduces a whole host of new features — including things like Multi Window, Page Buddy, a Facebook ticker for your lock screen, and lots more.

Samsung has vowed to patch a major vulnerability discovered in its Exynos kernel that could allow certain Android devices to be wiped or bricked by a malicious application. The flaw was discovered earlier this week, and the Korean company promises to release a software update to address it “as quickly as possible.”

Samsung doesn’t just offer a large range of Android-powered smartphones and tablets, but it also offers them in all kinds of fancy colors. Rumor has it the Korean electronics giant is looking to give its Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 a lick of red paint just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Samsung’s Galaxy S III has been one of this year’s hottest Android handsets, but its high-end specifications mean it’s not ideal for everyone’s budget. With that in mind, Samsung has been working to meet demand for a similar handset that doesn’t quite cost so much. It has produced the Galaxy Grand, a mid-range handset with a 5-inch display that looks identical to its popular sibling.
