Verizon Wireless is in the process of pushing out a very much-anticipated over-the-air (OTA) update to all of its carrier-branded Galaxy S4 handsets in the United State. This upgrade brings the latest version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean together with Samsung’s “premium suite” software – which made its debut appearance on the Galaxy Note 3.
Samsung has been fined $340,000 by Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission for an Internet campaign against HTC that violated fair trade rules. The South Korean company paid students to praise its own smartphones in online reviews while slamming those of rival HTC.
Developers love getting their hands on a kernel source code, primarily because it allows them to develop some great new custom ROMs with awesome features you don’t usually get as standard, as of today, the official Android 4.3 kernel files for the Galaxy S4 can be downloaded directly from Samsung’s Open Source Release Center.
Samsung’s flagship smartphones have been a big success ever since the hugely popular Galaxy S II, so it’s no surprise to see the latest is doing well. Since making its debut back in April, the Galaxy S4 has surpassed 40 million sales worldwide, according to Samsung CEO JK Shin.
Samsung has today announced that the Galaxy S4 mini will go on sale in the U.S. next month. The device will be available on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular in black mist and white frost, but its price tag is yet to be confirmed.
