Xiaomi’s new Mi 4c is here, and if you’re a fan of affordable smartphones, you can’t ignore it.

The Mi 4c is packing premium specifications like a 5-inch Full HD display, a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor, and a 13-megapixel camera — but it starts at just over $200 off-contract.

Just days after being told to stop ripping off Apple’s designs, Samsung is reportedly getting ready to “borrow” another of Cupertino’s ideas — this time with a program for leasing its Galaxy handsets to U.S. customers, much like Apple announced two weeks back with its iPhone Upgrade Program.

Not content with making displays, memory chips, storage, and whatever else for rival handsets, Samsung is reportedly looking to take on Corning’s with a shatterproof Gorilla Glass alternative — currently code-named “Turtle.”

Be careful how you unlock these Samsung devices; Apple might sue you.

Samsung might soon be legally forbidden from continuing to rip off Apple.

In a 2-1 decision today, a federal appeals court ruled that the monetary damages another court ordered the South Korean company to pay Apple last year wasn’t enough; it also had to stop using those design elements that infringe upon Cupertino’s patents.

If it doesn’t look like your phone, it’s not your phone… apparently.

That’s the tagline for a new Samsung ad that hopes to remind iPhone users they can’t customize iOS, and should therefore choose a Galaxy smartphone instead.
