Verizon Galaxy Note 3 gets its first update, improves sound and connectivity

The Verizon Galaxy Note 3 is finally getting its first software update, to build VRUBMJ7. Unlike the updates for the international variant of the device, this one is more than just a stability update – it improves the poor sound quality that users have been complaining about, and fixes a few connectivity issues. That’s about it for the list of changes in this one.

Verizon Galaxy S III mini leaks in blue

The Galaxy S4 mini has been out for a few months, and all major US carriers will be launching the device in the coming weeks, but it looks like the Galaxy S III mini from last year still has some life left in it. AT&T recently launched the S III mini, and now it seems Verizon has decided to follow suit, as prolific leakster evleaks has tweeted an image of the Verizon S III mini in blue.

Samsung’s 12.2-inch tablet visits Bluetooth SIG with Verizon branding, benchmark reveals specs

Samsung’s often-rumored-but-not-that-anticipated 12.2-inch tablet seems to be inching closer and closer to launch – just a few days after the Wi-Fi model was certified by the Bluetooth SIG, an LTE model, SM-P905V has been given certification as well. The V at the end of the model number makes it more than likely that this is the Verizon model, hinting at Samsung wanting to make its first 12.2-inch tablet quite widely popular.

Verizon Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update could be rolling out today

Samsung announced on 28 October that the Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S III, Note II and the S4 would begin rolling out in the US in the coming weeks, and it looks like the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S4 could begin receiving it from today itself. The update’s details were listed on Samsung’s and Verizon’s website, showing the build number VRUEMJ7 and a release date of October 28th, though Verizon’s support website still points to a previous update as being the latest one.

Verizon Galaxy S4 mini confirmed to carry carrier logo on home button

Back when we first got an unofficial glimpse at Verizon’s Galaxy S4 mini, we were disappointed to find that the carrier had decided to put its logo on the home button, like it did with the Galaxy Note II last year (and thankfully didn’t with the Note 3). However, we were still hoping against hope that this wouldn’t come to pass, but unfortunately, it’s really happening – Verizon has tweeted confirmation of the S4 mini’s launch on their network after Samsung’s announcement yesterday, and its ugly logo is painfully visible on the front.
