Can Samsung be the Samsung of drones?

Could Samsung be the Samsung of drones?Drones are pretty much what we’ve been talking about on the internet, besides of course, phones. Why the sudden interest though? We’ve been reading about drones right since the start of the millennium, but it’s only now that drones are trending as much as they are. The only possible reason I can fathom at the moment is commercial viability. Thanks to the perennial technological revolution, drones, especially...

It’s awesome that the Samsung Galaxy Note II will be updated to Lollipop

How often have you heard of an Android device that’s more than two years old get an official update to a major new version of Android? Outside of Google’s Nexus lineup, it’s not something that has ever come to pass – every flagship out there usually gets one or two major updates within 2 years after they go up for sale, after which the device manufacturer moves on to newer devices.

The Z1 isn’t Samsung’s most popular phone by some distance, but that’s because Samsung intends to have it that way.
