Samsung had gotten themselves into a fair bit of trouble lately, with two major bugs inhabiting their flagship Galaxy S III smartphone. The first was the infamous Exynos 4 bug that plagued not only Galaxy S III’s, but also S II’s, Notes, Note II’s, and many other devices.

If you like the HTC DROID DNA but aren’t a Verizon customer, we have some good news. There is now an international model called the HTC Deluxe. That pretty much explains the many times heard DLX name, huh? We’re also glad that there are less capital letters in the name.

Sony, continuing their great track record with software updates (though late, so many of their phones are getting updates, it’s surprising), is rolling out Ice Cream Sandwich to the international Xperia Ion (LT28i).
