As Samsung and Apple continue to sue each other all over the world, Apple has repeatedly asserted that the South Korea-based vendor builds “copycat” devices that make unlawful use of Apple’s patents and steal elements of Apple’s designs.

An image of a new Samsung smartphone was published on Wednesday evening...

We have seen a number of leaked images showing a variety of handsets said to be the Galaxy S3 trickle out over the past few weeks.

This phone also matches up exactly with what we have reported, something ...
