# 2013-05-30 11:31:00, Gizmodo
The nicest thing you can say about any gadget is that it changed the way you use that type of gear for the better. The 928 did that for me with smartphone cameras. It will for you, too, probably. It's just a shame that the phone it calls home doesn't live up to the design standards we're used to—...Samsung’s New Galaxy S4 Mini Isn’t Really All That Small
# 2013-05-29 23:08:29, Gizmodo
If a 4.3-inch phone is considered “mini”, god help us all. Samsung’s just announced that the Galaxy S4 Mini is real, and it’s still bigger than an iPhone 5.

# 2013-05-26 10:00:57, TechCrunch
The problem for Home is Facebook has underestimated how important apps -- and, crucially, the customisation that apps afford -- are to the smartphone experience.
