    There’s a lot of stuff that happens in the mobile industry, something that is especially true when it comes to giants like Samsung. If you missed out on some (or all) of what happened over the weekend, well, here’s a recap of all the big things that went down.

    Details leaked on the Galaxy Note 4, confirming it will have a 5.7-inch QHD display. Samsung started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Tab S, its new AMOLED tablet, in the US, while Samsung's Android Wear-based smartwatch possibly made an appearance at the FCC. The KitKat update made its way over to the Galaxy S4 mini Black Edition, and we wrote our opinion on how Samsung needs to tread carefully to balance usability and ergonomics while adding metal to its smartphones.

    Here’s the full rundown:

    As usual, a lot of devices got firmware updates as well, so here’s a list of all the updates that rolled to Samsung devices over the weekend (as always, you can find these firmware and more in our firmware section):
