- Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 available now in the UK for tiny hands and the people that have them
A Mini 2 to migrate you (okay, your Mum) from dumb to smart? That’s just what Samsung intends to do as it makes the 3.27-inch Galaxy phone available across the UK this week. The wee Gingerbread handset, sporting a colorful sunny yellow plastic backing, is dressed to impress, but that’s because this low-ender doesn’t fuss with the specs. Under that cheerful casing lies a single-core 800MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB of storage and a 1,300mAh battery that should prove adequate for this pocket-sized affair. The company’s certainly wary of how this slight fella might be perceived, so it’s gone above and beyond the call of PR duty (see below) to make sure the world knows this is a phone for first-timers. We gave it a go back at MWC earlier this year and, despite its compact look and budget bearings, were please to note it packs just enough of a surprising performance punch. Hit up the break to peruse the self-conscious presser for yourself.

- Samsung Galaxy S III coming to China on June 9th, all ‘big three’ carriers get in on the fun
When Sammy said it was taking the Galaxy S III around the world, it really, really meant it. Having already launched in the UK, and with the US soon to follow, Samsung’s newest flagship is now ready to debut across China. As expected, all three major carriers will be involved in the June 9th launch, which, of course, includes China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom. There’s no word on pricing yet, but for the sake of your sanity, we hope the telcos won’t ask for one too many yuans in exchange for that “human-centric” experience.

- Congress, NASA agree to thin out commercial spaceflight partners for ‘space taxi’ program
Congress has twisted NASA’s arm on a new deal for the “Commercial Crew Program,” designed to get private spaceflight companies to ferry astronauts into space.
SenatorRepresentative Frank Wolf wants NASA to scale back its grants to four companies: SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin and Sierra Nevada down to two, while a third gets a retainer in case one of those chosen pair fails. The administration will be examining the financial health and business viability of each company before doling out the cash — with one of those named above effectively being shut out of the market. Although, we imagine SpaceX did itself no harm at all when it became the first commercial enterprise to get a capsule to the ISS.Congress, NASA agree to thin out commercial spaceflight partners for ‘space taxi’ program originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:44:00 EDT.

Realme will launch a new X series, and we know from internal sources it will be Realme X9. Madhav Sheth, CEO in India and Europe, has posted a photo on his Twitter, revealing a slim profile of the phone - it will be as thick as six credit cards, stacked on top of each other.
