Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Samsung launched its new Galaxy handset yesterday, leading to the kind of queues usually only reserved for a new Apple product.
The previous Galaxy helped Samsung topple Apple as the world's biggest smartphone maker, with sales of 20 million handsets worldwide, and it hopes the S3 will be just as popular.
The launch of the latest Galaxy, which tracks the user's eye movements to stop the screen from hibernating when the phone is in use, saw queues form across the 28 European and Middle Eastern countries it went on sale at yesterday.
Retailers in Britain have already warned of stock shortages.
Samsung sold 44.5 million smartphones between January and March, equivalent to nearly 21,000 per hour, giving it a 30 per cent market share.
