The emotional secret to Apple’s success: Can Samsung crack it?
Apple has been somewhat of a permanent fixture on Interbrand's Best Global Brands list. The overall brand perception for Apple is that it enables customers to connect, pay, play, and thrive. Even as Samsung's perceived brand value has increased significantly and it sits at the fifth spot on that list, it doesn't quite seem to […]

Samsung’s software and a MediaTek processor are a match made in hell
The Galaxy J7 Max, recently launched in India as the successor to the Galaxy J7 Prime, isn't the first Samsung phone to be powered by a MediaTek processor. That honor goes to the Galaxy J2 Prime, a much more affordable handset that was launched late last year. I didn't get to use the Galaxy J2 […]

Our initial thoughts on the newly announced Galaxy J (2017) smartphones
Samsung's 2017 editions of its mainstream Galaxy J smartphones are finally official. The Galaxy J lineup was Samsung's first serious attempt to offer budget users a good smartphone experience, and the company has done a commendable job of bringing in noticeable improvements over the short span these devices have been available (even though some of these […]

Samsung’s flagships need to start getting battery life similar to its mid-range devices
When the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ got announced, Samsung confirmed what the leaks had already told us, that the company's new phones would be shipping with rather small batteries for their respective screen sizes. Like me, many had probably wondered how the battery could be smaller now that it had to power bigger displays. […]

We’ve seen the cost of the next Galaxy already, enough to know that Italy will have it a little harder than the rest of us with buying the upcoming devices, but some believe these new prices are indicative of an upward trend for Samsung: that is, the upcoming prices are part of a phone trend […]

2017 will be the year of Samsung
What a year 2016 has been for Samsung. It was off to a great start with the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge which were undoubtedly the best Android smartphones released last year.

Déjà vu: the Galaxy S8 with an S Pen accessory is nothing new
The Galaxy S8 will have an S Pen accessory, or a stylus accessory of some kind as an external writing instrument. And it is interesting that this report about the S Pen leaked at the same exact time that critics were playing up fears that Samsung would do away with the Galaxy Note line and brand. […]

This Galaxy Note competitor in 2017 is one company’s high tech comeback
The Galaxy Note 7 arrival and quick recall has had some doubting Samsung's Galaxy Note brand and Samsung in general. Critics have said that the Galaxy Note brand was “so damaged beyond repair” that there's no way Samsung could ever resurrect and revive it. And yet, the results show that the Note faithful are as faithful as […]

Lessons learned: the Galaxy Note 7 recall, Note rebranding, and a 2017 Samsung comeback
The Galaxy Note 7 has been recalled – again. I feel like this sentence permeates nearly every journalism piece I've read on the Web about the matter. And yet, it's a fact. The event itself is tragic, for innocent victims of exploding Note 7s as well as Samsung, the world's largest smartphone manufacturer who, prior to the recalls, […]

The Galaxy S8 in 2017: a curved display of Samsung’s long-term panel investment
The Galaxy Note 7 has been announced, with curved edges intact, leading many to look ahead and wonder if the Galaxy S8 in 2017 will see the same treatment: the flat S8 tossed out, the Galaxy S8 edge hailed as the true S flagship. It's a question worth pondering, especially since tech is a field […]

Roses are red, smartphones are blue: Galaxy Note 7 Blue Coral color option gets a heavily-inspired admirer
Xiaomi announced its Mi Note 2 back at the end of October 2016, and the phone bears more than just a coincidental resemblance to the Galaxy Note 7. The Mi Note 2 features a 5.7-inch, curved OLED display (rather identical to the Galaxy Note 7's 5.7-inch, curved AMOLED panel), quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 (to the […]

Seeing the Big Picture: Samsung’s upcoming QLED TV completes home décor
TVs are purchased for their picture quality, size, audio, and so on, and it makes sense: after all, the TV is considered to be a factor of creating a relaxing home atmosphere. And yet, there has been a fragmented approach to buying televisions in the past: there's “the furniture,” the couch/sofa, table, carpet, curtains, etc., […]

I hope Samsung’s efforts to reverse 0% share in China go beyond a basic phone
Samsung's mobile business may be thriving in a lot of markets but there's one market where it has completely been wiped out by the competition: China. Nevermind the fact that it's one of the world's most lucrative markets for smartphones or that it's a country of more than a billion people. Few markets provide the […]

Samsung won’t get a cheap win from Apple like it did from Huawei
Multi-national companies are not immune to geopolitical risk. They have to tip-toe around recessions, conflicts, trade wars, sanctions and other risks in the markets they service to remain profitable and increase growth. It's not uncommon for such issues to become threats to a company's survival, particularly if it gets caught up in geopolitical tensions between […]

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Action Button is just a recycled Bixby key
Apple's iPhone 15 launch yesterday was interesting, to say the least. The biggest changes is that the company is finally giving up on its proprietary charging port and will now ship the new iPhones with a USB-C port. The company also made a hardware change by replacing the vintage ring/vibrate switch with a new Action […]
