On Monday, Samsung announced three new smartphones as part of its Galaxy A series — the Galaxy A3 (2017), Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017). All three handsets are expected to go on sale in early February in a whole host of different countries all over the world, but for some strange reason, the latter […]
Now that Mobile World Congress 2016 has come and gone, the dust has settled – and, while Samsung's Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are the most perfect Android handsets we've ever seen, some say that LG out-innovated Samsung this year with its modular G5 smartphone. We extend congratulations to LG for thinking outside of […]
Samsung makes a slew of Android apps that come preloaded on Galaxy devices and can also be found on Google Play, and we want to know which of those is your favorite.
Samsung switched to software navigation keys with the Galaxy S8 and has launched every new device since then with software keys instead of the traditional hard home button and capacitive back and recents keys. Not everyone liked the change, but it's a change that's here to stay. However, Samsung did introduce a neat solution for […]
Brand value goes a long way in any industry and it's something that audiophiles (people who appreciate high-end audio products) are very particular about. Audio brands tend to enjoy strong loyalty from their customers. They continue to innovate and offer new products so that customers keep coming back for more. It's not uncommon for smartphone […]
Samsung moved into the mobile VR space back in 2014 when it launched the first Gear VR headset with the Galaxy Note 4. It has since launched new versions of the headset including one with a controller. Samsung has also been investing in virtual reality content so that those who pick up one of its […]
Samsung didn't stick around long for the Google Play Edition program that the maker of the Android OS envisioned a couple of years ago, and neither did other manufacturers. What was the Google Play Edition program? Well, it was what many had always dreamed of: Samsung's flagship hardware running a stock version of Android and […]
When Samsung first launched the Galaxy S6 edge with its dual-curve display, people were skeptical of the kind of utility those edges would provide, given the edges were much smaller than the single edge on the Galaxy Note Edge. Indeed, the Edge screen on the Galaxy S6 edge wasn't packed with functionality, but it's been […]
Apple wasn't the first manufacturer to employ a notch on an otherwise “all-screen” smartphone display. That was Essential, the company created by Android co-founder Andy Rubin, which launched the Essential Phone to much fanfare, both because one of Android's masterminds was behind it and because of the notch at the top of the display. Apple […]
When Samsung decided to acquire Harman International, the parent company of popular audio companies like Harman Kardon and AKG, back in late 2016, we were excited for the kind of changes the newly onboarded talent would bring to the Korean giant's smartphones. Samsung first brought us the AKG-tuned earphones with the Galaxy S8, before its acquisition […]
If you think Samsung expects the launch of a new flagship to attract attention away from software updates for existing devices, you're not alone. The company has been dragging its feet when it comes to the Galaxy S8 Oreo update. While the final version of Oreo was released in less than two weeks after the […]
Now that the official unveiling of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is over, it’s time to ponder over purchase related questions. Samsung has made choosing between the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ more difficult this time by equipping the plus variant with more RAM and a dual-camera setup at the back. So, the choice between […]
We exclusively reported in December last year that one of the color options for the Galaxy S9 will be a shade of purple. A Galaxy S9 render was leaked last night which revealed that this new color option is going to be called Lilac Purple. Samsung is going to launch the handset with four different color […]
As we said in our Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ review, the fingerprint sensor is easier to use on Samsung's latest mid-range phones compared to the company's 2017 flagships, but it's still not in the ideal location. That's especially true on the 6-inch Galaxy A8+; the sensor is housed in the same cutout as […]
It's been something of a tradition for Samsung, putting in more work as far as software optimization is concerned on their Note flagships, more so than its mainstream Galaxy S flagship phones. The Galaxy Note 4 may have been an exception, and we'll never know how the Note 7 would have held up in the […]
