LG doesn't have a good track record when it comes to being in Samsung's shadow. The company claims that its phones are terrific, but if you've seen the latest G5, which takes Google's Project Ara and tries to consumerize it (though unsuccessfully), you understand that when LG copies a company or “borrows” an idea, it […]
The Galaxy Note 5 is now available, even in the coveted Gold Platinum color option, so it’s likely that fellow Note 3 users are contemplating an upgrade from their now two-year-old smartphone. We’ve heard a lot about what Note 4 users think about the Note 5, but we haven’t heard as much from Note 3 […]
BlackBerry’s back (you may or may not have heard), and the company’s first Android smartphone, called the “BlackBerry Priv,” features the tried-and-true physical keyboard that made the company famous once upon a time. Yes, before the era of virtual, on-screen keyboards (and even in these days), there are still customers who want a keyboard that […]
Google’s Nexus 6P is out and about now and, as usual, customers note the best of the smartphone and the worst of it. The Nexus 6P is the best camera Google’s ever produced for a Nexus smartphone, the display is Samsung-made, Samsung-grade, and stunning. For some tech-savvy customers, however, Google’s decision to forego Qi wireless […]
I hated the Galaxy Note 4. Hate isn't the word my colleagues here at SamMobile will use, but none of them were fans of the Note 4 either. The hardware was great, but the laggy software was what ruined the device when it launched, and Samsung's abysmal software support further sealed the deal in making the […]
The Galaxy Note 5 is the best productivity device Samsung’s ever made, but the new phablet hasn’t arrived to market without its share of criticism. Of the criticisms out there that I can think of (the so-called stylus flaw, glass construction, lack of removable battery, no microSD card slot, removal of the IR blaster, etc.) […]
The Galaxy Note 5 lets you jot down notes using the S Pen while the screen is off. That's one of the most useful features Samsung has added to its brilliant stylus in the Note lineup's history, but the company has also made a change on the Note 5 that has made the S Pen […]
Last week, Samsung took the wraps off its latest smartphone in the Galaxy Note series, and although the Note 5 flaunts an incredibly gorgeous design and some pretty stellar specifications under the hood, there are still five key features missing that several die-hard Samsung fans around the globe are up in arms about. We've already […]
This year, Samsung's been in a mood for experimentation, something that has given us brilliant devices like the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge that fixed a lot of Samsung's traditional weaknesses, but also went against a few things Samsung fans have gotten used to taking for granted. The Galaxy Note 5 follows the same tradition – […]
Samsung just announced the next device in its Note lineup, the Galaxy Note 5, a phablet with a lot of potential and impressive features. Unfortunately, the Galaxy Note 5 will only arrive in a select handful of countries starting with the US and some Asian markets in August, which could be a big mistake for Samsung, as […]
The Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event is just a few days away now, and as we prepare for Samsung’s big bash of the season, we can look back to what the phone market has given us this year: HTC One M9, LG G4, Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, Moto X Pure Edition (or Moto X Style), […]
The Galaxy Note 5 unveil is set for August 13th in New York City, but the smartphone that will be the top flagship for 2015 has already faced its ocean of criticism from our readers and commenters on the World Wide Web. We continue to get leaks of images and photos showing off the soon-to-be-announced […]
Earlier this week, we published a column talking about how the Galaxy Note 5 might not have a microSD slot. It turns out that what was clearly an opinion piece was considered news and covered by a lot of publications out there, and it seems many took our article to be somewhat definitive proof that the Note […]
It's been almost three months since the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge went up for sale around the world, but many consumers are still seething over Samsung's omission of expandable storage on the two devices. It has driven many to opt for competing smartphones, and some of those that have bought either of the S6 devices have […]
50x can get you up close to far-off subjects while standing in one spot, as evidenced by my real-life experience with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
