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, […]
I didn't want to do it, but I had to. Verizon and Samsung have sent me emails (and Verizon a text message) over the last few weeks, telling me to power down my Galaxy Note 7 and turn it in for a replacement device. Earlier on in the process, I refrained from taking my Galaxy Note […]
If you frequent any Samsung user discussions, there are three items of great importance to some long-time customers: 1) microSD card slot, 2) IR blaster, and 3) removable batteries. Sure, the microSD card slot and IR blaster seem to be the more important priorities for many who value them above all else (fortunately, I do […]
It's been over a decade since we first laid eyes on the Galaxy Store, formerly known as Samsung Apps and Galaxy Apps. The eleventh anniversary of the digital storefront's release was back in September, to be exact. And no one can blame you for not realizing, seeing how Samsung itself did nothing to commemorate it. […]
Many of our readers will be well aware by now that I'm a big fan of the Galaxy Fold. I've expressed my undying appreciation for the device on multiple occasions here. At its core, the reason why I like it is very simple. Foldable smartphones are indeed the future and they have a unique ability […]
Back when the Galaxy Fold was first unveiled, and a couple of weeks before it was supposed to go on sale, SamMobile HQ in the Netherlands received a review unit of Samsung's foldable phone. It was just one device, and our boss Danny was the one who had the privilege of using the Fold before […]
Welcome to part eight of our 10 years of Samsung Galaxy S flagship series, in which we here at SamMobile talk about our experiences and memories of each of the nine Galaxy S flagships that have come before the Galaxy S10. Today, we look back at the Galaxy S8, the device that started Samsung's journey into […]
Welcome to part seven of our 10 years of Samsung Galaxy S flagship series, in which we here at SamMobile talk about our experiences and memories of each of the nine Galaxy S flagships that have come before the Galaxy S10. Today, we look back at the Galaxy S7. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, […]
I don't usually buy flagship phones on my money. That's just a perk of working at SamMobile, where I get to use flagship phones and plenty of lower-end Galaxy phones as part of the job description. If I don't get a phone from SamMobile, Samsung is nice enough leave review units with us until the […]
From introducing a dual rear camera to Samsung's flagships to proving to consumers that Samsung can still make phones that don't combust, the Galaxy Note 8 has a lot riding on it. The Note 8 will be the most feature-packed smartphone on the market when it goes on sale, and if the Galaxy S8 is […]
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ at an event in New York City last night. As is the case with the company's keynotes, it was opened by the chief of its mobile business, Dong-jin Koh. Koh took over the reins of the mobile business from J.K. Shin back in December 2015. Having […]
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. Customers flocked to pick it up and Samsung's results showed that its mobile business was performing very well courtesy of the […]
That's right. Unless you want to be stuck with a portable charger all day long or become one of those fabled “wall huggers,” a refurbished Galaxy Note 7 with a 3,200 mAh battery makes no sense. We've heard rumors of Samsung wanting to sell refurbished Galaxy Note 7 units ever since disaster struck (the second […]
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. […]
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 […]
