Samsung Game Launcher is the place to go for mobile games on your Galaxy device. It's an app dedicated to gaming, boasting tools for gamers, its own notification center, an activity tracker, and even a mini-game that lets gamers track achievements, hatch eggs, and unlock creatures for profile pictures. Today — on day two of […]
Macro photography isn’t talked about often enough from the smartphone perspective, even though that is slowly changing in recent years as more and more manufacturers, including Samsung, start putting dedicated macro lenses on their phones. Samsung’s got a huge list of mid-range and budget phones that feature dedicated macro cameras. Macro photos are also possible […]
If you have a Galaxy S24 or any Galaxy device with One UI 6.1 and Galaxy AI, you may be aware of the excellent feature called Instant Slow-mo that's built into the Gallery app. While most features included in the Galaxy AI experience are geared towards productivity, Samsung has also built in some fun tricks. […]
With the release of One UI 6.0, Samsung has arguably moved away from one of its core design philosophies for its proprietary Android skin: one-hand usability. This design principle aimed to put the interactive screen area closer to the bottom edge, which is why feature names can take up half the screen when users swipe […]
Among the many changes and features introduced by the One UI 6.0 update is a new system-wide typeface called One UI Sans. It replaces the old font, but to be frank, there's not a huge difference between them. However, if you are bothered by this change in One UI 6.0, here's everything you need to […]
We've reached the end of the Game Launcher Week series, and it's time for us to take a closer look at one of Samsung's systems designed to give gamers more control over their mobile games and how their Galaxy devices behave when they run these types of apps. We're referring to Game Booster. First, here's […]
We're halfway through the Samsung Game Launcher Week series, and today, we'll be taking a look at how you can expand the functionality of the game-launching app through bookmarks. First, here's a quick recap of this week, just in case you missed out on the Launcher's egg-hatching mini-game. Your mobile gaming HQ. Play the egg-hatching […]
Samsung has never joined the gaming phone market niche, but that doesn't mean the company doesn't care about mobile gaming. On the contrary, Samsung is helping developers create mobile games with ray-tracing-enabled graphics and games optimized for Galaxy phones and tablets. The company even launched the Gaming Hub cloud-enabled streaming service and developed its own […]
Smartwatches are far from enjoying the same level of adoption as smartphones, but they have continued to grow in popularity over the years. And for good reasons. Not only are they great fitness trackers with increasingly better sensors and battery life, but some models, like the Galaxy Watch 5, are also fashionable and highly customizable. […]
Samsung DeX is a fantastic mobile desktop environment with great potential, but it isn't the most powerful solution for a PC replacement you could find. Every little bit of performance gain counts, and as such, Samsung DeX is best used directly on-device on tablets or by connecting a Galaxy phone or tablet to a TV […]
Samsung introduced the Pause USB Power Delivery feature with the Galaxy S23 series, or at least that's when we discovered the feature exists. It's been available on some older flagships for some time, though we cannot say exactly when it was introduced. When enabled, it stops charging the battery and bypasses the power directly to […]
One UI 4.1.1 and One UI 5.0 are changing the multitasking and mobile productivity game in a big way. As some of you know, Samsung's latest One UI versions add a new and very useful taskbar – which we explored in a recent guide. But that's only one part of the equation. With One UI […]
Nobody could ever blame Samsung for not using Google's Android OS in clever and imaginative ways. Aside from distinguishing its mobile products from the competition through the fan-favorite One UI launcher, Samsung also offers a desktop-like environment for productivity (on most Galaxy devices) called DeX. It's virtually the only notable Android OEM that does this. […]
Samsung's side-mounted fingerprint scanners for Galaxy smartphones are arguably better, faster, and more accurate than in-display solutions, but they have one problem. Being embedded in the side button is both a convenience and a curse. These side-mounted sensors are fast, but they're prone to accidental touches whenever the user's registered fingerprint brushes against the side […]
One of Samsung's most unique software features that set it apart from other OEMs in the Android world is the Edge panel. The latter is a One UI component that lets users access app shortcuts, tools, widgets, split-screen functionalities, and more, with simple swipe gestures from almost every screen, save for some full-screen third-party games.
