Let's face it: Six months ago, no one would have expected that Samsung would go from its long in the tooth 15W fast charging tech to a whopping 45W. The company introduced 25W ‘super fast charging' on the Galaxy S10 5G, and we had simply assumed it would stick to 25W for the remainder of […]
We have now started counting down the days until August 7 when Samsung will take to the stage in New York City to unveil the Galaxy Note 10. It has confirmed an Unpacked event for that day and the teaser more or less confirms we're in store for a new Galaxy Note. There have been […]
After the Galaxy Note 9 came out with a 4,000 mAh battery last year, it was expected that at least one of the Galaxy S10 models would have a similarly large battery. And Samsung didn't disappoint. At 4,100 mAh, the Galaxy S10+ has the largest battery yet of any Galaxy S flagship, including the other two […]
We have heaped many praises on Samsung for putting a big battery inside the Galaxy Note 9, and it wouldn't be an understatement to say we might even have overdone it. But after years of waiting for a Galaxy flagship that isn't just average at battery endurance, we really can't help it. And it's a […]
So the Galaxy Note 9 became less of a secret a few hours ago, thanks to a major leak that brought along high-resolution renders of the phone. These renders have been created based on CAD information obtained by a factory source, so they aren't expected to be 100 percent accurate. They do, however, make us […]
Here at SamMobile, we have been impressed by the battery life on the Galaxy Note 8. Both the single SIM and dual SIM models have endurance that's on par with the Galaxy S8+ despite a smaller battery capacity, even managing to last longer at times. Whether this is down to increased optimization on the software […]
At this point, it looks like the Galaxy Note 8 will indeed ship with a 3,300 mAh battery, smaller than the battery in the Galaxy S8+ and last year's ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. We could ignore the rumors and hold on to hope that the actual battery size will be bigger, but the rumors and […]
It was reported earlier today that Samsung could launch refurbished Galaxy Note 7 later this year in emerging markets like India and Vietnam. The company will reportedly sell these refurbished units with 3000 ~ 3200mAh battery as opposed to the original 3500mAh battery that the Galaxy Note 7 came with last year. The refurbished devices […]
After the immense success of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the Galaxy Note 7 was expected to offer Samsung an upper hand against Apple's iPhone 7 devices. However, things have turned in a dramatic manner for the company. Samsung had to recall most of the Galaxy Note 7 units sold worldwide due to faulty batteries […]
By now you will be well aware that Samsung has issued a voluntary recall of the Galaxy Note 7 due to a battery cell issue it has identified. Samsung is going to voluntarily replace all Galaxy Note 7 units it has shipped out since the release on August 19. Customers have the option to get […]
The Galaxy Note 6 has been in the rumor mill quite a lot in recent weeks, and a recent rumor suggested Samsung is testing two variants of its next phablet flagship. One with a flat display, and another with a curved display. Basically, it looks like it could be a return to 2014, when Samsung […]
With a considerably larger battery on the Galaxy S7 edge compared to the S6 edge, and even compared to the Galaxy S6 edge+ or Note 5, you would expect the flagship to offer out of this world battery life right out of the box. That is unfortunately not the case, and as we noted in our review, […]
Samsung's 2015 lineup of Galaxy flagships brought some major changes, including a revamped physical design and greatly improved software. But while they fixed some long-standing issues, all four Galaxy flagships from last year took away some major features, mainly expandable storage and removable batteries. In case of the latter, Samsung added insult to injury by putting in […]
Undependable battery life was probably the only major issue with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, and despite Samsung's promise of better power management because of the efficient Exynos CPU and fast and wireless charging support, neither of the two devices scored high on endurance on a single charge. The Galaxy Note 5 and […]
The Galaxy Note 5 went official a bit earlier than each Note flagship does following its predecessor, but as many of us Note fans found out, Samsung has no plans to launch the phablet anywhere except the US, Canada and a couple of Asian markets. Many of those fans probably didn’t feel too bad, as […]
