Lessons learned: the Galaxy Note 7 recall, Note rebranding, and a 2017 Samsung comeback
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 survived my Galaxy Note 7 recall trip to Verizon
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 […]

The Galaxy Note 7 recall has nothing to do with removable batteries
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 […]

The Galaxy Note 9 has made me impatient like no other Samsung flagship
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 […]

The Galaxy Note 8 will be special for one rarely discussed reason
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 […]

2017 will be the year of Samsung
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.

A refurbished Galaxy Note 7 with a measly 3,200 mAh battery makes no sense
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 […]

This Galaxy Note competitor in 2017 is one company’s high tech comeback
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 […]

Samsung shouldn’t get rid of the Galaxy Note lineup just yet
Let's be honest. The Galaxy Note 7 was an absolute disaster for the company. Before the big release, the Note 7 was one of the most anticipated handsets of 2016. However, things went downhill pretty fast for Samsung. Following initial reports of overheating plus the subsequent recall and the arrival of the so called “safe units”, the […]

Pimp My Pixel: reflect your Galaxy Note 7 rebel pride with Google’s Live Photos Case
I've done a VR hardware comparison between the Samsung Gear VR and the Google Daydream View this week, primarily because, as a pre-order customer for the Pixel XL, I received the Daydream View headset (an $80 value) for free. I do love pre-order promos. And yet, I remember thinking to myself one night that, for all the appreciation I […]

Galaxy Note 7 users are buying the Galaxy S7; now it’s time for Android Nougat
The number “7” has been said to be a number of completion, a number of perfection, a “lucky” number (hence Samsung's Project Lucky that brought us the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge this past March 11th), but unfortunately, the Korean giant ran into a disaster with the Galaxy Note 7. For users who felt a strong connection […]

Still holding on to a Galaxy Note 7? It’s just not worth it anymore
The Galaxy Note 7 could have done so much for Samsung. The ill-fated flagship had a lot of potential. When the handset was unveiled in August this year many suggested that it would turn out to be Samsung's best-selling smartphone and would carry the impressive sales momentum set by the Galaxy S7 series. It all went […]

The next best thing: what you can expect to keep (and give up) in the Galaxy Note 7 to Galaxy S7 transition
I wrote a column some time ago on the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 being more alike than ever, a column that was designed to challenge Note faithful on how they perceive the Galaxy S series in general. Sure, the Galaxy Note 7 has an S Pen that you won't find in the Galaxy […]

Why the Galaxy Note 7 mess excites me more about the Galaxy S8
Samsung had a great start to 2016 with the Galaxy S7. The existing flagship series is without a doubt a hit. It played a major role in turning the company's fortunes around and Samsung wanted to continue the momentum with the Galaxy Note 7. For all intents and purposes, the Galaxy Note 7 seemed like […]
