Samsung’s Modes and Routines is sorely lacking device ecosystem features
I've been a fan of Samsung's Modes and Routines tool for years, but the feeling that it could use a few more options never went away.

The Galaxy S10’s Bixby Routines is my favorite Bixby feature
The Galaxy S10 lineup brings quite a few software tricks, and Bixby Routines is my favorite after having used both the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e in the last three weeks.

Galaxy AI is far from what true phone AI should be, but it’s got potential
Much has been said about Galaxy AI, Samsung’s suite of artificial intelligence features, introduced with the Galaxy S24 series last month.

My Galaxy S24+ first impressions based on a two-year Galaxy S22+ experience
I've used the Galaxy S22+ for two years. It never let me down in terms of performance, battery life, or durability, and I can honestly say it still has life left in it two years after release. Nevertheless, I decided to upgrade to the new Galaxy S24+, which Samsung announced on January 17, and I […]

Apple forced to discount iPhone 15 in China as it flirts with danger
You almost never hear about Apple providing a discount on its older iPhones, let alone its latest models. Its retail and carrier partners may offer discounts, but it almost never happens that you get discounted iPhones from the company's online or retail stores.

The first alleged live photos of the upcoming Galaxy S24 Ultra have emerged, and they give me hope that the flagship set for a January 2024 unveiling will become the best S Pen phone we've had in years (or ever). The last S Pen device I owned was the Galaxy Note 10, and although I […]

Only ChatGPT can stop Bixby from being such a waste of space
By the time Samsung jumped on the voice assistant train with Bixby, it was already too late. Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant had already been out for some time. Not only did it arrive late but Bixby was also evidently less capable of the lot. It was clear that Samsung's voice assistant tech had […]

One UI 5.0 removed an Android feature nobody seems to care about
One UI is, by far, our favorite overlay for Android OS. It's one of the many reasons why we are Samsung fans, and the latest version — One UI 5.0 — reminded us again why we prefer Samsung's proprietary Android skin over any other.
