One UI 6's rollout for Galaxy smartphones and tablets is in full swing. Samsung has released the stable/official One UI 6 update for eight Galaxy devices in the last five days. That probably breaks some kind of record, but I've been too busy laughing at the lousy “Welcome to One UI 6” message on my Galaxy Z […]
Samsung Messages used to be the default SMS app on Galaxy smartphones and tablets until 2021. With the Galaxy S21 lineup and One UI 3.1, Samsung started pushing Google Messages as the default SMS app while continuing to have its own app installed, and that's been the case on every new phone launched since then. […]
An Android port of iMessage wasn't meant to be, but why hasn't Samsung copied Apple's staple messaging app yet? Hey, wait a minute...
The way Apple locks down its customers has long been heralded as the epitome of prudent business management. It was presented as the best way for companies that make mobile devices to ensure that their user base remained loyal, and companies that took a different route were almost looked down upon. Apple's infamous walled garden […]
It's clear that Samsung thinks AI is crucial to driving growth for premium devices. There couldn't have been a more obvious indication than Samsung diving straight into the Galaxy AI features as the Unpacked event kicked off yesterday. It didn't say anything about the new Galaxy S24 series and didn't mention anything about its upgrades […]
It's no secret that iPhone owners tend to look down on Android users, regardless of the brand. Anybody who's been ribbed for their blue bubbles in iMessage knows all too well how iPhone owners make fun of their chat bubbles. It's the stuff of countless memes on social media as well, particularly in North America, […]
There's a fine line between pride and arrogance that often gets blurred. Every company is proud of the products that it makes as it should be, but when that pride exercises itself in a way that it begins to make users' decisions for them, that's when it starts feeling like arrogance. Apple and its walled […]
Samsung has a long history of taking jabs at its biggest rival, Apple, through ads. From the “Ingenious” promo series to the iPhone X-inspired notch-shaped haircuts Apple fans are sporting in Samsung's imaginary world, the Korean tech giant has put out a lot of amusing material at Apple's expense. The more recent one is the […]
You know what they say, you never need to ask an iPhone owner what phone they have, chances are they'll tell you that they own an iPhone themselves. This lighthearted jibe aside, there's no denying the fact that iPhone owners are generally a loyal bunch. Call it equal parts undying loyalty to the company and […]
Display bezel wars might become a thing again if the latest rumors about the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max are true. Apple's next flagship might have a thin 1.55mm display bezel (via @UniverseIce), which would represent a significant reduction from the current iPhone 14's 2.17mm bezel. As a result, Samsung may lose to Apple in […]
At first glance, the new Google Pixel Tablet is just an 11-inch slate powered by Android and Google's AI-centric Tensor G2 chipset. And that certainly is the case, but it doesn't take long to realize that Google is trying to market the Pixel Tablet as more than that. Thanks to its included charging dock, it's […]
Apple has been somewhat of a permanent fixture on Interbrand's Best Global Brands list. The overall brand perception for Apple is that it enables customers to connect, pay, play, and thrive. Even as Samsung's perceived brand value has increased significantly and it sits at the fifth spot on that list, it doesn't quite seem to […]
Samsung has the low-cost smartphone market locked down. It's the only Android OEM to reach the top 10 list of best-selling smartphones, all thanks to low-cost Galaxy A devices. In terms of high-end phones, Samsung leads the Android smartphone segment, yet Apple still has better traction than all other OEMs, especially in western markets, where […]
Just when everyone thought the Android vs. iPhone debate was settled once and for all, Apple's dominance is seen rising once again in the smartphone industry. And this is an interesting one. Several reports claim that the Gen Z crowd (people born after 1996) increasingly prefers iPhones over their Android counterparts, especially in the US. […]
Samsung has long had an aversion to OLED displays for TVs. That's despite the fact that it's the largest manufacturer of AMOLED displays for mobile devices. It's not that the company didn't have the capacity to make large OLED panels. Samsung maintained that it didn't view this technology as worthy of being utilized for high-end […]
