There's been plenty of confusion over the One UI 2.0 beta program for the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10. Samsung hasn't been able to stick to schedule and has delayed the release of both the Galaxy S10 Android 10 beta and the Galaxy Note 10 beta. Of course, in the company's defense, it never […]
It has been nearly two weeks since the Galaxy S9 One UI (Android Pie) beta program has been live in South Korea, Germany, and the US. Samsung doesn't seem to be in a hurry to expand the beta program to more countries, which is slightly worrying given the company has said the final Pie update […]
Samsung took everyone by surprise the day it kicked off its first beta program for a major Android upgrade. The first one was for Android Marshmallow for the Galaxy S6, and Samsung has run a beta program for each major Android upgrade since then for its Galaxy S flagships. The Galaxy S9 Android Pie beta […]
The Android 8.0 Oreo beta program for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ is at an end. Samsung had revealed that the beta program would come to a close on January 17th, and while the company didn't make a final announcement that the program has indeed ended, we're not expecting to see any more betas. […]
We're not complaining. Samsung made an awesome move this week by releasing a beta version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in order to give users of the device a chance to test everything out. This will help the company make sure everything is prim and proper before globally […]
With Android 10, Google is pushing gestures as the standard way of navigation.

Samsung One UI has been under the spotlight ever since the company revealed it at its developer conference last year. It's a beautiful interface that makes one-handed use easier on big-screen phones and introduces plenty of new features, and Samsung has also been pretty quick with releasing One UI through the Android Pie update for […]
Samsung switched to software navigation keys with the Galaxy S8 and has launched every new device since then with software keys instead of the traditional hard home button and capacitive back and recents keys. Not everyone liked the change, but it's a change that's here to stay. However, Samsung did introduce a neat solution for […]
So the reason Samsung is taking its time with Android Pie was confirmed today to be a completely new user interface. The Samsung Experience UX will be succeeded by the One UI, a new take on how users access information and features on their devices. One UI will bring both visual and functional changes, and […]
The one major worrying aspect of the Galaxy S9 Android Pie beta leak that surfaced earlier week is no doubt the new icons Samsung is using for its proprietary apps. As many of you pointed out in the comments, those icons just don't look good. You could call them cute, but they aren't what any […]
The Galaxy Note 9 is perhaps the most complete flagship smartphone Samsung has launched yet. It's expensive, sure, but it also brings a lot to the table to justify the $1,000 price tag. The Galaxy Tab S4, meanwhile, is a good tablet, but its price is just too high for it to be an easy […]
Samsung is the biggest Android smartphone vendor on the planet and has been for many years. Perhaps that why many fans and enthusiasts, in particular, were disappointed to know that there's not going to be an Android P beta for the Galaxy S9 even though Google has opened up the beta program to devices from […]
