LG doesn't have a good track record when it comes to being in Samsung's shadow. The company claims that its phones are terrific, but if you've seen the latest G5, which takes Google's Project Ara and tries to consumerize it (though unsuccessfully), you understand that when LG copies a company or “borrows” an idea, it […]
I know, I know: the title of this column is bound to already have a few readers burning me in effigy. Sure, any phone with 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM is worth talking about. After all, there are few popular smartphones with 6GB of RAM, and the RAM amount is enough to match a current-day laptop […]
It's Galaxy Note season, and with a new arrival soon to emerge, there's the usual discussion about whether or not the Galaxy Note (in this case, the Galaxy Note 7) is worth the financial investment from consumers. Everything in life is about perspective, but in some cases, a given perspective goes too far: it goes from saying that “the […]
I have always had a genuine respect for HTC's selfie cameras. No, I don't take selfies all that often, but I know a good selfie camera when I use it. In the limited experience I had with the One M7 and One M8 over the last few years, I gained respect for the saturated, up-close […]
The Galaxy Note 6 is on the way, and the Galaxy Note 5 is the current reigning Note device, but the Note 5 has had its share of critics (whether or not its criticisms are justified will be left up to your own conscience). The Galaxy Note 5 ditched the removable battery and microSD card of […]
The Galaxy Note 5 is the best productivity device Samsung’s ever made, but the new phablet hasn’t arrived to market without its share of criticism. Of the criticisms out there that I can think of (the so-called stylus flaw, glass construction, lack of removable battery, no microSD card slot, removal of the IR blaster, etc.) […]
Dear Samsung, Let me just say that your Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event on Thursday, August 13th in NYC was a huge hit. You took the stage to unveil the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5, two devices that we knew were on the way. While photos have leaked in recent weeks, few could […]
After a series of mostly accurate leaks over the past few weeks, including our own exclusive reports, Samsung has finally unveiled its high-end phablets for 2015, the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 edge+. Both these devices feature almost similar specifications – a 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED display, 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 processor, 4GB […]
The Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are Samsung’s “next big thing” that are soaking up the limelight, but a new report out of Korea says that Samsung’s already testing the “next next big thing” – that is, post-Galaxy Note 5. A source says that the Galaxy S7, codenamed “Jungfrau,” is being tested by the Korean manufacturer […]
Smartphones are often considered to be a reflection of the manufacturer who makes them, with some saying that “a smartphone is no smarter than its maker.” That may just indeed be true in Samsung’s case. The Korean manufacturer decided not to go with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 processor due to overheating issues, and new evidence […]
Qualcomm has now decided to answer the claims that have been made about its octa-core, Snapdragon 810 processor. Qualcomm confirmed earlier this year that a major manufacturer wouldn’t be using its Snapdragon 810; many picked Samsung as the secret manufacturer, and Samsung witnessed to it when the Korean manufacturer announced its Galaxy S6 and S6 […]
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are cutting edge in pretty much every aspect. They have Samsung's powerful Exynos 7420 processor, a beautiful display (curved on the S6 edge), one of the industry's best smartphone cameras, and things like an accurate fingerprint sensor and more, packed under stunning bodies that feel extremely premium thanks to […]
Samsung’s newest devices have the company’s greatest critics applauding the company for what may be the first time in a long time. And, for many, Samsung’s Galaxy S6 and S6 edge have made their dreams come true: they’ve always wanted a Samsung smartphone with a lot less Samsung software, more of Google’s, and a design […]
