iPhone feels dated as Apple’s sales drop and Samsung rises
Samsung doomsayers on social media have criticized the Korean tech giant and mobile head TM Roh for the so-called stagnant flagship smartphone design in recent years. If you were to listen to these experts, you would've thought Samsung's end was near. However, two years have passed since Samsung changed its pace and the end is […]

The Galaxy M15 has just made the A15 useless in Europe
Samsung is about to release the Galaxy M15 in Europe, and we can't find a good reason why the M-branded phone won't soon make the Galaxy A15 obsolete. Galaxy A and Galaxy M phones have always been like two sides of the same coin. Galaxy A phones usually offer better overall features, marginally better firmware […]

AI proves you made the right choice buying the Galaxy S23 FE
If you always felt like the closest rival to your Galaxy S23 FE was the Galaxy S22, and if you ever doubted choosing the Fan Edition phone over the Galaxy S22 or S22+, you might soon rest easy knowing you made the right decision. Had I been in that position last year, I probably would've […]

Going back to the Galaxy S22+ doesn’t feel like the end of the world
I upgraded from the Galaxy S22+ to the new Galaxy S24+ a little over a month ago. Once I got used to the S24+, I thought that trying out the S22+ again would be almost shockingly bad. To my surprise, that wasn't the case at all. I'm not trying to take anything away from the […]

Even without AI, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is not obsolete in 2024
Despite all the hate the Galaxy S22 Ultra received initially, or rather, the Exynos 2200 chip did, Samsung's 2022 flagship phone has grown into somewhat of an icon in my eyes. And if you're not very interested in Galaxy AI yet, I'd say you can still get at least one or two years of decent […]

I hope Samsung brings Health app to Galaxy Book laptops next
Samsung's Galaxy Book laptops and Galaxy mobile devices are getting better integrated every year. Features like Second Screen work great across One UI for tablets and Windows OS on Galaxy Books. And recently, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro earbuds received a firmware update that enabled Auto Switch for the new Galaxy Book 4 series. Meanwhile, […]

Samsung tricked me out of vivid display mode and I am thankful for it
One very unexpected side effect of using the Galaxy S24+ for the past few weeks is that I'm no longer interested in Samsung's vivid display mode. I know! The vivid mode is iconic among Galaxy phone users, and like many others, I have used it exclusively for years. It was my default setting for Samsung's […]

I’m blown away by Samsung’s Neo QLED TV
While Samsung announced a new series of Neo QLED TVs at CES 2024, it also temporarily reduced the prices of its 2023 models in many markets. These limited-time discounts allowed me to upgrade my smart TV from an entry-level 50-inch / 125cm Crystal 4K model to a Neo QLED 4K one. I've been using my […]

Dear TM Roh, It’s time for some much-needed shock and awe
TM Roh took over the reins of Samsung MX at the start of 2020. To say that it was a very difficult time would be an understatement. The pandemic had gripped a world staring global recession in the face. Global supply chains were disrupted and life as we knew it came to a standstill. He […]

My three favorite Galaxy Z Flip 5 features could be yours, too
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is one of the best phones announced in 2023. The Z Flip 5's announcement wasn't as exciting as it could've been due to all the leaks and rumors leading into Galaxy Unpacked. Nevertheless, what little pre-release hype there was is now gone, and with the dust settled, all that's left […]

Thanks to One UI Watch 5, my Galaxy Watch performs better than it did at launch
Over a month ago, Samsung started rolling out its One UI Watch 5 update on older Wear OS-powered smartwatches, including the Watch 4 and Watch 5 series. And now that we've been using these smartwatches for a while, it's safe to talk about how the new update affected battery life. To put it bluntly, battery […]

Copying Google’s seven year update policy won’t save Samsung
No one does software updates in the Android landscape as well as Samsung, but the Korean manufacturer's superiority has been challenged by Google, which recently launched the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. It promised to support all Pixel devices launched in the future with new Android versions and security patches for seven years. Samsung […]

Samsung’s update game is so strong that we’ve begun to expect a bit too much
The last couple of weeks have been pretty exciting for Samsung fans, especially those who own a Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, or Galaxy S23 Ultra. That's because the company finally started the Android 14 and One UI 6.0 beta program for the Galaxy S23 lineup, with more devices expected to be included in the public […]

If I can blame TM Roh for anything, it’s killing the Galaxy Note series
TM Roh took over Samsung Mobile from DJ Koh at the start of 2020. It was a challenging time for not just the company but the world as the pandemic was raging. Samsung Mobile required new leadership that would lead the world's largest smartphone vendor into the “Next Normal,” a post-pandemic future that would change […]

Three updates in, Galaxy S23 series is as awesome as it was on day one
We will never get tired of praising Samsung for hitting it out the park with the Galaxy S23 lineup. The S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra are the smoothest and fastest flagships Samsung has ever made, and battery life on all three models is also better than any previous Galaxy S flagship. I've been using the […]
