Four weeks ago, Samsung went ahead and announced the Galaxy Round in South Korea, as the world's first smartphone with a curved, aka flexible display. This was a major tech announcement not only for Samsung but also for the industry. Picture courtesy of Samsung Tomorrow After using flat panels for over two decades its time […]
The Galaxy S23 Ultra might be the last of its kind and may have marked the end of an era that lasted no less than nine years. If you know your Samsung history, you may have already put the puzzle pieces together. I am, of course, referring to the curved display era. The “curved-around-the-edges” display […]
Samsung is leading the way to foldables less than two years after the launch of the original Galaxy Fold. Its closest rival in the foldable segment, Huawei, is now following in its footsteps with a new flagship that's shaped almost exactly like the Galaxy Z Fold 2. Samsung has set the tone for the emerging […]
We're hoping Samsung's foldable phones will soon get some healthy competition from Apple.
Whether you love it, hate it, or you’re on the fence about Samsung’s Galaxy Fold lineup, there’s no denying that the Galaxy Fold and its upcoming sequel, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, have already changed the mobile landscape. Regardless of whether or not flexible display technology is the future, the Galaxy Fold’s arrival to the […]
If the original Galaxy Fold was primarily a tablet with a smartphone undertone, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is surely blurring the lines between the smartphone and tablet concepts with a lot more elegance and confidence. It was difficult to recommend the original Galaxy Fold to smartphone users were unsure of the form factor, but this […]
The clamshell form factor is going to make a comeback in the wake of flexible display technology, and at SDC 2019, Samsung hinted that it is at least considering this design language for a future foldable device, possibly even for next year. Motorola already unveiled its first device based on flexible display technology, and it's […]
The “phablet,” or a compound word of “phone” and “tablet,” is one word that you may wish never entered into the human language. Some think it sounds too close to “phlebitis,” or “phabulous” (yes, I spelled it like this intentionally), or some other word that sounds like a sickness, a disease, or a stomach virus […]
Samsung is the top Android OEM worldwide, and, like all important companies, receives its share of ridicule from critics. In years past, critics have labeled the Korean manufacturer one who “throws something against the wall to see what sticks,” referring to Samsung’s constant experimentation with its products. Take the Note Edge, for example: some critics […]
Sony is a company of extremes – a pioneer in bringing exceptional products across categories, yet faltering sometimes on the very basics of a good product. It is a company of remarkable engineering achievements, many class defining products, intriguing innovations, yet not very profitable of late in many key product categories. Anyone who follows this […]
I've been going to the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona for years, even when it was held at the previous Montjuic venue, which hasn't hosted the trade show for a long time now. I and the team members accompanying me would primarily visit to check out the Samsung booth, but it was also a great […]
Apple and Samsung remain the dominant forces in the global smartphone market. The former is a titan of the industry in its own right. Its pivot from being purely a hardware company to a subscription service behemoth has been executed subtly and has now become indestructible. Apple makes a lot less hardware compared to Samsung […]
It goes without saying that SamMobile is a Samsung fan website. It's in the name, after all. But from where does this dedication stem? Is it blind fandom? Or do we have good reasons for supporting this mobile brand? Why not another? Why Samsung, in particular? Is it because it's the top smartphone company? Are […]
The rumors were true, and Huawei has responded to Samsung's dominance over the foldable phone market with a Galaxy Z Flip 3 competitor called the P50 Pocket. And once again, as per rumors, Huawei took cost-saving measures to increase the P50 Pocket's chances of success against its rival. The highest barrier to entry in the […]
The older I get, the more I realize that I'm looking for fewer distractions in my day-to-day life, all the while I'm threading a fine line between comfort and minimalism without actually becoming a minimalist. Perhaps it's a purely subjective mid-30s experience that's difficult to put into words, but what I know is that it […]
