Why does Samsung Mobile boss TM Roh keep upsetting hard-core users!
There's been a clear shift in priorities ever since TM Roh took over as the boss of Samsung's mobile division. Roh agreed to as much in our interview with him during the previous Unpacked event. The focus is on extracting more from less instead of going all out on hardware. While that's commendable, it shouldn't […]

As Chinese OEMs leave Europe, Samsung wins but its customers lose
Dethroning Samsung has long been the singular goal that Chinese OEMs have been working toward. They tried everything. Whether it was blatantly reproducing its innovations, opting for a very aggressive pricing strategy, going on a marketing blitz or doing everything under the sun to somehow steal market share from the Korean juggernaut. Samsung never underestimated […]

Two upgrades I want to see on Samsung’s next ‘cheap’ foldable flip phone
I'm not a fan of foldable phones. Actually, scratch that. I'm not a fan of the Galaxy Z Fold series, because of their narrow cover screens and not-top-of-the-line camera specs despite the expensive price tag. For some reason, though, I like the Galaxy Z Flip line, even though the number of features it lacks compared […]

Why do we choose Samsung? Is it blind fandom or is there more to this?
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 […]

Samsung’s four-year Android upgrade policy gave me butterflies
Samsung recently upped its lead over every other Android manufacturer, including Google, when it comes to software support by announcing that it would provide up to four years of OS upgrades to some of its devices.

Can any good come out of the messy Galaxy S23 FE European launch?
The Galaxy S23 FE might be the best Samsung phone many of us can't have. And that's a real shame, but it is a reality that millions of potential Galaxy S23 FE buyers in Europe are facing. Samsung has released this year's Fan Edition phone in several markets, including the USA and numerous countries in […]

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 […]

I can’t recommend mid-range Galaxy smartphones right now, here’s why
Compared to the first half a decade or so after Samsung first started making Android phones, the company's mid-range phones have come a long way in terms of the features they offer and how they perform in day-to-day use. Well, when it comes to the latter, even flagship Galaxy phones were rather embarrassing for 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 […]

Samsung’s software update game is missing just one tweak
Samsung has impressed everyone with how it has released the Android 14/One UI 6 update for a lot of devices in a short time. The One UI 6 beta program went on a little longer than beta tests for new One UI versions usually do, but it was worth it, as Samsung was able to […]

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 […]

Today could be Samsung’s last day as king of Android updates
Samsung has enjoyed a very comfortable lead over the competition in the field of Android updates over the last few years. Samsung was good at updates from the very beginning of its journey making Android phones, as it used to release two major Android version updates for most devices, something that wasn't guaranteed by other […]

Samsung doesn’t need to rush to copy Google’s promise of 7 years of updates
Diehard Pixel fans were pretty happy when a recent rumor claimed that Google's upcoming Pixel phones could get software updates for seven years. It sounds impressive, even if it's not clear if the seven years mean the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will get seven major Android version updates or if Google is only […]
