Good Lock needs worldwide availability now more than ever

With the arrival of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Good Lock experimental app may have become more integral to the Samsung customer's user experience than ever. The new foldable flip phone has a larger 3.4-inch cover screen (Flex Window), and while users can't run every app on the Flex Window out of the box, […]

Samsung Good Lock is still not available worldwide, and that needs fixing

Samsung’s first few years of making Android smartphones had the company putting in every software feature imaginable into its devices. Then, it stopped. Starting with the Galaxy S6 lineup in 2015, Samsung turned a new leaf and decided to cut down on the amount of fancy functionality it added on top of stock Android, while […]

A Good Lock disable option would keep TouchWiz fans close by

Good Lock. What comes to mind when you think of it? Well, some think “good luck,” and Samsung is hoping to achieve that with the UI experience that we’ll venture on a limb to say will dictate the Korean giant’s future experience in TouchWiz. We’ve had our say on the matter here at SamMobile; we’re […]

I hope Galaxy tablets will get a “lock touchscreen” feature one day

If you've used a Galaxy tablet long enough, at one point or another you may have run across the same touchscreen issue that I have. I.e., you're sitting on your couch, watching a video on YouTube or another platform, and you decide to grab a glass of water or a snack. You move around, touch […]

Some One UI 4 haptic feedback changes are so good I wish they were ubiquitous

Samsung began rolling out the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update late last year, and you could say that the latest firmware is a collection of minor but many refinements that elevate the user experience. We counted over 60 changes in the first Android 12 beta build, and the list continues. One UI 4.0 refines […]

The Last Goodbye!

Today, I say goodbye to the company I have been with since nearly its inception. It’s Faryaab Sheikh, the ex-Editor-in-Chief of SamMobile. I joined SamMobile when Danny Dorresteijn, founder, had just converted the world’s biggest Samsung firmware archive – SamFirmware – into SamMobile, which is now the world’s biggest online Samsung community with over 4 […]

One UI 6.1 highlighted one big problem Samsung’s still dealing with

Samsung has made numerous changes to its mobile strategy over the past few years, and I happen to agree with many of the company's more recent decisions. With few exceptions, I like where Samsung's flagship phones and One UI have been heading. However, the latest One UI 6.1 update reminded me that Samsung isn't perfect. […]

Samsung missed an opportunity to make Circle to Search even better

Circle to Search has risen above all other Galaxy AI to become the most popular among Galaxy S24 users. And it sort of is the expected outcome, seeing how much the company has pushed Circle to Search to the forefront through promotional material and press releases. The company even paid more than one million dollars […]

Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the undercover king of slab-type compact phones

There's been some talk lately about the slow death of the compact phone. To me, the whole situation is odd, as I've been watching for years how numerous smartphone users online claim to want a compact device, only for compact devices to constantly fail to reach significant sales figures. I wonder, how often has this […]

I hate Samsung for removing its navigation gesture system in One UI 6.1

Samsung is notorious for loading its Android smartphones with in-house versions of some Google apps, essentially giving users two apps for doing the same thing. Some call these Samsung apps bloatware, but there's no denying the fact that Samsung's versions of those apps often offer more functionality and flexibility. The same goes for features built […]
