Samsung's Game Optimization Service controversy is rearing its ugly head again with the Galaxy S24 lineup, at least for one popular game. For those unaware, the Game Optimization Service, or GOS for short, is responsible for keeping the phone's temperature in check by throttling the CPU and GPU when necessary, which can result in a […]
Samsung has spent the last half a decade doing everything it can to release new software updates as quickly as possible, but the company seems to have slowed things down this year.

While Samsung fans look forward to the One UI 6.1 update, Google has made Android 15 official by releasing the first test build for developers so they can get an early start in building their apps for the next version of the operating system.

Samsung isn't looking to change its habit of flooding some markets with multiple spin-offs of its budget and mid-range Galaxy A smartphones in 2024, as evident by the existence of the Galaxy F15 and the Galaxy M15. The F15 will be a rebranded Galaxy A15 for Indian retailer Flipkart (the M15 will be sold on […]
Earlier today, we heard a rumor that Samsung is thinking about equipping the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a 200MP primary camera similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. But a new report paints a bleak picture for those hoping to see camera upgrades on Samsung's next premium foldable. According to our friends over at GalaxyClub, […]
One of the major complaints we have about Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold smartphones is that they don't offer exciting camera specs for their asking price. For instance, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 has camera hardware similar to the base Galaxy S24 while costing almost twice as much and only stands out because of the under-display […]
Those who have purchased a Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and some other recent Samsung phones from T-Mobile have discovered that they can get rid of the network lock on their phones earlier than they're supposed to. Carrier-locked smartphones in the US are restricted to the carrier they were purchased from to avoid […]

It doesn't bring any […]

There had been rumors that Samsung would be releasing a software update ahead of the Galaxy S24 series' retail launch to fix some issues, such as inconsistency in photo quality, but the S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra went on sale with the same software they had been running pre-launch. But the first update for the […]
The Galaxy S24 series was officially announced in mid-January with One UI 6.1 onboard, and Samsung will be spending the first half of 2024 working on and bringing One UI 6.1 to older Galaxy devices. A lot of Galaxy phones were eligible for Android 14 and One UI 6.0 and pretty much all of them […]
Samsung ditched the microSD slot on flagship Galaxy smartphones back in 2021. Without the option for microSD expansion, Samsung's flagship phones are on par with Apple's iPhones when it comes to storage choices, something the Korean giant's diehard fans still haven't forgiven it for. Back in 2021, Apple even offered more storage options than the latest Galaxy […]
