Back in 2016, Google introduced seamless updates to Android, a feature that allows a new software update to be installed in the background instead of requiring a reboot and locking the user out from using the device during the update process.

As you may have heard a thousand times already, the displays on the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 Ultra are not as vibrant as Samsung fans have come to expect from Galaxy smartphones over the years. To be more precise, the vivid display mode on the S24 series doesn't do what it should do: make […]
WhatsApp is introducing a new change to the app that privacy-minded users will appreciate. The company has introduced a new feature–or limitation, to be more precise–that prevents screenshots of profile pictures. WhatsApp removed the option for users to save or download others' profile pictures a few years back, and now, it is going one step […]
Samsung's Game Optimization Service controversy is rearing its ugly head again with the Galaxy S24 lineup, at least for one popular game.

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.

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 […]
