    Samsung flagships with plastic are good, who cares about glass anyway?

    Samsung flagships with plastic are good, who cares about glass anyway?

    It has been five years since Samsung launched the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. Few devices have brought such substantial change that the 2015 pair did. These were Samsung's first flagship smartphones that ditched the plastic back for a premium metal and glass build. While some fans mourned the loss of removable batteries, others […]

    Why the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be the ultimate smartphone for enthusiasts

    Why the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be the ultimate smartphone for enthusiasts

    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 […]

    Why Samsung shouldn’t listen to Google’s request for more control

    Why Samsung shouldn’t listen to Google’s request for more control

    It was reported earlier today that Google and Samsung are in negotiations over giving preference to Google's services on Galaxy devices at the expense of Samsung's own services. If reached, such a deal would result in Google Assistant being prioritized over Bixby, Play Store achieving more prominence over the Galaxy Store, and Google having more […]

    Why Google’s Android updates are overrated for Samsung phones now

    There's a reason why Google's Android updates don't excite Samsung Galaxy owners that much, and it has to do with Samsung's One UI.

    Samsung has nailed its smartwatch strategy and Apple knows it

    Samsung has nailed its smartwatch strategy and Apple knows it

    Yes, this might seem like a controversial claim, but hear me out. We have seen all manner of smartwatches from Samsung ever since it started launching them under the Galaxy Gear brand in 2013. The original Galaxy Gear had a square-shaped display and Samsung stuck with that design for the next few models. Then came […]

    Samsung’s in trouble with its diehard fans and they’re running out of patience

    Samsung’s in trouble with its diehard fans and they’re running out of patience

    It used to be that the thing Samsung's most loyal fans used to complain about a lot was software updates. One could cut the company some slack. It launches dozens of smartphones every year and not only do they require software support, but the dozens released in the previous years also do so as well. […]

    Galaxy Note 20 might give you a reason to buy the Galaxy Fold 2 instead

    Galaxy Note 20 might give you a reason to buy the Galaxy Fold 2 instead

    It has almost been a decade since the very first Galaxy Note was launched back in 2011. The tech media had some trouble wrapping their head around this device. It had a stylus at a time when the iPhone had been credited for wiping stylus-equipped phones off the market. It also had a 5.3-inch display […]

    Are foldable phones the future? Yes, they absolutely are!

    Are foldable phones the future? Yes, they absolutely are!

    I have been using the Galaxy Fold as my daily driver ever since it came out. The device has held up surprisingly well to the rigors of daily use, it has even survived a dusty holiday by the beach in Egypt. I don't feel the need to baby the device, it doesn't seem to require […]
