Samsung exec hitching a ride for the White House – with the Blue House

Being a top Samsung executive must be exciting; at least in the sense that there would be no such thing as “just another day at the office”. Take the Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Kim Ki-nam, the man in charge of its massive semiconductor division, as an example, who is the CEO of Samsung as well. […]

[Poll] Still interested in Samsung’s Android Wear watches? Google is

Android Wear on Samsung hardware is a big deal post-2016. Regardless of whether or not you've forgotten that it was a deal in the first place, which I totally did not and it absolutely is. You know, as absolute as such a statement can be, not coming directly from Samsung. But don't worry, that's still pretty […]

Nope, Samsung will never make a smart car – here’s why

Samsung has been flirting with the automotive industry again this month, confirming that at least one new sizable chipmaking projects catering to vehicle manufacturers is underway.

Samsung Gallery can now ‘Remaster’ your photos – here’s how that looks

The Samsung Gallery app has received a new update which adds another tool to its widening repertoire of image retouching and management features.

Galaxy Tab A7 Lite leaks, both of them… erm, make that four

The Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is set to launch in multiple configurations, as was to be expected. And staying true to yesterday's ‘official' leaks, today's info originates from the Google Play Store.
