Samsung’s premium smartwatches might not be premium enough

Samsung is showing more signs that it might expand its smartwatch lineup and release more premium models (or at least one) within the next few months. That's good news for any Galaxy Watch enthusiasts or prospective buyers who feel like Samsung's wearables can look toyish. However, a premium smartwatch model might not be the answer […]

5 things I wish Samsung Galaxy AI could help me with

Galaxy AI is a wonderful introduction to what artificial intelligence can do for smartphones. Samsung has benefitted from the first-mover advantage, as it has established itself as the only major smartphone vendor to bring AI features to smartphones, even though others have made some similar efforts. Samsung’s marketing blitz around Galaxy AI and the fact […]

Is Samsung preparing to join an already-failed market segment?

Samsung has been working on a new mixed reality (XR) headset for at least a year. The company confirmed its intentions to build “the next XR experience” during the first Unpacked event of 2023 more than a year ago, and the final product might go on sale before the end of 2024. Launching a new […]

I hope Samsung’s efforts to reverse 0% share in China go beyond a basic phone

Samsung's mobile business may be thriving in a lot of markets but there's one market where it has completely been wiped out by the competition: China. Nevermind the fact that it's one of the world's most lucrative markets for smartphones or that it's a country of more than a billion people. Few markets provide the […]

I’m starting to hate my Galaxy Watch and can’t wait to swap it for a Ring

The closer we get to the next Galaxy Unpacked event, the more I feel like my smartwatch is becoming less attractive. My Galaxy Watch 5's appeal is waning, and not because I'm anticipating Samsung to unveil a new smartwatch series at Unpacked but because I love the idea of the Galaxy Ring more every day […]

I loved the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s flat display… until I didn’t

The Galaxy S24 Ultra is the best flagship phone available from Samsung currently, and like many others, I have been having a great time using it. The smooth performance is the biggest draw for me. The Galaxy S23 Ultra was the first Samsung phone that felt totally impervious to lag and stutter and matched the […]

The Galaxy M15 has just made the A15 useless in Europe

Samsung is about to release the Galaxy M15 in Europe, and we can't find a good reason why the M-branded phone won't soon make the Galaxy A15 obsolete. Galaxy A and Galaxy M phones have always been like two sides of the same coin. Galaxy A phones usually offer better overall features, marginally better firmware […]

New Virtual Gamepad app needs a few thing to be way better

As many of you probably found out earlier today, Samsung released a new mobile app that helps newcomers to the Gaming Hub platform on Samsung TVs get into cloud gaming. And I think it's a great idea and something that Gaming Hub was missing. Think about it. One of the best qualities of Gaming Hub […]

An all-digital Samsung Music Frame Pro is the natural next step

Samsung complemented its audio equipment lineup at CES 2024 with the Music Frame — a smart speaker inspired by The Frame smart TV and versatile enough to be used independently or paired with Samsung's Q-Symphony soundbars. It is now available for purchase, and Samsung even lets you buy a second Music Frame at a discount. […]

Circle to Search has room for improvement for S Pen users

Samsung believed enough in its AI-powered Circle to Search feature to promote it extensively at and after Unpacked. The investment appears to have paid off, as according to a recent study, a good portion of Galaxy S24 users bought the new flagship because they wanted to use Circle to Search, among other Galaxy AI features.

Two things about the One UI 6 Quick Panel that frustrate me

One UI 6.0 was released nearly six months ago, or eight months ago if you count the beta version that was made available before the stable release. In the time since, Samsung has moved on to One UI 6.1, which debuted on the Galaxy S24 series in January this year and has now made it […]

Samsung’s product naming has a grammar problem

I'm a big fan of Samsung using proper nouns to label most of its home electronics. For instance, PC monitors names are no longer just a string of seemingly random letters and numbers. Instead, they belong to lineups named ‘Odyssey' or ‘ViewFinity.' It makes Samsung look better instead of coming across as a company that […]

SolarCell remote is great but costs premium TV buyers a metal finish

Samsung's TV remotes went through a few evolutionary phases in recent years, and we seem to have arrived at a point of consistency across different TV lineups. What I mean by this is that every 2024 mid-range and high-end TV model launched so far comes with the same remote, i.e., the SolarCell. That includes 4K […]
