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 […]

One UI 6.1 highlighted one big problem Samsung’s still dealing with
Samsung has made numerous changes to its mobile strategy over the past few years, and I happen to agree with many of the company's more recent decisions. With few exceptions, I like where Samsung's flagship phones and One UI have been heading. However, the latest One UI 6.1 update reminded me that Samsung isn't perfect. […]

Galaxy AI might be what finally makes Samsung bury the iPhone
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S series faces some of its toughest battles in major markets across North America and Europe. The lineup really only has one competitor, the iPhone, as even though Chinese OEMs make very capable high-end phones, many of them aren't released in these markets due to various reasons. This makes the iPhone often […]

Galaxy S24’s excellent dual recording camera mode needs to come to older devices
Over the last couple of years, Samsung has made it a point to bring new camera features from its latest flagship phones to older flagship phones, but the company appears to be making an exception this year.

Samsung should bring Google’s Find My Device integration to Galaxy SmartTags
The Galaxy SmartTag 2 is one of the best object location trackers around in terms of hardware and technology. It is compact, has a built-in key attachment ring, features UWB for ultra-precision finding, and lasts up to 500 days on a single charge. However, an object tracker is only as good as its network, and […]

Galaxy AI might just be the least disruptive implementation of AI
Earlier this year, Samsung released what it now calls its first AI phone, i.e., the Galaxy S24. It's the company's first handset with Galaxy AI, the latter of which is a term used for a suite of ‘Advanced Intelligence' tools and features powered by on-device and cloud-based artificial intelligence. People have various opinions about Galaxy […]

Samsung missed an opportunity to make Circle to Search even better
Circle to Search has risen above all other Galaxy AI to become the most popular among Galaxy S24 users. And it sort of is the expected outcome, seeing how much the company has pushed Circle to Search to the forefront through promotional material and press releases. The company even paid more than one million dollars […]

Samsung’s Easter gift for 25M+ phones makes iPhone users more jealous
Samsung's making it a habit to reward its customers with software updates around major holidays. It's as if these roll outs are meant to be a gift for them, something for them to enjoy and hopefully talk about with their loved ones as they take a bit of downtime to reconnect with friends and family. […]

Samsung should bring Google Photos integration to its Gallery app
People often complain about duplicate apps on Samsung phones and tablets. If you don't know already, Galaxy devices come with apps from both Google and Samsung for the same tasks. However, the ones from Samsung are generally more feature-rich. For example, Samsung's web browser runs smoother than Google Chrome and has more customization features. The […]

Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the undercover king of slab-type compact phones
There's been some talk lately about the slow death of the compact phone. To me, the whole situation is odd, as I've been watching for years how numerous smartphone users online claim to want a compact device, only for compact devices to constantly fail to reach significant sales figures. I wonder, how often has this […]

Two things I miss about my Galaxy S22+ after upgrading to S24+
It's been a month since I upgraded from the Galaxy S22+ to Samsung's new Galaxy S24+ flagship. I haven't sold the S22+, nor do I intend to. The phone sits on my desk, and I've occasionally gone back to using it briefly to compare things between the old and the new. And I must say, […]
