My three favorite Galaxy Z Flip 5 features could be yours, too
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is one of the best phones announced in 2023. The Z Flip 5's announcement wasn't as exciting as it could've been due to all the leaks and rumors leading into Galaxy Unpacked. Nevertheless, what little pre-release hype there was is now gone, and with the dust settled, all that's left […]

Samsung missed a few tricks with One UI 6.0 update

I really am looking forward to the new One UI 6.0 quick toggle panel
One UI 6.0 is nowhere to be found yet, but Samsung jumped the gun earlier this week and accidentally spilled the beans on the beta program through one of its news portals. And although that premature announcement didn't reveal much about the update, it did confirm one massive UI change. Namely, One UI 6.0 completely […]

Samsung Wonderland is still the best holiday wallpaper generator
Samsung released Wonderland a couple of years ago as a Good Lock module for users who want to generate custom wallpapers. If you ask me, Wonderland is still one of the most fun custom wallpaper solutions, especially if you're in a festive mood now that the holiday season is upon us. If you've used Samsung's […]

One of the biggest One UI 5.0 features is probably pointless for many users
One UI 5.0 (and Android 13) is a considerably huge update for Samsung Galaxy smartphones (reaching nearly 3GB in size over-the-air for some of them), and Samsung has been steadily rolling it out to more and more devices over the last couple of weeks to achieve its goal of possibly completing the rollout completely before […]

One UI 5.0 fixes a wallpaper variety issue on Galaxy phones
Every new smartphone from Samsung, whether it's cheap or an uber-costly flagship, comes with new wallpapers. It's just one way Samsung makes new phones stand out from existing ones, but as you may have noticed, Samsung's default out-of-the-box wallpapers always tend to be boring and similar to those that came before, especially on its flagship […]

The Galaxy S10’s Bixby Routines is my favorite Bixby feature
The Galaxy S10 lineup brings quite a few software tricks, and Bixby Routines is my favorite after having used both the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e in the last three weeks. Routines is a feature that Samsung lifted from its Good Lock app and lets you automate various aspects of the device when certain conditions […]

What if Samsung could make the Galaxy S10’s bezels customizable through software?
So Samsung just released Good Lock 2018, a new and updated version of its interesting take on how a futuristic smartphone user interface would look like. Hidden deep among the Good Lock 2018 functionality is something called Edge Touch, which allows you to disable the edges of the device's display from reacting to touch. Well, […]

Apple being sued by the US shows Samsung was right all along
The way Apple locks down its customers has long been heralded as the epitome of prudent business management. It was presented as the best way for companies that make mobile devices to ensure that their user base remained loyal, and companies that took a different route were almost looked down upon. Apple's infamous walled garden […]

My Galaxy S24+ first impressions based on a two-year Galaxy S22+ experience
I've used the Galaxy S22+ for two years. It never let me down in terms of performance, battery life, or durability, and I can honestly say it still has life left in it two years after release. Nevertheless, I decided to upgrade to the new Galaxy S24+, which Samsung announced on January 17, and I […]

Charging people to use Galaxy AI is the dumbest idea ever
It felt like Samsung's Unpacked event last week wasn't as much for introducing the Galaxy S24 series as it was for introducing Galaxy AI. All of the media messaging prior to the event had been hyping up the new artificial intelligence features that the lineup brings to the table. Samsung made no secret of the […]

Not unveiling Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy at Qualcomm’s event is backfiring now for Samsung
Samsung must have made the decision to shift to Snapdragon chipsets entirely for the Galaxy S23 series with a heavy heart. It was almost like an admission of failure, that it couldn't produce an Exynos chip that had the capability to take on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. So the company worked out a special […]

Samsung is right to ditch the dumb idea of cheap foldables, for now
It been rumored for the longest time that Samsung is working on cheap foldable phones. There were even rumors that the Galaxy A series could get foldables. Currently, Samsung's foldables are exclusively offered through the Galaxy Z lineup. They're firmly in the flagship territory, with the cheapest option being the Galaxy Z Flip 5 that […]

Dear TM Roh, It’s time for some much-needed shock and awe
TM Roh took over the reins of Samsung MX at the start of 2020. To say that it was a very difficult time would be an understatement. The pandemic had gripped a world staring global recession in the face. Global supply chains were disrupted and life as we knew it came to a standstill. He […]

MediaTek’s new chip is a reminder that time’s running out for Exynos
MediaTek came out all guns blazing with the Dimensity 9300, its new flagship smartphone processor. Just a few years ago, the Taiwanese chip firm was viewed as a supplier of average low-end and mid-range chips. However, the company has turned around its fortune over the past three years with remarkable determination, and Samsung should learn […]
