As we said in our Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ review, the fingerprint sensor is easier to use on Samsung's latest mid-range phones compared to the company's 2017 flagships, but it's still not in the ideal location. That's especially true on the 6-inch Galaxy A8+; the sensor is housed in the same cutout as […]
It's been something of a tradition for Samsung, putting in more work as far as software optimization is concerned on their Note flagships, more so than its mainstream Galaxy S flagship phones. The Galaxy Note 4 may have been an exception, and we'll never know how the Note 7 would have held up in the […]
There have been countless rumors that the Galaxy S9 might feature an optical fingerprint sensor. What that means is that the sensor will be integrated into the display itself. This was also rumored for the Galaxy S8 as well but Samsung decided against it because apparently, the technology wasn't ready. Do you think the Galaxy […]
Here at SamMobile, we have been impressed by the battery life on the Galaxy Note 8. Both the single SIM and dual SIM models have endurance that's on par with the Galaxy S8+ despite a smaller battery capacity, even managing to last longer at times. Whether this is down to increased optimization on the software […]
There's no denying the fact the Infinity Display that debuted on board the Galaxy S8 is fantastic, but ever since Apple took the wraps off the iPhone X, we've noticed a number of readers request that Samsung adopts a similar near-bezel-less notch design for the upcoming Galaxy S9, because they believe it's more immersive. Until […]
Samsung has officially released the Galaxy Note 8 in 42 countries across the globe. The new flagship will also be released in additional markets down the road. The Galaxy Note 8 has been well received. Samsung has said that it has broken pre-order records for the phablet lineup. Clearly, there are a lot of people […]
Now that the Galaxy Note 8 is official, many of you will be planning to pick one up. You will soon be able to place pre-orders for the handset so you will have to decide on a color. Samsung is going to offer the Galaxy Note 8 in four different colors. Customers in Europe will […]
At this point, it looks like the Galaxy Note 8 will indeed ship with a 3,300 mAh battery, smaller than the battery in the Galaxy S8+ and last year's ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. We could ignore the rumors and hold on to hope that the actual battery size will be bigger, but the rumors and […]
Bixby Voice was originally set to launch on board the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, but a lack of resources meant the firm was only able to release the feature in one region: South Korea. However, last month Samsung kicked off an Early Access Program for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ owners in the United States […]
Maybe the ugly word is too hard, but let's face it, Samsung was never too interested in beautiful smartphone designs until the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge (or the Galaxy Alpha, if you want to keep that ignored phone in memory). Samsung's smartphone designs were definitely the most functional in terms of ergonomics and […]
It was reported yesterday that Samsung might alter its strategy and release only one flagship smartphone next year. Doing this would apparently enable the company to put quality ahead of quantity, but it has been launching two flagships every year for the past few years without any problems so an argument can be made that […]
When Samsung announced that it's terminating production of its latest flagship smartphone yesterday, the Internet quickly became flooded with strong suggestions that the South Korean company should ditch the Galaxy Note branding as many people believe that its reputation is too tarnished for consumers to want to pick up a next-generation handset. As I mentioned in my […]
After the Galaxy Note 7 debacle, Samsung has announced that it will resume shipping the Galaxy Note 7 in Europe from October 28. If you did not preorder a Galaxy Note 7, would you still consider buying Samsung's latest phablet when it goes on sale in your country? Samsung could release the Galaxy S8 earlier than usual next […]
Samsung announced earlier this week that Android 6.0 will be rolling out to the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge and other Galaxy devices in the coming weeks. It was a welcome announcement, but it also got us thinking: Why did the release of the newest version of Android for existing devices come just a week […]
Samsung switched to software navigation keys with the Galaxy S8 and has launched every new device since then with software keys instead of the traditional hard home button and capacitive back and recents keys. Not everyone liked the change, but it's a change that's here to stay. However, Samsung did introduce a neat solution for […]
