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 […]
Samsung has announced that it's discontinuing the Galaxy Note 7. It has recalled the handset once again and is now urging all users to return or exchange their device.

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 […]
Earlier today, Samsung announced that it's going to pull the plug on the Galaxy Note 7 and end production of the handset.

After the immense success of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, the Galaxy Note 7 was expected to offer Samsung an upper hand against Apple's iPhone 7 devices. However, things have turned in a dramatic manner for the company. Samsung had to recall most of the Galaxy Note 7 units sold worldwide due to faulty batteries […]
You have all heard about the Galaxy Note 7 recall and the concerns some have raised over Samsung's handling of the Note 7 debacle. The company has already confirmed that it's going to voluntarily replace all Galaxy Note 7 handsets and it has also been open about what caused this problem in the first place. Have you […]
It's increasingly being rumored these days that Samsung is only going to release an edge version of the Galaxy S8 next year. One might say that this is inevitable given that both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S7 saw the edge version outsell its flat counterpart by a significant margin. There were rumors this year that […]
If you've been following news from the technology industry recently, I'm sure you're aware of Apple's rumored decision to remove the traditional 3.5mm audio jack from its upcoming iPhone 7.

For the last three flagship launches, Samsung chose to stick with black, white, gold and silver color options, with an exclusive color or two thrown in for specific markets. These colors all look great on the phones' glass builds, but we'd be lying if we said we wouldn't have wanted a few other options as […]
The Galaxy Note 6 has been in the rumor mill quite a lot in recent weeks, and a recent rumor suggested Samsung is testing two variants of its next phablet flagship. One with a flat display, and another with a curved display. Basically, it looks like it could be a return to 2014, when Samsung […]
Undependable battery life was probably the only major issue with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, and despite Samsung's promise of better power management because of the efficient Exynos CPU and fast and wireless charging support, neither of the two devices scored high on endurance on a single charge. The Galaxy Note 5 and […]
The Galaxy Note 5 went official a bit earlier than each Note flagship does following its predecessor, but as many of us Note fans found out, Samsung has no plans to launch the phablet anywhere except the US, Canada and a couple of Asian markets. Many of those fans probably didn’t feel too bad, as […]
