When Samsung first launched the Galaxy S6 edge with its dual-curve display, people were skeptical of the kind of utility those edges would provide, given the edges were much smaller than the single edge on the Galaxy Note Edge. Indeed, the Edge screen on the Galaxy S6 edge wasn't packed with functionality, but it's been […]
When Samsung decided to acquire Harman International, the parent company of popular audio companies like Harman Kardon and AKG, back in late 2016, we were excited for the kind of changes the newly onboarded talent would bring to the Korean giant's smartphones. Samsung first brought us the AKG-tuned earphones with the Galaxy S8, before its acquisition […]
The Galaxy S9 has polarized the Samsung faithful. Some rushed to pre-order Galaxy S9 as soon as it was possible while others (Galaxy S8 owners in particular) have been debating the need to spend north of $700 on a device that looks like the one from last year and offers features that may not be […]
Now that the official unveiling of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is over, it’s time to ponder over purchase related questions. Samsung has made choosing between the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ more difficult this time by equipping the plus variant with more RAM and a dual-camera setup at the back. So, the choice between […]
This year, there's noticeable difference between the smaller and larger versions of Samsung's new flagships as far as the specs and feature list are concerned. The Galaxy S9+ gets dual rear cameras and 6GB of RAM, two important features that the Galaxy S9 misses out on, making it much less of an upgrade over the […]
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 […]
Samsung's been awarding complimentary Gear VR headsets with pre-orders of its latest flagship smartphones in select regions for a while now, so chances are if you reside in the United States and own a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S8, you have one lying around somewhere. Or maybe you even purchased a unit. This got us […]
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 launched its DeX wired docking station earlier this year with the Galaxy S8. The accessory powers an Android-based desktop experience from a compatible device. The Galaxy Note 8 is compatible with Samsung DeX as well. Did the promise of a desktop experience make you purchase the DeX station? What we'd like to know is […]
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 […]
If your authentication method of choice on your Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ is face recognition, I'm sure you've been left feeling frustrated when it's too dark to recognize your face, forcing you to either enter a password or use the inconveniently-positioned fingerprint reader. This got us thinking… Why doesn't face recognition […]
