Why the Galaxy Note 7 mess excites me more about the Galaxy S8
Samsung had a great start to 2016 with the Galaxy S7. The existing flagship series is without a doubt a hit. It played a major role in turning the company's fortunes around and Samsung wanted to continue the momentum with the Galaxy Note 7. For all intents and purposes, the Galaxy Note 7 seemed like […]

The Galaxy S8 in 2017: a curved display of Samsung’s long-term panel investment
The Galaxy Note 7 has been announced, with curved edges intact, leading many to look ahead and wonder if the Galaxy S8 in 2017 will see the same treatment: the flat S8 tossed out, the Galaxy S8 edge hailed as the true S flagship. It's a question worth pondering, especially since tech is a field […]

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.

Is Samsung’s new love for FE just a cover for device spam?
Some of us have been covering Samsung long enough to remember that there was a time when the company would just spam the market with new devices across every segment. It seemed like there was a Galaxy series for almost every letter in the alphabet. That was Samsung's response to the new Chinese OEMs that […]

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Action Button is just a recycled Bixby key
Apple's iPhone 15 launch yesterday was interesting, to say the least. The biggest changes is that the company is finally giving up on its proprietary charging port and will now ship the new iPhones with a USB-C port. The company also made a hardware change by replacing the vintage ring/vibrate switch with a new Action […]

Take note, Samsung, this is how you sell a new tablet concept
At first glance, the new Google Pixel Tablet is just an 11-inch slate powered by Android and Google's AI-centric Tensor G2 chipset. And that certainly is the case, but it doesn't take long to realize that Google is trying to market the Pixel Tablet as more than that. Thanks to its included charging dock, it's […]

15 months in, Samsung Health is still missing from older Galaxy tablets
It's been fifteen months since Samsung Health became available for Galaxy tablets for the first time. Or, more specifically, it's been that long since Samsung Health debuted on the Galaxy Tab S8 series. Unfortunately, the company has yet to expand availability to older tablets, and I'm afraid it may never do so. Samsung will likely […]

Why Samsung can’t afford to let Apple rule the mini tablet market
There's no questioning the fact that Samsung makes the best Android tablets on the market. One can argue that Samsung is the only company that provides Android with a decent footing in the global tablet market. Out of the 162.8 million tablets shipped in 2022, Apple accounted for 38% with 61.8 million units of the […]

The emotional secret to Apple’s success: Can Samsung crack it?
Apple has been somewhat of a permanent fixture on Interbrand's Best Global Brands list. The overall brand perception for Apple is that it enables customers to connect, pay, play, and thrive. Even as Samsung's perceived brand value has increased significantly and it sits at the fifth spot on that list, it doesn't quite seem to […]

Samsung’s ridiculous tablet keyboard cover prices are hurting DeX
As much as I enjoy using numerous Samsung hardware and software products, one of the areas I very much dislike about the company's mobile business is how it markets keyboard cover accessories for Galaxy tablets. In short, I think Samsung's tablet keyboard cover accessories are ridiculously pricey. I've complained about this before, but now that […]

Xiaomi uses Harman’s brand better than Samsung, which owns it
We have team members at MWC 2023 in Barcelona as we speak, visiting booths hosted by Samsung and other brands. We just paid Xiaomi's booth a visit, where the company is showcasing the Mi Mix Fold 2 foldable phone — a rival to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 — among other devices. And we couldn't […]

Samsung needs to share its vision for Bixby if it wants users to care
Bixby is a feature that a lot of Samsung fans love to hate. It may have something to do with how Bixby was imposed, for lack of a better word, on users when it arrived with the Galaxy S8 back in 2017. The device featured a separate Bixby key that you couldn't use for anything […]

Only ChatGPT can stop Bixby from being such a waste of space
By the time Samsung jumped on the voice assistant train with Bixby, it was already too late. Apple's Siri and the Google Assistant had already been out for some time. Not only did it arrive late but Bixby was also evidently less capable of the lot. It was clear that Samsung's voice assistant tech had […]
