One of the perks of having a job that involves writing about phones is being able to frequently use new devices as soon as they launch. And, as far as working at SamMobile is concerned, that means the privilege of using a new Samsung flagship every six months, even if it's on a temporary basis. […]
Regular SamMobile readers are well aware that my boyfriend Danny is a Galaxy Fold super fan. I've spent a lot of time using the Galaxy Fold as well and while I appreciate it for what it is, it became too much of a hassle for me to live with it. As much as I wanted […]
If there's one aspect of Samsung smartphones that has gone through too many changes too quickly, it has to be the fingerprint sensor.

This year, Samsung's going to spoil us for choice with its tenth anniversary Galaxy S flagship by launching three different models. Well, maybe spoil isn't the right term, since it will pretty much be the Galaxy S10+ that one will have to choose if they want the best of everything. From screen size through battery […]
I've asked this question to myself quite a few times already. Should I upgrade from the Galaxy Note 9 to the Galaxy S10? Based on what we know so far about the Galaxy S10 series – and we know quite a bit – it might make sense to take the plunge. Like many of you, I […]
I have no intention to jinx things for Samsung and for the millions of Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners who will soon download the official Android Pie update, but it looks like the company has managed to get a stable release out the door without bugs.
