75% of Galaxy S fans want the Galaxy S23, here’s why!
The Exynos vs Snapdragon debate has been going on for a long time. Samsung's in-house chips have failed to match up to the standards set by Qualcomm in recent years. It got so bad three years back that Samsung apologized to customers and vowed to do better, and the result was the Galaxy S21 series' […]

Is copying Apple the only way for Samsung’s mobile business to survive?
It's a question that's been asked of Samsung many times. Apple did start a lengthy legal battle against the company because it felt this way. The apparent similarities between some of their products also gave rise to this sentiment in the market. For years, and one can certainly argue that it was incorrect, it was […]

I still can’t decide if I love Samsung’s curved or flat displays more
The Galaxy Note Edge was the first Samsung smartphone with a curved display. The Note Edge had the curve on one side of the screen and was well received by mostly everyone, so it was only natural for Samsung to double down on the concept. As a result, Samsung started putting curves on both the […]

Samsung should start using its premium audio brands for Galaxy phones
Samsung hasn't bothered with co-branding opportunities for its Galaxy phones. There are plenty of manufacturers who hop on the brand equity of a well-established partner to make their devices appear different. It was rumored for the longest time last year that the Galaxy S22 may feature an Olympus-branded camera setup. For those who are unaware, […]

Why Samsung makes the only Android tablets worth buying
Global tablet shipments haven't seen considerable growth since they hit their peak back in 2014. The shipments have registered a steep decline since then. Apple and Samsung are the two major players in the market. The iPad remains a popular device and its dominant position has so far gone unchallenged. While a lot of companies […]

Tablet updates are an area where Samsung’s efforts need work
Samsung has taken it upon itself to prove to the competition how to get better at the job of releasing new software updates, both major and minor, regularly over the last few years. Its latest efforts — those of releasing Android 13 and One UI 5.0 — are its best yet, with more than a […]

I’m astounded that my two-year-old Galaxy phone already runs Android 13
The last time I purchased a phone instead of using a review device sent over by Samsung was in 2020 when the Galaxy S20 series was launched. I have the 128GB variant of the Galaxy S20 Ultra, and recently, I started thinking about switching back to it as my primary phone, partly because I was […]

Tablets are boring and Samsung needs to do something about it
Tablets have long been presented to us as the ultimate laptop replacement. Almost all major manufacturers have tried their hand at them. Some continue to do so while others have decided that it was no longer worth the effort to make new tablets. It has since become abundantly clear that the idea that was sold […]

When it comes to software updates, Samsung never seems to take a nap
Being the largest manufacturer of Android phones, Samsung is expected to keep them updated with the latest software, and it certainly has the power to do so. At the same time, Samsung sells so many phones each year that it can be a mighty tough job to update them regularly no matter how many resources […]

Why you should be smart and buy the Galaxy Z Flip 4
Just a few years ago, the idea of a foldable phone replacing the true and tested ‘candy bar' design seemed like a pipe dream. Then came the first foldable phone — the original Galaxy Fold — and although countless smartphone users were intrigued by this paradigm shift, few were brave and wealthy enough to virtually […]

I switched to the lowest screen resolution on the Galaxy S22 Ultra… and nothing really felt different
Samsung made the switch to display panels with Quad HD resolution on its flagship phones almost a decade back, and a few years later, the company introduced the option to change the display resolution on flagship Galaxy phones. Almost every flagship Galaxy phone since the Galaxy Note 4 has featured a Quad HD+ display panel, […]

Why I believe Samsung should never release laptops with foldable displays
Samsung's foldable phones are revolutionary, even though the Korean tech giant appears to be the only OEM leading the revolution. They're fairly expensive to make, too, which is probably why not many OEMs are rushing in to become a part of this emerging segment early on, or at the very least, they exercise a lot […]

No Gaming Hub for Samsung’s Freestyle projector is a missed opportunity
Samsung's Gaming Hub service went live on Samsung TVs at the end of June, bringing access to dozens of high-quality video games via cloud technology. It sounds like the perfect service for a portable projector/TV such as The Freestyle, but unfortunately, Gaming Hub has a much more limited reach. The Gaming Hub is supported only […]

Irony dies as Apple exec calls Samsung ‘annoying’ for copying the iPhone
Samsung and Apple fought an almost decade-long legal battle as the Cupertino-based company alleged that the Korean giant had copied the iPhone. Various patent infringement claims were also made which Samsung responded to in kind with patent infringement lawsuits against Apple of its own. The main lawsuit made its way through the entire US justice […]

Even my Galaxy Tab S7 FE runs Samsung DeX better than my Galaxy S22+
The Galaxy Tab S7 FE lives in the shadow of the more powerful Galaxy Tab S8 flagship series, but I recently found the Fan Edition tablet at a significant Easter-themed discount, so I bought one. I didn’t get the chance to test it too much over the weekend, but there’s one thing I need to […]
