Galaxy S9 Snapdragon 845 performance can’t really be quantified by new benchmark results

For years, Qualcomm's flagship chip has powered almost all high-end Android smartphones and that will be the case throughout 2018 as well. The company announced the Snapdragon 845 processor last year and the Galaxy S9 is going to be the first device to use it. Samsung will only ship the Galaxy S9 with Qualcomm's chip […]

After using the Galaxy S8 for five months, this is my only complaint

I’ve been using the Galaxy S8 ever since it hit the shelves back in April. During that time, I’ve learned an awful lot about the device—both good and bad—so I thought I’d put together a piece describing my experience. Before we go any further, I’d like to say that I’m totally obsessed with the design […]

Three months on, here are my favorite Galaxy S8+ features

I’ve used every flagship Samsung smartphone that has released over the past three years, including the Galaxy S5. Earlier, I had also used the Nexus S, Galaxy S2, and the Galaxy Nexus as my primary devices. Now, I’ve switched from last year’s Galaxy S7 edge to the Galaxy S8+. My colleagues Josh and Adnan have already […]

[Poll Results!] Why I’m happy Samsung ditched physical navigation keys on the Galaxy S8

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of months, I'm sure you're aware that Samsung opted for a set of on-screen navigation keys for the Galaxy S8 — and I'm especially pleased with its decision, because I was never really a fan of the physical Home button arrangement on its former […]

Five Galaxy S8 features that have made my life easier

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ offer countless new features to help you get the most out of your smartphone. We all use our handsets differently, and the features that appeal to me may not be as appealing to you. That's just the way these things work. That being said, I thought I would share […]

Keep your color grudges aside when deciding what Galaxy S8 or S8+ color to go for

We published a poll yesterday asking our readers what Galaxy S8 or S8+ color option they have opted for, and following one of the comments on that poll, I thought I should point out a very important factor for anyone looking to pick either of Samsung's new flagships in the coming days. This is advice […]

Forgive us if we’ve been extra critical of the Galaxy S8 and S8+

It's something I've meant to write about for a few days, and I finally got around to penning down my thoughts on why we here at SamMobile might be more skeptical and critical of the new Galaxy S8 and S8+, and of Samsung devices in general. Well, to be honest, the reason is simple: We're a […]

Samsung’s aim for perfection seems to have gotten weak with the Galaxy S8

The Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 had something in common: They were the most perfect smartphones Samsung had created for their time (not counting the Note 7's battery drama), after years of letting us down with something or the other. They were particularly impressive after the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. Samsung, […]

With the Galaxy S8, Samsung says goodbye to smaller screens

Six months ago, I wrote a post about the Galaxy S7 edge and the Galaxy Note 7 being more alike than ever, that it’s a good thing, and that Samsung had reasons for unifying both the S and Note series in its large “Galaxy.” I also said in that same column that Samsung has been […]

Samsung’s mobile boss was uncharacteristically confident during the Galaxy S8 event and that’s a good thing

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ at an event in New York City last night. As is the case with the company's keynotes, it was opened by the chief of its mobile business, Dong-jin Koh. Koh took over the reins of the mobile business from J.K. Shin back in December 2015. Having […]

Good on Samsung for using black on the front of every Galaxy S8 color variant

Nothing is confirmed at this point, but it certainly looks like the Galaxy S8 will be offered in at least one new color option we haven't seen on Samsung's smartphone lineup (not recently, at least). Whether this color is a shade of grey or violet (or a mix of both) remains to be seen, but […]

The Galaxy S8 Active and Gear VR support: It’s time to give the people what they want

The Galaxy S Active series has been something of an abandoned stepchild for Samsung: the company puts its efforts behind making the smartphone, but limits its availability and capabilities. For one, Samsung has made this a mostly-AT&T-exclusive series in the US since its inception, which seems rather out of step with a company that can […]

A refurbished Galaxy Note 7 with a measly 3,200 mAh battery makes no sense

That's right. Unless you want to be stuck with a portable charger all day long or become one of those fabled “wall huggers,” a refurbished Galaxy Note 7 with a 3,200 mAh battery makes no sense. We've heard rumors of Samsung wanting to sell refurbished Galaxy Note 7 units ever since disaster struck (the second […]

Maybe we should lower our expectations for the Galaxy S8

With the Galaxy S8, Samsung's biggest task is reminding consumers that its smartphones are still safe to use, that the battery issues that plagued the Galaxy Note 7 and made it prone to burning up are something that will never be repeated. Samsung has revealed its plans to perform extra testing on the Galaxy S8 […]

Roses are red, smartphones are blue: Galaxy Note 7 Blue Coral color option gets a heavily-inspired admirer

Xiaomi announced its Mi Note 2 back at the end of October 2016, and the phone bears more than just a coincidental resemblance to the Galaxy Note 7. The Mi Note 2 features a 5.7-inch, curved OLED display (rather identical to the Galaxy Note 7's 5.7-inch, curved AMOLED panel), quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 (to the […]
