It has been nearly two weeks since the Galaxy S9 One UI (Android Pie) beta program has been live in South Korea, Germany, and the US. Samsung doesn't seem to be in a hurry to expand the beta program to more countries, which is slightly worrying given the company has said the final Pie update […]
Samsung's the only mainstream Android smartphone manufacturer that still hasn't gotten rid of the headphone jack from its phones.

The Galaxy Note 9 is perhaps the most complete flagship smartphone Samsung has launched yet. It's expensive, sure, but it also brings a lot to the table to justify the $1,000 price tag. The Galaxy Tab S4, meanwhile, is a good tablet, but its price is just too high for it to be an easy […]
Samsung's behavior can sometimes be polarizing for its fans.
