Samsung should have played a part in Google’s Android 12L for tablets

Samsung is the best Android tablet manufacturer around, but the sad reality is that, despite the powerful hardware, Android tablets lag massively behind Apple's iPads in market share. Google, Android developers, and hardware manufacturers don't seem to have cracked the tablet code entirely, but Android 12L could steer things in the right direction. Android 12L […]

Samsung’s attempt at a laptop replacement tablet feels insulting

“Laptop replacement” has become a buzzword that attempts to describe and market some of the most powerful tablets around. The term arguably gained popularity after Apple released the iPad Pro 12.9, and of course, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra falls in the same device category. Personally, I think having a tablet that can replace a […]

Samsung’s portable projector, The Freestyle, is so tempting!

Samsung's The Freestyle portable projector has been on my mind ever since the company unveiled it at CES 2022. I'm still considering buying one, and although I probably won't (for reasons I'll explain later), I'm still fighting the urge to order this small but versatile portable projector from Samsung. It's a portable TV that fits in […]

Living life with Samsung DeX exclusively, part 1: The journey begins

Samsung DeX is one of the most unique One UI features and arguably unparalleled in the world of Android apps that attempt to deliver a desktop-like experience on mobile. With the company announcing its first Ultra-branded tablet earlier this year, i.e., the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, the DeX platform is seemingly becoming more important than […]

Killing the Galaxy Note was Samsung’s brilliant plan to save Galaxy S series

The Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series have been a permanent fixture of Samsung's smartphone strategy for years. In the first half of the year, Samsung would launch new Galaxy S flagships. The Galaxy Note would come in the second half with almost similar specs but that didn't prevent people from loving this series. The […]

Samsung India’s Galaxy S22 launch event left a lot to be desired

Samsung finally unveiled the Indian pricing of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra via a live stream today. As a Samsung enthusiast based in India, I was looking forward to it for quite some time. However, the “event”, if one can even call it that, was one of the worst ones I've […]

Screw it, I’m skipping Unpacked 2022 because of Samsung

I don't know about you, but I'm not looking forward to Galaxy Unpacked 2022. Although I'm eager for the new flagship devices to go on sale, personally, I'm done with the charade that Unpacked 2022 has become over the past few weeks. It's a weird thing to say, I know, especially given my job and […]

One excellent Android 12 feature Samsung could have made even better

Samsung's Android skin has always looked drastically different from stock Android. Whether it's called TouchWiz or One UI, Samsung makes numerous changes to the look and feel of its software, while also allowing heavy customization via third-party themes. With Android 12, the story is no different. Google's admittedly beautiful Material You design language is mostly […]

In 2022, Samsung’s foldables will be water-resistant, but not its tablets

Water resistance is a feature that doesn't make the headlines often enough. Yet the two big players in the mobile field, Samsung and Apple, make it a point to include water and dust resistance in all their flagship phones, and some other manufacturers do so, as well. Samsung, of course, has been doing it a […]

How much does that cheap Galaxy S21 price actually cost us?

With the Galaxy S21, Samsung is releasing its cheapest full-fledged Android flagship in years. And despite some high-level operational (re)thinking that's going on at the moment in Seoul, Samsung verifiably doesn't want to be in the business of making less money than it previously did. Another certainty is that the global smartphone market is extremely saturated, […]

PSA: Samsung DeX is amazing and I have no idea when that happened

The current state of DeX is nothing short of miraculous, relative to how horrid version 1.0 was back in '17.

A Galaxy Note 20 FE would just be a slap in the face of Note 20 owners

Compare the Galaxy S20 FE vs Galaxy Note 20 and it's clear that the $300 premium you're paying for the latter is mostly just for the S Pen. It's no secret that the Galaxy Note 20 is basically its own “Lite” variant. Perhaps that's why we haven't heard anything about a Galaxy Note 20 Lite […]

Why Samsung’s three-year Android OS upgrade promise is a huge deal

Much has been said and written about Samsung's software upgrade policy over the years. Its customers have had to sit through lengthy phased rollouts and excruciatingly long waiting periods. Those who owned factory unlocked units in the United States would often have to wait for months after carrier-locked variants got new updates. It had all […]

Why Samsung shouldn’t listen to Google’s request for more control

It was reported earlier today that Google and Samsung are in negotiations over giving preference to Google's services on Galaxy devices at the expense of Samsung's own services. If reached, such a deal would result in Google Assistant being prioritized over Bixby, Play Store achieving more prominence over the Galaxy Store, and Google having more […]

Why I feel I will skip the Galaxy Note 20+/Ultra

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. […]
