The eyes have it: is the Galaxy S8 fingerprint sensor designed with discomfort in mind?
Back when Samsung announced the new iris scanner in the Galaxy Note 7, the Korean giant said it had been working on it for 5 years straight. We'd seen very little information about the iris scanner, so the company's announcement was a pleasant surprise. What Samsung does to one high-end Galaxy S phone, however, often finds […]

Black Sapphire and Crimson Red color options for the Galaxy S8 would add more color splashes to the Galaxy
Samsung's “Galaxy” is expanding, as can be seen by the sheer number of devices Samsung manufactures annually, the cross-platform compatibility of its devices with other platforms such as iOS and Windows Mobile, as well as the birth of Samsung's very own Tizen OS. And, with each new high-end “Galaxy,” Samsung is known for bringing new […]

Déjà vu: the Galaxy S8 with an S Pen accessory is nothing new
The Galaxy S8 will have an S Pen accessory, or a stylus accessory of some kind as an external writing instrument. And it is interesting that this report about the S Pen leaked at the same exact time that critics were playing up fears that Samsung would do away with the Galaxy Note line and brand. […]

This Galaxy Note competitor in 2017 is one company’s high tech comeback
The Galaxy Note 7 arrival and quick recall has had some doubting Samsung's Galaxy Note brand and Samsung in general. Critics have said that the Galaxy Note brand was “so damaged beyond repair” that there's no way Samsung could ever resurrect and revive it. And yet, the results show that the Note faithful are as faithful as […]

A budget-friendly Galaxy Note would bring needed functionality to the low-cost experience
I am a true believer that “you get what you pay for,” so I'm not one to cater to the budget-friendly crowd. No, I don't think that budget-friendly devices will one day take over the world and make us all wake up and realize that our $800 Galaxy S7 edge is too high a price […]

Samsung shouldn’t get rid of the Galaxy Note lineup just yet
Let's be honest. The Galaxy Note 7 was an absolute disaster for the company. Before the big release, the Note 7 was one of the most anticipated handsets of 2016. However, things went downhill pretty fast for Samsung. Following initial reports of overheating plus the subsequent recall and the arrival of the so called “safe units”, the […]

Why the Galaxy S8 could be a game changer for Samsung
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has changed the way that we look at the company's products. The manufacturer has been under fire continuously since September over the Note 7, and the only ray of hope has been the anticipation of the Galaxy S8. There was talk that the handset will be released by January 2017 instead […]

Pimp My Pixel: reflect your Galaxy Note 7 rebel pride with Google’s Live Photos Case
I've done a VR hardware comparison between the Samsung Gear VR and the Google Daydream View this week, primarily because, as a pre-order customer for the Pixel XL, I received the Daydream View headset (an $80 value) for free. I do love pre-order promos. And yet, I remember thinking to myself one night that, for all the appreciation I […]

Samsung plays it safe with $8 billion acquisition of Harman and that might substantially pay off in the long run
Samsung Electronics – the veritable cash cow of the Samsung Group conglomerate – announced late last year that it's setting up a new team which will be dedicated to growing its automotive-related business. The team has also been tasked with focusing on technologies like autonomous driving, something which countless technology companies and conventional car manufacturers […]

Galaxy Note 7 users are buying the Galaxy S7; now it’s time for Android Nougat
The number “7” has been said to be a number of completion, a number of perfection, a “lucky” number (hence Samsung's Project Lucky that brought us the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge this past March 11th), but unfortunately, the Korean giant ran into a disaster with the Galaxy Note 7. For users who felt a strong connection […]

Still holding on to a Galaxy Note 7? It’s just not worth it anymore
The Galaxy Note 7 could have done so much for Samsung. The ill-fated flagship had a lot of potential. When the handset was unveiled in August this year many suggested that it would turn out to be Samsung's best-selling smartphone and would carry the impressive sales momentum set by the Galaxy S7 series. It all went […]

LG has shamelessly copied this Galaxy Note 5 debut feature – and kept the name, too
LG doesn't have a good track record when it comes to being in Samsung's shadow. The company claims that its phones are terrific, but if you've seen the latest G5, which takes Google's Project Ara and tries to consumerize it (though unsuccessfully), you understand that when LG copies a company or “borrows” an idea, it […]

Lessons learned: the Galaxy Note 7 recall, Note rebranding, and a 2017 Samsung comeback
The Galaxy Note 7 has been recalled – again. I feel like this sentence permeates nearly every journalism piece I've read on the Web about the matter. And yet, it's a fact. The event itself is tragic, for innocent victims of exploding Note 7s as well as Samsung, the world's largest smartphone manufacturer who, prior to the recalls, […]

The next best thing: what you can expect to keep (and give up) in the Galaxy Note 7 to Galaxy S7 transition
I wrote a column some time ago on the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 being more alike than ever, a column that was designed to challenge Note faithful on how they perceive the Galaxy S series in general. Sure, the Galaxy Note 7 has an S Pen that you won't find in the Galaxy […]

The Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 are more alike than ever: Samsung’s daring move makes perfect sense
The Galaxy Note 7 unveiling last month brought us a device that, as Samsung says, “was inspired by the Galaxy S7 edge” in reference to its dual-edge display. While Samsung referenced the display and its dual curves in making the statement, some consumers believe that more than just the dual-edge display was “borrowed” from the Galaxy […]
