Regular SamMobile readers are well aware that my boyfriend Danny is a Galaxy Fold super fan. I've spent a lot of time using the Galaxy Fold as well and while I appreciate it for what it is, it became too much of a hassle for me to live with it. As much as I wanted […]
With facial recognition failing to work with a mask on, unlocking my Galaxy S20 Ultra has become more of a hassle than I would like.
For the longest time, Samsung has been equipping its flagships with its in-house Exynos chipsets in most countries and selling the same devices with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon chip in select markets like the US and China. Having its in-house mobile processor was a major advantage for Samsung back in 2015. Qualcomm's flagship chip that year, […]
I've been using Galaxy devices since 2010, when Samsung launched the first Galaxy S. Android, and many Android apps, were an unoptimized mess in 2010, but the Samsung Internet browser stood out as one of the most polished apps back then. Samsung's browser app ran amazingly smooth thanks to its use of hardware acceleration (i.e.: […]
If there's one aspect of Samsung smartphones that has gone through too many changes too quickly, it has to be the fingerprint sensor. For years, Galaxy smartphones had a physical home button at the front. When the time arrived for Samsung to equip its phones with a fingerprint reader, the company did what everyone expected: […]
Is it possible Samsung is using consumers as the guinea pigs for its experiment of finding the perfect punch-hole display, or at least the perfect placement of display cutouts, while it works on true all-screen displays that have the selfie camera(s) under the screen? It sure seems like it to me as we inch closer […]
Many of you still remember the initial press reactions when Samsung first introduced its Galaxy Note series. Their verdict was that the phone was too big and that customers wouldn't want such a large display. However, the customers proved them wrong. The Galaxy Note series quickly became popular with Samsung delivering hit after hit in […]

Welcome to part three of our 10 years of Samsung Galaxy S flagship series, in which we here at SamMobile talk about our experiences and memories of each of the nine Galaxy S flagships that have come before the Galaxy S10. Today, we look back at the Galaxy S III. The Galaxy S III was the […]
Yes, this is yet another of those articles about Samsung's fingerprint sensor, although it's been a while since we had much reason to complain. But recently leaked renders of the Galaxy S10e that confirm a side-mounted sensor embedded in the power button have made me realize Samsung isn't done fixing its fingerprint sensor problem, at […]
This year, Samsung's going to spoil us for choice with its tenth anniversary Galaxy S flagship by launching three different models. Well, maybe spoil isn't the right term, since it will pretty much be the Galaxy S10+ that one will have to choose if they want the best of everything. From screen size through battery […]
I've asked this question to myself quite a few times already. Should I upgrade from the Galaxy Note 9 to the Galaxy S10? Based on what we know so far about the Galaxy S10 series – and we know quite a bit – it might make sense to take the plunge. Like many of you, I […]
I have no intention to jinx things for Samsung and for the millions of Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners who will soon download the official Android Pie update, but it looks like the company has managed to get a stable release out the door without bugs. The random reboots that plagued Android Oreo despite months […]
Samsung has been quite serious about bringing new camera features from its latest flagships to existing devices. AR Emoji, which debuted on the Galaxy S9, is now supported on the Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy A8 Star, and the Galaxy A7, just to name a few. It also made its way Samsung's budget lineup […]
