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 […]
The Galaxy S6 was the beginning of a new era for Samsung's flagship smartphones. Samsung demonstrated with the handset that it was also capable of making smartphones with striking designs and impeccable build quality. It was a complete departure from the kind of design language that Samsung used for all previous flagship smartphones. Samsung pushed the […]
I firmly believe that the Galaxy S6 edge+ is one of Samsung's best smartphones to date. It's the last handset I remember being genuinely excited about. For some reason, the Galaxy S7 didn't cut it for me, so I decided to make the jump from Android to iOS and pick up an iPhone 6s, followed […]
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ have big screens, but the fact that neither is proportionately big in overall size has already been beaten to death. But while those used to phones with 5.5-inch and larger displays will not be too fazed by the 6.2-inch display on the Galaxy S8+, folks who prefer 5-inch screens […]
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 […]
Smartwatches have their share of buyers, though they've not had the same appeal as fitness bands on the market. And, their lack of large sales numbers has meant for many analysts that smartwatches aren't an explosive market for manufacturers nowadays, that the category itself is a disappointment – and that some manufacturers should take their money […]
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. […]
There are admirers, those who respect the work you do and draw inspiration from it, and admirers, those who not only respect your work but see how close they can come to replicating it. In the last few weeks, I've called to mind the Oukitel U15S that takes Samsung's Scroll Capture and pushes the feature even further (letting […]
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 […]
What's in a box? Not much. Usually, when smartphone lovers open a new box that contains a new smartphone, they toss the box first without thinking about it. Phone unboxings show tech reviewers tossing the box in one direction, the manual in the other, with their eyes set on the metal, plastic, metal-and-glass, or other […]
Usually, when one discusses breaking and settings records, it's done with the assumption that the item, product, and even person (in the case of sports records, for example) exists. Some would say that the Galaxy Note 7 doesn't exist yet, but this claim would come from a very naïve perspective that doesn't consider that phones can only have […]
Every tech company with an app store likes to believe its mobile headquarters is safe from foreign invaders, but that's not the case. Too often, the most reputable app stores contain malware (Google Play) or apps that violate the company's own approval policies. Apps slip through the cracks often, but the issue is not whether […]
These devices are incredibly powerful, but they also require a lot of power. We know battery life is a big deal; that's why we say our phone is ‘about to die.' I mean, that's how grim it feels. With these devices, we've broken new ground: we engineered batteries that were incredibly large in terms of […]
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge have given Samsung the mobile crown the company is due, but Samsung’s winner-take-all year isn’t quite over just yet. You see, above the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge is one phone that rules them all, one phone that has the kind of functionality that diehard Samsung fans crave. That one […]
Samsung has never been one to sit back and wait for certain trends to manifest before endorsing them. Take the edge, for instance: it’s a unique design language that wasn’t even spoken of in the tech world before Samsung’s Galaxy S6 edge. All of a sudden, the edge is now “the new flat,” with even […]
