The Galaxy S10’s smoothness is unmatched by any previous Galaxy flagship

The Galaxy S10 is the smoothest yet of any Galaxy flagship as far as the general user interface is concerned. I’ve always been extra critical of Samsung’s inadequacy at optimizing its software compared to others here at SamMobile, but I’ve found fewer reasons to complain in the last couple of years. The Galaxy Note 9 was the most impressive of all Galaxy flagships in terms of everyday performance for me, until I switched to the Galaxy S10+. As I...

Samsung’s latest Notebook 9 laptops go on sale in the US on March 17

Though Samsung exited the PC market in many regions, it continues to launch a handful of Chrome OS and Windows laptops every year in select markets around the world. At this year’s CES, the company once again refreshed its Notebook 9 laptop lineup by announcing the Notebook 9 Pen (2019) and Notebook 9 Pro (2019) models. They are now set to go on sale in the US on March 17, the company said in a press...

No, the Galaxy Fold isn’t overpriced — in fact, it’s quite the opposite

Set to be priced at $1980 when it goes on sale in the United States on April 26, the Galaxy Fold is far from cheap. But it isn’t overpriced. Hear me out… The Galaxy Fold can be unfurled from its sedentary form as a smartphone to morph into a 7.3-inch tablet, making it an all-too-appealing two-in-one solution; customers receive both a smartphone and a tablet, bundled into one device — the first of its kind — eliminating the need to transport two. Basic...

Samsung on track for Galaxy Fold’s commercial release in late April

Samsung took years to make its first foldable phone and to make it public, but when it did unveil the Galaxy Fold at the Unpacked event in February, it also chose to reveal a price and release date while other manufacturers simply decided to show off prototypes at MWC a week later to steal Samsung’s thunder. And it looks like the company is right on schedule for the April 26th release date, as we have been able to get the first Galaxy Fold firmware...

The Galaxy S10’s Bixby Routines is my favorite Bixby feature

The Galaxy S10 lineup brings quite a few software tricks, and Bixby Routines is my favorite after having used both the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy S10e in the last three weeks. Routines is a feature that Samsung lifted from its Good Lock app and lets you automate various aspects of the device when certain conditions are met. It’s like the popular Tasker app for Android, only simpler to use. What is Bixby...

Galaxy M20 is now on open sale in India

When the Galaxy M20 launched in India last month, it was sold on a first come, first served basis, with customers who missed the first sale having to wait until it was restocked at a later date — a bit like what OnePlus did with the OnePlus One, but without the ticketing system. That’s now changed, though, as the handset is listed as in-stock on both Amazon and Samsung’s local website. The Galaxy M20 was designed to take on competition from Chinese...

The Galaxy A2 Core will be the first Galaxy A series Android Go phone, and the device is already listed in the support section of Samsung’s website. The render shows the date March 22 on the lock screen, so we can expect it to go official around that date. From the front, the Galaxy A2 Core looks pretty similar to the...
