So there I was, walking down the streets in what is one of the poshest parts of my city, when I noticed a procession of hot cars (with some insane exhaust notes) making their way through traffic. Those cars were a bit far away, so I start jogging towards them so I could record a video on my Galaxy S10+. I opened the camera app as I got closer, quickly switched to the video recording mode, and aimed it at the cars. Once I was done, I looked at...

Exclusive: Galaxy Note 10 model numbers reveal different variants

There’s a lot of anticipation now for the Galaxy Note 10. A lot of the improvements that were introduced with the Galaxy S10 will definitely be carried over to Samsung’s second flagship smartphone of the year.

It’s still unlikely the Galaxy S7 will be treated to Android 9.0 Pie

No, it still doesn’t look like the Galaxy S7 will receive Android 9.0 — even though the handset was seemingly certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance running the firmware on Thursday.
