[Poll] Were you hoping to see an S Pen on the Galaxy Fold?

Unfurled, the Galaxy Fold has a massive 7.3-inch AMOLED screen, which is the ideal surface for an S Pen. But Samsung decided against bundling one with the handset. In fact, there’s no hardware or software on board that would allow it to work, even if you snagged a replacement S Pen from the firm’s website for $29.99 — and that’s something that’s frustrating fans all over the world. With that in mind, we’d love to know whether you were hoping...

GPS accuracy issues on your Galaxy S10? Here’s a way to fix it

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is armed with a number of different utilities it can use to determine the handset’s geographical location.

The Galaxy Fold is very close to making its way into the hands of the lucky folks who have been able to pre-order one before Samsung’s limited reservation spots for the device ran out.
