Galaxy Note 10 won’t have the new Snapdragon 855 Plus under the hood

According to the folks over at WinFuture, the Galaxy Note 10’s Snapdragon variant for markets like the US and China will be powered by the same Snapdragon 855 SoC that powers the Galaxy S10 lineup, not the Snapdragon 855 Plus that Qualcomm unveiled earlier this week. Like so many Galaxy Note 10 rumors and details that have surfaced online, this new bit of information doesn’t come as a big surprise, and there are a couple of reasons for that. First...

Samsung Galaxy Fit review: A well rounded $100 fitness band

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Fit e. It’s the most inexpensive fitness band that Samsung currently has on the market. But while the Fit e certainly offers good bang for the buck, the low price means it’s a little light on the number of features. Fortunately, Samsung has more on the menu, and that’s where the Galaxy Fit comes in. It’s the more feature-packed sibling of the Fit e, and...

Of course the Galaxy S11 will bring significant camera improvements, Captain Obvious!

An oft-cited China-based leaker is playing Captain Obvious today, it appears, by saying that there will be a “new beginning” for the camera on Samsung’s flagships with the Galaxy S11. He also goes on to say that the Galaxy Note 10 will use the same primary camera module as the Galaxy S10 but with a new “technical feature.” None of this is news. For years, the camera module that has been introduced with a Galaxy S flagship earlier in the year trickles...

Galaxy Note 10 reappears on Geekbench with the right chipset and RAM

The Exynos-powered Galaxy Note 10 variant has popped up on Geekbench. This isn’t the first time for the model number SM-N970F to be spotted in the benchmark’s database, but it is the first time when the device has been identified as having 8GB of RAM and the appropriate Exynos 9825 chipset.

July 2019 security update out for the Galaxy Note 8

Look sharp, Galaxy Note 8 owners in Germany, Samsung has just begun rolling out the July security update for your device. Samsung has already released the latest security update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Note 9, and the Note 8 is joining the party this week.

Are we the guinea pigs for Samsung’s punch-hole display experiment?

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 to the Galaxy Note 10’s launch, and I’m not sure I can pinpoint why. Well, okay, I can point out why I feel like that: That centered...

Exclusive: Android Q will bring One UI 2.0, Galaxy S11 will get One UI 2.1

Samsung’s Android Q release for Galaxy smartphones will bring version 2.0 of the company’s One UI skin while the Galaxy S11 will debut with One 2.1. We’ve confirmed this with our sources, although we won’t say we were too surprised to find out that the next major Android OS upgrade will also bring a One UI upgrade. One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy S11 also makes sense if we consider the fact that One UI 1.0 debuted with Android Pie and was followed by One...
