We’ve been able to confirm that Samsung’s next smartwatch will have a virtual bezel instead of the physical rotating bezel we’ve been seeing on the company’s smartwatches since the Gear S2 (which launched back in 2015). The Galaxy Watch Active 2 will have what Samsung calls Touch Bezel (it could also be called Digital Bezel), allowing users to swipe around on the edges of the screen to navigate through the user interface. We didn’t see a virtual...

These are the reasons why you may prefer the Galaxy Note 10+ over the Note 10

Ever since Samsung started making multiple models of its flagship smartphones, customers have opted for the one with the larger display. It has always been slightly more expensive yet the larger models tend to draw in the more customers. That might very well be the case with the Galaxy Note 10+ as well.

It has been purpose-built...

Samsung’s 64 MP camera sensor not coming to Galaxy phones this year?

Smartphone cameras have come a long way and have turned into a major point of differentiation among different phones in the market.
