The September security update is rolling out for the Galaxy S7 in Puerto Rico and Uruguay right now, with software version G930FXXS6ESIS in tow.

Galaxy Note 10 shipments set to eclipse the Galaxy Note 9

The Galaxy Note 10 will most likely outsell its predecessor, according to industry analysts cited by The Investor, who predict that the Galaxy Note 10 shipments will be up 11 percent compared to the Galaxy Note 9. This wouldn’t come as a huge surprise considering how Samsung sold twice as many Galaxy Note 10 models in its first month of availability. Analyst Lee Chang-min of KB Securities expects...

New evidence suggests Galaxy Home release may be around the corner

It has been over a year since Samsung first unveiled the Galaxy Home, its Bixby-powered smart speaker. It was unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note 9 in New York City. Samsung didn’t even mention the Galaxy Home during its Galaxy Note 10 event in August. We know that it hasn’t been discontinued and that Samsung still intends to release it. Some new evidence has surfaced which suggests that the company...

The Galaxy Tab S6 might be the greatest Android tablet of 2019 but there are still reasons to want and buy a Galaxy Tab S5e instead. For starters, it’s cheaper and offers a great bundle of features for the price. AT&T is going to start selling the Galaxy Tab S5e LTE to customers in the United States beginning September 27 for the price of $479, or in exchange of $16 a month for 30 months on an...

Report: Galaxy S11 camera to feature 5x optical zoom, 108MP camera

The Galaxy S11 could up the ante in the camera department by featuring 5x optical zoom capability. A report from Korean publication The Elec citing industry sources says that the Galaxy S11 would be the first Samsung phone to feature its 5x optical zoom camera module that it started mass producing earlier this year. It wouldn’t be the least bit surprising if that does end up happening, but reports from South Korea media are always good...

Exclusive: Is Samsung working on more affordable Galaxy Note smartphone?

Rather than combining the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note flagship lineups and replacing the Galaxy Note series with the Galaxy Fold lineups, could Samsung instead be working on a more affordable Galaxy Note smartphone that falls somewhere in the higher mid-range category? That’s perhaps the only possibility we can think of based on the latest information that we have uncovered: Samsung is developing a device with model number SM-N770F, one that doesn’t...

Samsung is not preparing only its current crop of flagship devices for the Android 10 upgrade. The Galaxy S9 lineup, too, is already being tested with firmware based on the latest version of the operating system.

Samsung Fortnite Glow skin confirmed, available September 27

It was expected that the Samsung Fortnite Glow skin will be unveiled in the near future and that’s precisely what the company has done today. Samsung has confirmed that it’s retiring the iKONIK skin, released with the Galaxy S10, on September 26. That doesn’t mean those who currently have the iKONIK skin will lose it after that date. They will continue to have it, it’s just that it will no longer...

Exclusive: Samsung’s next Galaxy Fold will be sold worldwide

Samsung’s first foldable smartphone has made quite the comeback. Despite the early troubles, it has come back stronger and is actually selling out in markets where it’s being sold. The Galaxy Fold won’t be the only foldable smartphone to come out of Samsung, though. It has been known for a while that the company is working on another foldable smartphone. From what we gather, this is going to be a slightly more affordable version, and we now hear...

I think the Galaxy Fold is a true ‘halo phone’ deserving of some slack

I’m less annoyed about the Galaxy Fold’s relatively fragile nature than I thought I would be, and for the past few days I kept asking myself “why?” As a commercially-available device, it deserves scrutiny and criticism, so what’s different about the Galaxy Fold that makes me feel like its lack of protection for the foldable screen – and the lack of dust and waterproofing – isn’t that big of a deal?...

Galaxy S11 fingerprint sensor might be more convenient to use

A report from the Korean media that seems to have flown under the radar has indicated that the Galaxy S11’s in-display fingerprint sensor would be more convenient to use thanks to a larger sensing area for detecting fingerprints. According to The Elec, the ‘Active Area Dimension’ (AAD) for the in-display fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S11 will measure 64 square millimeters while the Galaxy S10’s (and the Note 10’s) measures 36 square millimeters....

Galaxy A70s user manual reveals nothing of importance

The Galaxy A70s is getting ever closer to an official launch, as the user manual for the upcoming device has now been published online on Samsung’s website. Samsung has lumped the A70s with the Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A70 in a single manual, which is perhaps a good decision as the three devices look exactly the same and offer mostly the same software features as well. Oddly, the Galaxy A50s gets a separate...
