Samsung TV Plus adds CBSN to its growing 70+ TV channel portfolio

The Samsung TV Plus service seems to be constantly expanding, which was bound to happen given how the platform is available on virtually any Samsung smart TV released since 2016.

Samsung has just announced that CBSN is joining the existing portfolio of 70+ TV channels currently available on the platform. CBSN is a free...

Galaxy A70 headed to the US, could first launch on Verizon

While Samsung has plans for the Galaxy A series mapped out beyond 2020, the company hasn’t been very quick with bringing the 2019 Galaxy A smartphones to the US. That’s not surprising, as the mid-range Galaxy A lineup had stayed away from North American shores until last year. This year, Samsung brought a handful of 2019 A series phones to consumers in the US and Canada. Now, it looks like the Galaxy...

Daily Deal: 67% off 2-pack Samsung EVO+ 256GB microSD card with adapter

Your smartphone comes with limited storage capacity. Many folks listen to music or watch a TV show while commuting; some also take plenty of photos and don’t want to depend on online services for storing them once they run out of space on their phone’s internal storage. Thankfully, microSD slots are still quite common on smartphones, and that makes storage expansion quite easy. microSD cards also come in handy in other devices, like a DSLR, and currently,...

No Galaxy A90s is coming to market, even though its battery has been certified

The battery that should have been used on a Samsung device with model number SM-A907F has recently been certified in South Korea. The SM-A907F would be the Galaxy A90s, but we can confirm that the device isn’t actually coming to market. We had exclusively revealed the existence of the SM-A907F around six months ago, but Samsung ended up launching the Galaxy A90 5G instead, and development on the Galaxy A90s ceased soon after the device first popped...

[Poll Results!] Will you participate in Galaxy S10 or Note 10 One UI 2.0 beta program?

There’s been plenty of confusion over the One UI 2.0 beta program for the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy Note 10. Samsung hasn’t been able to stick to schedule and has delayed the release of both the Galaxy S10 Android 10 beta and the Galaxy Note 10 beta. Of course, in the company’s defense, it never really said anything concrete about when the Galaxy Note 10 beta program would start. Sure, its customer care...
