Galaxy Fold 5G for China is powered by the Snapdragon 855+

Samsung has launched the 5G variant of the Galaxy Fold as the W20 5G for Chinese carrier China Telecom, and it seems like in addition to an exclusive white paint job, the W20 5G is also the first Samsung phone with the Snapdragon 855+ chipset under the hood. The official product page for the W20 5G on Samsung’s website confirms as much, although the rest of the spec sheet of the device is the same as that of the Galaxy Fold for other markets (and...

Yet another Galaxy S10 Android 10 beta update released!

Samsung is on fire right now. The company has released the sixth Android 10 beta update for the Galaxy S10 series today, three days after it pushed out the fifth beta update, which came out three days after the fourth beta update.

Daily Deal: 27% off 3-pack screen protector for Galaxy Watch/Gear S2/Gear Sport

Can I get Disney Plus on my Samsung TV?

They will allow people to subscribe to the...

Galaxy Note 10 stable Android 10 release may be a few weeks away

The next Galaxy Note 10 One UI 2.0 beta update will be released after two weeks, according to one of Samsung’s community moderators.

It also suggests that Samsung may only be able to release Android 10 for the Galaxy S10 series in 2019, or at least make Note 10 owners wait until the very end of the year. Of course, this shouldn’t come...

Samsung may restart TV production in India with Dixon Technologies

Samsung had moved its TV production from India to Vietnam last year. It was manufacturing close to 300,000 TVs annually at a factory in Chennai. The move was the result of the government’s decision to slap an import duty on display panels for TVs. It started importing TVs made in Vietnam to cater to the Indian market.
