Samsung might be forced to allow European users to uninstall bloatware

Most smartphones these days come with bloatware in some form or the other, and users can’t uninstall those apps and services. Such apps not only take up additional storage space, but they are also used for marketing activities and push unnecessary notifications. However, smartphone OEMs might have to offer users an option to uninstall bloatware. According to a report from the Financial Times, the European Union is planning to pass an act that...

Galaxy Z Fold 2 vs LG Wing…? A friendly match between neighbors

We don’t often compare Galaxy smartphones with other brands but today we’re going to make an exception, for science, or more realistically for the purpose of history and entertainment. ‘History’ because the two devices in question carry the Samsung and LG brands, and ‘entertainment’ because there should be some inherent entertainment value in juxtaposing Samsung’s most powerful foldable to date, the...

This is the most infuriating thing about Samsung’s smartwatch updates

Samsung only recently realized that longer software support for Galaxy phones has been one of the biggest demands of its fans. At long last, Samsung announced that it will offer three generations of Android updates to its flagships along with some mid-range devices. However, as long-time users of Galaxy smartwatches will know, the updated, er, update policy for Galaxy phones and tablets still doesn’t match what Samsung’s smartwatches have already...

Samsung Galaxy M11 hits Europe, raising the entry-level quality bar

It certainly took a while, but Samsung finally brought the Galaxy M11 to Europe, with the smartphone officially arriving to the Old Continent earlier today. This release is a significant boost to Samsung’s entry-level portfolio in the region as the Galaxy M11 does a pretty decent job of punching well above its modest price tag. Speaking of which, the smartphone will retail at €159 in the Netherlands and most other EU state members. Minor pricing...

Galaxy S21 Ultra battery capacity pretty much confirmed in second leak

The battery capacity of the Galaxy S21 Ultra seems to be as good as confirmed, as suggested by yet another highly credible leak on the matter. Well, an early product certificate, to be more precise; one coming out of China, i.e. Chinese telecom authority 3C. The documentation concerns a battery carrying model number EB-BG998ABY. Which is a pretty unambiguous reference to the SM-998, previously identified...

Google Photos can’t save Samsung’s Motion photos properly anymore

Samsung introduced its Motion photos feature back in 2016. The feature captures a few seconds of video before the shutter button is tapped to take a photo. This lets you save that moment in moving form and choose the exact moment you want to save as the still frame. The company quietly improved this feature with One UI 2.5. Samsung’s Motion photos now capture both video and audio, as opposed to only video in the past. You might want to take note...

Samsung Pay: Supported banks in Germany

Samsung Pay has been around for a few years now and while it’s available in many markets across Europe, Germany was always missing from the list. The company may have faced an uphill battle trying to get local banks to partner with it for the mobile payments service. That’s why Samsung took a slightly different approach in order to bring Samsung Pay to Germany. Samsung usually partners with individual banks in every country to launch its mobile payments...

These free trials are usually offered with new smartphone/tablet purchases or pre-orders and are available globally, but the company announced a different promotion recently that concerns...

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE hands-on: Hard to resist for the price

Samsung is redrawing the lines that separate flagship smartphones from the rest of the pack. While the Galaxy S10 Lite may have been viewed as a toned-down version of the Galaxy S10, it has positioned the Galaxy S20 FE as a flagship in its own right. Then again, the Galaxy S20 FE has a lot more similarities with the other devices in the S20 family. The company has a very specific demographic...

The Galaxy S20 FE can be yours for $0 with this Best Buy deal

If you’re in the market for a new Galaxy S20 FE then you might want to look into Best Buy’s latest deal involving the Sprint/T-Mobile variant. The retailer is offering Sprint/T-Mobile’s Galaxy S20 FE for virtually $0. The phone would normally set you back $29.17 a month for 24 months for a total of $700. However, the carrier is now offering that monthly fee back to customers in the form of bill credit for 24 months, effectively bringing the phone’s...

[Poll]Would you prefer a flat screen on your next Galaxy flagship?

It’s been over six years since Samsung’s engineering awed the world by bending a modern capacitive touchscreen, which looked pretty cool next to a bunch of boring old flat screens. And yet flat screens ended up being much more timeless than their arching counterparts. Ever since that seminal Galaxy Note Edge, Samsung has essentially been reverting on that design direction. That anti-trend has actually been so consistent that it’s pretty amazing curved...

Galaxy S20 Fan Edition’s reason to exist may not be what you think

The one and only reason why the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition is happening is that the original three models from the series sold poorly. That’s according to a new report out of South Korea which today delivered multiple insider perspectives on the current state of the global smartphone market. And the industry consensus regarding the latest Galaxy flagship is that Samsung would not have bothered with repackaging the Galaxy S20 if the original series was...

Latest Good Lock modules will add personality to your shares and… keystrokes?

Samsung today announced no fewer than four Good Lock modules (well, three plus one major revamp), but the company is also no match to our speed of reporting, so you may have already known about two of those for several weeks by now. Those would be custom live wallpaper creator Wonderland and Pentastic, a service service for S Pen Air Command customization. Additionally, the company now also unveiled...
