Exclusive: Full specs of the Galaxy Tab Active 3, Samsung’s new rugged tablet

We first reported a couple of months ago that Samsung has a new tablet in the pipeline and that it would be launched under its Galaxy Tab A brand. We also found out that it will have the same chipset as the Galaxy S9, the Exynos 9810. This meant that the tablet would be an entirely mid-range affair. More information about the device has trickled in since then and it’s safe to say that you won’t be buying it for the specs. The unique selling point...

There’s hope Exynos 1000 won’t be horrible compared to Snapdragon 875

You all know about the Exynos 990 vs Snapdragon 865 controversy by now. There was outrage and petitions, company executives being grilled by shareholders, and the Exynos team feeling humiliated that their product was skipped in favor of the Snapdragon for Galaxy S20 units destined for South Korea. Samsung has given up on trying to make its own custom cores. This was one of the reasons why there was...

AT&T’s Galaxy Tab S5e joins the rest of the world, gets Android 10 update

The Galaxy Tab S5e that was sold in the USA by AT&T is finally getting Android 10. The firmware update was originally released for the Galaxy Tab S5e in June and availability continued to expand to dozens of markets in subsequent weeks. US carriers are usually updating their devices later than the rest, and AT&T began rolling out Android 10 for the Galaxy Tab S5e this week. As they say, it’s better late than never. The latest firmware update...

Samsung’s The Wall does the impossible by making waves in Japan

As far as electronics are concerned, there aren’t many markets that Samsung traditionally struggled to penetrate, but Japan’s commercial display segment is certainly one of them. Or was one of them, up until recently. Earlier this week, Japan’s largest display solutions provider – NGC – released two new commercial variants of The Wall, Samsung’s most awe-inspiring MicroLED product to date. Carrying model numbers IW012J and IW016J, both displays...

Galaxy M01s and Galaxy M01 Core are now INR 500 cheaper in India

Samsung India has dropped the price of two of its budget devices, the Galaxy M01 Core and the Galaxy M01s, by INR 500 ($6.81). It’s not a huge discount and it might not persuade you to buy one of these two devices if you didn’t have a reason to do so already, but the two M-branded phones were already fairly affordable so an INR 500 discount is not insignificant in this context. Both the Galaxy M01...

If it’s got an Exynos 990, is it really a Galaxy S20 ‘Fan’ edition?

The best thing about the Galaxy S10 Lite, the device everyone thought had no reason to exist, was that it was powered by a Snapdragon chip worldwide. It wasn’t a full-blown flagship, but for anyone who wanted a high-end Galaxy phone with a Snapdragon 855, the Galaxy S10 Lite was the perfect choice. When the Galaxy S20 Fan Edition rumors started (we were the first to reveal that the device exists), it excited us that a Galaxy S10 Lite successor was...

Galaxy Z Flip 2 specs and features wishlist: Samsung take note!

For me, the Galaxy Z Flip was one of the most exciting phones Samsung released this year. I have long been a fan of the clamshell form factor and since it all but disappeared over the past decade, I was super excited to see that Samsung brought it back with a modern twist. As I mentioned in our Galaxy Z Flip review, the biggest compliment you could give the Galaxy Z Flip was that it didn’t feel like...

Galaxy S20 FE 5G leaks in real-life images, flat display confirmed

The Galaxy S20 Fan Edition is just days away from its official unveiling, and the leaks are out in full force. Topping off two months’ worth of early sightings are several real-life images of the Galaxy S20 FE 5G that just appeared on Twitter. The high-resolution photographs seen below confirm Samsung equipped its upcoming smartphone with a flat display. In effect, the Galaxy S20 FE 5G has noticeably thicker bezels, at least relative to the original...

PSA: Galaxy Z Fold 2 eSIM functionality will be enabled with an update

The Galaxy Z Fold 2 went on sale globally today, but some pre-order customers have been using it for a few days already. And many of them have been wondering: Where can they find the eSIM option on their new foldable? The Z Fold 2, like the Galaxy Fold, comes with one physical SIM slot and an embedded SIM, but as owners of the device have realized, the latter isn’t actually available for use. Well, we can confirm that eSIM functionality is indeed...

Galaxy A21s VIVA Trot Edition launches with free music

The Galaxy A21s VIVA Trot Edition is the name of the latest unconventional smartphone that Samsung is launching in its home country. Much like its name implies, this mid-ranger is specifically targeting aficionados of old-fashioned K-pop, which is the simplest (but not entirely accurate) way to describe trot as a genre. Priced at the equivalent of $275, the Galaxy A21s VIVA Trot Edition just made its debut in the Far Eastern country as an SK Telecom...

Samsung makes a case for Galaxy Z Fold 2’s productivity chops as work-from-home continues

The COVID-19 pandemic is still raging, and millions of new cases are being discovered every week. Amid this dangerous situation, most people are learning and working from their homes to stay safe. As expected, the screen times have shot up by a huge margin. In a survey conducted by Samsung, consumers have shown interest in smartphones that offer more productivity as they juggle between personal and...
