Here’s how Samsung has improved selfies and portraits with Galaxy S21

Samsung had introduced various new camera features and hardware last year with the Galaxy S20 series, but there were some issues and inconsistencies. This year, the company has focused a lot more on refining the camera features with the Galaxy S21 series. The company has improved the autofocus performance as well as the quality of selfies and portrait shots. The company is trying to offer more natural...

OneDrive app update brings support for Samsung Motion Photos

Samsung and Microsoft have been collaborating over the past few years for various projects. Microsoft’s Your Phone app-related features almost always debut on Samsung phones, and the two companies recently announced Samsung Reminders sync with Microsoft To-Do. Microsoft has now announced that it is bringing Samsung Motion Photos playback capability to its OneDrive app. Samsung Motion Photos, short...

There’s a fix to Samsung shipping the Galaxy S21 with the wrong CSC

Galaxy S21 buyers in a few European countries haven’t had the smoothest setup experience with the new flagship, as Samsung Pay issues and problems with OTA updates have unexpectedly cropped up shortly after the phone got shipped to customers. The good news is that the problem isn’t widespread, it’s manageable by users, and Samsung is already addressing it through a firmware update. Samsung has apparently...

Reasons why Galaxy Note 9 users should buy or skip the Galaxy S21 Ultra

Samsung’s Galaxy S flagship series has never before crossed over into Galaxy Note territory as it did this year, and it’s all thanks to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Unlike in all the previous years, the new flagship is equipped with a display digitizer capable of recognizing S Pen inputs, and Samsung is selling optional S Pen accessories separately. But is the Galaxy S21 Ultra an actual Galaxy Note replacement?...

Galaxy F62 battery specs and pricing emerge before mid-February debut

Samsung’s unusual Galaxy F smartphone series is here to stay and a new model called the Galaxy F62 will be unveiled in India in just a couple of weeks, reveals the local media. The phone will reportedly go on sale for under INR 25,000 ($343), which sounds like great value for a device that’s expected to ship with a generous 7,000mAh battery and a flagship-grade Exynos chipset. The Galaxy F62 will reportedly hit the Indian market in mid-February,...

Samsung could learn a lot from Apple’s new mask-friendly Face ID update

Last year we discovered that Samsung’s facial recognition biometric authentication method doesn’t work that well in a pandemic where everyone has to wear a face mask. This gave us yet another reason to lament the removal of the iris scanner and we began hoping that Samsung would work its magic and somehow address this shortcoming. Many months have passed since but Samsung hasn’t really spent any energy on improving its facial recognition technology...

Hey Samsung, make flat displays mainstream or fix those accidental touches

Curved screens are no longer a constant across Samsung’s flagship smartphone lineups. The Galaxy S20 series was the last to have curved displays on all models; the Galaxy Note 20 had a flat screen, and the Galaxy S21 and S21+ that launched recently don’t have curved screens, either. And I would love to see those curves disappear from all of Samsung’s flagships, for one simple reason: The company can’t seem to fix the issue of accidental touches that...

Samsung should really use One UI to increase its brand loyalty

The custom software that Samsung ships with its phones has been overhauled many times over the past decade. It has been a bit of a learning experience for the company. Many found the earlier iterations to be too clunky and unnecessarily dense. Things have improved over the years, though, and we now have what’s perhaps the best version of Samsung’s custom software yet. Samsung completely revamped its custom Android skin with One UI. Introduced with...

This Galaxy A52 case might be more profitable than the phone itself

The Galaxy A52 leaks are out in full force by now, though that isn’t to say Samsung can no longer surprise us. Sure, its next mid-range smartphone happens to be all over the place lately. Not to mention that it’s all but confirmed to be debuting at quite a reasonable price, as well. Given the extreme competitiveness in this price range, Samsung likely won’t be collecting a sizable profit margin on the Galaxy A52. Yet the same can’t be said about...

Exynos 2100 beats SD888 in Galaxy S21 Ultra battery drain test

The Exynos 2100 version of the Galaxy S21 Ultra triumphed over its principally U.S.-bound counterpart in a new battery drain test. This achievement is nothing to scoff at, especially given how rigorous the testing methodology used for the comparison was. Performed by tech YouTube channel PBKreviews, this durability exhibition lasted for 30 minutes. During the observed period, the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 variants of the Galaxy S21 Ultra both...
