If the Galaxy Z Flip 2 doesn’t have these features, I don’t want it!

I’ve been a fan of the Galaxy Z Flip since day one. Going hands-on with it for the first time at Samsung’s event in February last year was an experience I’m not going to forget. The Galaxy Z Flip completely exceeded my expectations. As you can probably tell, I’m quite excited for Samsung’s next clamshell foldable smartphone. It’s probably going to launch as the Galaxy Z Flip 2. Samsung is definitely going to make some improvements but there are some...

S Pen feature update is coming to the Galaxy Tab S7 series this month

The Galaxy Tab S7 series was updated to One UI 3.1 last month but Samsung hasn’t stopped working on developing new features for its flagship tablet duo. In fact, the company is now getting ready to release a follow-up firmware update for the Galaxy Tab S7 series; one that will introduce a handful of new S Pen features which will likely be appreciated by productivity-oriented users. The update will...

Samsung Galaxy F62 review: Another knockout mid-range Galaxy smartphone

The Galaxy F series debuted last year with the Galaxy F41, which felt like a completely unnecessary phone seemingly launched only to make one Indian retailer (Flipkart) happy. The Galaxy F41 is essentially a Galaxy M31 with one less camera and slightly different colors, and there is zero reason for it to exist from a customer standpoint. The new Galaxy F62, meanwhile, is very similar to the excellent...

Samsung’s doubling down on Galaxy Tab Lite tablets with A7 and S7 Lite

Last month we came across evidence suggesting that Samsung is developing a new tablet which could be introduced as the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite. It turns out that this might not be the only new Lite-branded tablet in the works, as a so-called Galaxy Tab A7 Lite could also be planned for release later this year. Both the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite and the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite were spotted in a couple of renders...

Galaxy Book Pro, Galaxy Book Go specifications leak ahead of launch

We had exclusively reported specifications of the Galaxy Book Pro a couple of days ago. The upcoming laptop features an OLED screen, and it will be available in 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch screen size versions. We had also revealed that the Galaxy Book Pro would feature Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs and have Wi-Fi only and LTE variants. Now, more detailed specs of the laptop have been revealed alongside the Galaxy Book Go specifications. According to...

Buying the Galaxy F62 over the Galaxy M51 makes too much sense

Samsung’s latest F-branded Galaxy phone called the Galaxy F62 was announced earlier this week and is now being readied for release in India. It’s an intriguing new entry to Samsung’s portfolio because it fits in the mid-range market while boasting a flagship-grade chipset. Aside from the different SoC, however, the Galaxy F62 is extremely similar to the Galaxy M51, the latter of which was released...

PSA: One UI 3.1 update doesn’t include Google Discover

It would appear Samsung’s adoption of Google Discover is more limited than some might have hoped. We can confirm that any phone not shipping with One UI 3.1 won’t get the feature with the One UI 3.1 update (which started rolling out today for multiple Galaxy phones). The functionality is hence still exclusive to devices like the Galaxy S21 range and the Galaxy A32 5G. In the meantime, Samsung Free remains the only native home screen news feed integration...

Is Samsung aggressively killing backgrounds apps on Android 11?

Samsung has done a pretty amazing job in rolling out the Android 11-based One UI 3.x update to its smartphones and tablets. The new version of One UI brings various design improvements and new features to the devices. However, it might also be aggressively killing background apps on Galaxy devices. The DontKillMyApp website, which lists brands that aggressively kill background apps on Android smartphones, has ranked Samsung at the top. The company...

Samsung creates opportunity out of pandemic, launches self-service kiosks in South Korea

Samsung is the world’s biggest electronics brand, and it clearly knows how to create an opportunity out of a crisis. Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic forced a change in consumer behavior, the company started launching products that help users in maintaining hygiene and staying safe from the virus. After launching a UV-based smartphone sterilizer last year, the company has launched a self-service kiosk...

[Poll results!] At what price would the Galaxy Z Fold Lite make sense to you?

It has been rumored quite a few times that Samsung might launch a budget variant of the Galaxy Z Fold. The term “budget” wouldn’t really be appropriate for the device, though. Even if the device doesn’t offer flagship-level specs, components like the foldable display are still expensive. So a Galaxy Z Fold Lite could be considered “budget” relative to the $2000 Galaxy Z Fold 2, but not quite as budget as a Galaxy A42, for example. If Samsung does...

Galaxy Z Flip, Z Flip 5G, and Z Fold 2 start receiving One UI 3.1 update

Early today, Samsung had announced that it would release the One UI 3.1 update to various high-end and mid-range smartphones. And it looks like the company was serious when it said that all those devices would start getting the update today. After releasing the One UI 3.1 update to the Galaxy S20 series and the Galaxy Note 20 series a few hours ago, Samsung has released it for its foldable smartphones. The...

Opinion: Samsung lacks motivation to seriously take on Qualcomm

There’s no doubt that the Exynos 2100 represents a massive step in the right direction for Samsung’s high-end SoCs. But are we expecting too much from the company’s chipmaking efforts? We very well might be. Mind you, the Exynos 2100 has been holding its own against the Snapdragon 888 much better than its predecessor fared against last year’s flagship silicon from Qualcomm. And yet many will agree how that still wasn’t enough. Who does Samsung really...
