Your WhatsApp account will soon work on all your Galaxy devices at the same time

WhatsApp is the world’s most popular messaging client. Despite the recent (and ongoing) controversy over its new privacy policy that will enable it to share more user data with Facebook, it will likely continue to be the most widely used messaging app for the foreseeable future. And soon, it will get a feature WhatsApp users have long asked for: the ability to use the same number and account on more than one device at a time. A user’s WhatsApp account...

The Galaxy A52’s battery life is seriously amazing

It’s 2021, and something happened this year that I never thought possible: I switched to a mid-range Galaxy phone and didn’t feel like I needed to switch back to a flagship Galaxy phone. Until last year, Samsung was simply keeping too many features exclusive to its flagship lineups. The mid-range devices, no matter how good they got, just couldn’t come close to providing the level of user experience you got on Samsung’s top-of-the-line handsets. I...

Galaxy A22 LTE vs 5G: Multimedia refinement vs raw performance and 5G

The Galaxy A32 5G is no longer Samsung’s most affordable 5G phone of the year. After months of leaks and rumors teasing the eventual launch of the Galaxy A22 5G, Samsung finally took the veil off its affordable 5G phone as well as the LTE variant earlier today.

Ready for some weirdo art and a Samsung story? Of course you are

Samsung is partnering with British auction (power)house Sotheby’s after someone over in London realized they’re a few TVs short for their upcoming exhibit. Also, just of the brand value at play.

We can confirm that the May 2021 security patch is now reaching its first variants of the Galaxy A71. A number of owners in Brazil were the first ones to get this particular firmware release, identified by the build version A715FXXU4BUE1.
