Crazy fast charging speeds might indeed be a reality for the Galaxy S22

It took a long time for Samsung to leave behind the 15W fast charging standard it had been using for its devices for many years. The company introduced 25W and 45W super fast charging back in 2019, and while the latter wasn’t that much faster than the former, it was still nice to have, even if just for boasting rights. Unfortunately, Samsung decided to take a step back last year when it limited the Galaxy Note 20 lineup to 25W charging, a limitation...

Samsung began updating the Galaxy M51 with a new security patch last week, but the initial release happened in Russia and Ukraine. Now, the firmware update is reaching the Galaxy M51 in India, and the changelog represents more than the usual boring affair.

Apple wants LG stores in South Korea to sell iPhones around Unpacked

It looks like LG’s retirement from the mobile industry will spell bad news for Samsung on its home turf. It turns out that Apple could end up selling iPhones and other fruit-labeled products in South Korea through LG’s expansive retail infrastructure, after all, and thus becoming a much more significant threat to Samsung in the process. LG will formally finalize its exit from the mobile market later this month. LG Electronics will maintain its focus...

Bixby’s Galaxy Unpacked teasing is going to make Note fans cry

In case you missed today’s news, you can now ask Bixby about next month’s Galaxy Unpacked and get some rather curious answers in return. For example, inquiring about the contents of Samsung’s next big product event will have Bixby respond with scribbling sounds. At least on our end, that is.
