The company’s 90Hz OLED panels with Full HD resolution have been used in the recently announced ASUS ZenBook and VivoBook...

Galaxy S22 and S22+ might not use Samsung’s best 50MP camera sensor

We are still a few months away from the launch of the Galaxy S22 series. However, some details regarding Samsung’s upcoming high-end smartphones have already been leaked.

Android 12 adds eSIM support to the Galaxy S21 in the USA

Android 12 and One UI 4.0 for the Galaxy S21 series may be light on big new features, but it’s packed with more than 60 not-so-big ones that make the user experience a great deal better than it was on Android 11 and One UI 3.0. And, for US customers, the first One UI 4.0 beta that Samsung released this week brings a feature that has been available to Galaxy S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra users in other...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 one month review: Still amazing?

Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 2 was already a solid device, and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 brought all manner of upgrades and improvements that made it a no-brainer for anyone looking for a foldable phone with $1800 to spare. Or at least that’s what we thought when we first reviewed the phone. How is the Galaxy Z Fold 3 holding up now, a little over a month after we started using it? Is it still a phone we recommend?...

Apple’s ‘copied’ Samsung with the iPhone 13, but is that the whole story?

Apple launched the iPhone 13 series along with iOS 15 yesterday, and as usual, the event was peppered with marketing buzzwords and claims of “new” features debuting with the latest iPhone models. But the evolution of mobile phones isn’t quite as linear as Apple’s painting it to be. Apple is gaining inspiration from its rivals just as much as rivals are gaining inspiration from Apple every year. And...

Samsung takes potshots at the iPhone 13’s 120Hz screens

Samsung and Apple have traded blows for what seems to be decades now. More often than not, it is Samsung poking fun at Apple for removing key features and promptly doing the same a year or two later. This time around, the official Samsung U.S. Twitter handle poked fun at Apple for calling the 120Hz screen on its iPhone 13s a ‘new’ feature. The not-so-subtle jab by Samsung says, “We’ve been refreshing at 120Hz for a while now,” referring to the...

Galaxy A52s 5G review: A mid-range phone with flagship performance

The Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G are two of the finest mid-range phones ever from Samsung. But the global chip shortage seems to have played havoc with Samsung’s plans to keep selling the two handsets, which is evident by how they are out of stock in quite a few markets, and it seems that’s the reason why Samsung decided to make the Galaxy A52s 5G. The A52s 5G is the same device as the A52 5G...

New leak suggests the Exynos 2200 will pack serious firepower

Samsung’s Exynos 2200 chipset has made a few appearances on popular benchmarking platforms. Its Geekbench showing was quite underwhelming, though. Thankfully, it did a whole lot better on the graphics-intensive GFXBench. Now, a new leak spills the beans on the Exynos 2200’s clock speeds but leaves out a few key details. The leak also tells us that the Exynos 2200 sample found on Geekbench was running at reduced speeds. Prolific leaker Ice Universe...

Galaxy S22 Ultra rumored to support 45W charging

Charging speeds on smartphones are a hot topic… if all you’re looking at is smartphones made by Chinese manufacturers, who keep trying to one-up each other by introducing faster and faster charging on every new phone. Samsung doesn’t play that game, however, and in the last two years, the company has actually downgraded the charging speed specification on its flagship devices. Samsung introduced 45W charging with the Galaxy Note 10+ back in 2019...
