TikTok artists, Samsung and Billboard want Charli XCX to be your mentor

Samsung is partnering with Billboard — the American music and entertainment magazine — to create a first-of-its-kind competition that leverages TikTok to “find the next unsigned superstar.” The concept is not entirely new, as a similar online competition through TikTok was launched by Samsung Australia in partnership with Amplify earlier this summer. This time, however, Samsung is teaming up with...

Does Samsung care that it doesn’t have enough devices to sell anymore?

The past two years have been unusual, to say the least. The world literally shut down early last year as the COVID-19 pandemic got out of control. Stepping out of the house became the difference between life and death. Many businesses couldn’t recover from the economic fallout and countless people lost their jobs. Even some of the world’s top companies weren’t immune to the devastating effects of the pandemic. In particular, it upended supply chains...

Galaxy A52s 5G is available in Brazil in two color options starting now

Galaxy Buds Pro cost less than Galaxy Buds 2 with this limited-time deal!

The Galaxy Buds 2 earbuds are Samsung’s latest, but they’re not necessarily top of the line. Make no mistake; they are great for the $150 price tag, but the slightly more expensive Galaxy Buds Pro have one extra feature you might not want to miss out on, namely 360-degree spatial audio powered by Dolby Head Tracking Technology. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend extra to buy the Galaxy Buds Pro today....

If you’re in India, stop! Don’t buy the Galaxy A52s 5G just yet

The Galaxy A52s 5G is an excellent phone. With the Snapdragon 778G under the hood, the A52s 5G is Samsung’s most powerful mid-range phone yet, and it combines all that power with all the features that make the Galaxy A52 and A52 5G two of the best mid-range Samsung phones ever. But, if you’re an Indian customer, I would advise you not to buy the Galaxy A52s 5G just yet and wait for the Galaxy M52 5G to go fully official. The reason is simple:...

Snapdragon Galaxy S22 loses to Exynos model in early benchmark

The upcoming Galaxy S22 seemingly got benchmarked online again, and the Qualcomm-powered variant did the honors this time around. The Galaxy S22+ equipped with the Exynos 2200 chipset popped up in benchmarks last week, and it turns out that the Snapdragon model wasn’t far behind. The base Galaxy S22 variant is listed at Geekbench with a Snapdragon 895 chipset in tow and 8GB of RAM. The chipset has...

New Galaxy Z Fold 3 drop test breaks our hearts, but not the phone

There’s nothing quite like destroying an $1,800 phone to get the Internet going. Cue this new drop test video from PhoneBuff starring the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and a lot of free-falling. Be warned: it’s going to make you nauseous, especially if you happen to own Samsung’s newest flagship. On the bright side, the video re-confirms what previous durability tests already implied: the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is a seriously impressive engineering feat. Not least...

Samsung switching to 50MP cameras for its cheap Galaxy A phones?

Samsung is expected to make 5G smartphones cheaper than ever before with the Galaxy A13 5G. We first came to know the Galaxy A13 5G is in development back in late August, but details on its specifications were non-existent at the time. That’s no longer the case thanks to a report from GalaxyClub. The Galaxy A13 5G reportedly has a 50MP main camera sensor, which is rather interesting. We’ve seen either 48MP or 64MP rear cameras on Samsung’s mid-range...

Telegram’s feature creep continues with the latest update

After gaining lots of new users ever since WhatsApp’s new privacy policy created havoc in the instant messaging app market, Telegram is doing all it can to make sure those users stick with it by adding new features to the app pretty much every month.

Samsung might end up producing Pfizer’s COVID vaccines

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is in the U.S. this week. And while his travel plans largely revolve around the UN General Assembly, Korean media report Moon’s itinerary also includes a meeting with Albert Bourlar, the CEO of Pfizer. That would be one of the world’s top suppliers of COVID-19 vaccines. Back in May, Moon and U.S. President Biden reached a joint vaccine development agreement between the two countries. One that’s expected to be detailed...

Samsung’s self-owning Galaxy M series phone now coming on September 28

Samsung had revealed last week that it would introduce the Galaxy M52 5G on September 19, but it appears that the launch has been delayed. The smartphone wasn’t launched in India yesterday. The phone’s teaser page on Amazon’s website now mentions that the Galaxy M52 5G will be unveiled on September 28. The Galaxy M52 5G is quite similar to the Galaxy A52s 5G, but it will probably feature a lower price tag and be a better value proposition as a result....
