Samsung’s efforts to crush leaks are as weak as its update support in 2011

Those who have been Samsung users for long enough remember all too well what a mess its update support used to be. Some devices wouldn’t get any updates for months. Others would get one every month.

Biggest reason not to buy Microsoft Surface Duo over Samsung’s foldables

Instead of pursuing the foldable smartphone dream like Samsung or Huawei, Microsoft is going a different route. The Microsoft Surface Duo and the newly announced Surface Duo 2 simply join two displays together instead of having a single large display fold and unfold, and that means it’s not exactly a direct competitor to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup.
