[Poll] Should Samsung replace the Galaxy S22 with the Galaxy Note 22 next year?

Samsung has already confirmed that it won’t be launching the Galaxy Note 21 this year. This is disappointing for Galaxy Note fans who look forward to a new model every year. The ongoing chip shortage has been cited as one of the reasons why there’s no Galaxy Note 21.

Perhaps that’s why the company brought S Pen support to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will also have support for the S Pen. Those who love Samsung’s stylus still have options, even if the Galaxy Note 21 is missing.

With the chip shortage not ending anytime soon and Samsung’s high-end lineup as crowded as it already is, should the company do things a bit differently next year? It could launch the Galaxy Note 22 instead of the Galaxy S22 and then alternate between the two every year.

This would require a significant change to the company’s strategy. The Galaxy S series gets three new models every year that target the entire flagship price spectrum. The Galaxy Note series only gets two. It’s also historically been launched in the second half of the year. The Galaxy S devices are often the first Android flagships in the new year.

There’s absolutely no indication of Samsung even thinking about such a change but do you, as a Galaxy Note fan, feel that this would be the best way to ensure the survival of the series? Vote below and share you thoughts with us in the comments.

Samsung Smart Monitor now available worldwide in even more sizes

The Samsung Smart Monitor was launched in November last year. It’s unlike any monitor the company has launched before. Powered by Tizen, the Smart Monitor can double up as a TV. There are two models in the lineup, the Smart Monitor M5 and Smart Monitor M7.

Samsung made them both available initially in Canada, China and the United States. The M7 has a 32-inch display with 4K resolution. The M5 has a Full HD 27-inch panel. It has today announced the global availability of the Smart Monitor and a couple of new sizes.

Samsung Smart Monitor gets even better

Both of these monitors have a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 178-degree viewing angle, 250 nits peak brightness and HDR10 video playback capability. 10W stereo speakers are also integrated.

Powered by Tizen 5.5, the Smart Monitor can run apps like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, YouTube and more. It offers AirPlay 2, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 4.3, HDMI 2.0 ports and even a USB Type-C port on the M7.

A larger 43-inch model of the Smart Monitor M7 is now available. The M5 gets new 24-inch model that’s also offered in a new white color option. The Smart Monitor come with a solar cell-powered remote control.

The company has also bought over Samsung TV Plus to these monitors. It’s Samsung ad-supported free TV streaming service that provides access to hundreds of live channels and on-demand content. The Universal Guide feature will provide content recommendations based on user preferences on apps like Netflix and Prime Video.

Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa will now be available on the monitors as well alongside Bixby. Next month, the Remote Access feature will be updated to “PC on Screen” to allow for simple connectivity between the monitor and external PCs.

Samsung embarrasses iPhone 12 Pro Max cameras in new TV ads

Samsung has a habit of going after Apple in advertisements for its flagship phones, and the company is doing it again. Samsung US has come out with two short TV spots to tell everyone why they should buy the Galaxy S21 Ultra instead of the iPhone 12 Pro Max if they’re looking for the best camera performance, and Samsung has cleverly selected just the right scenarios to pull this off.

‘Your phone upgrade shouldn’t be a downgrade’ is Samsung’s new punchline

The first TV spot compares photos of a cheese sandwich captured by the S21 Ultra and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the former offers considerably higher detail thanks to its 108MP resolution and a more vivid image. But it’s the second ad that really shows why there’s no competition here. Samsung’s flagship is able to take an excellent 100x zoom shot of the moon while the iPhone fails miserably as it maxes out at 12x magnification.

To be fair, 12x isn’t enough for any smartphone when it comes to capturing pictures of the moon. But it’s worth mentioning that the iPhone 12 Pro Max is the absolute best of what Apple currently has to offer, so that kind of zoom performance is downright embarrassing in 2020/2021. Of course, we can say the same about the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung’s $2000 foldable that maxes out at 10x zoom, but that’s a discussion for another day.

Check out the two ads below.

Samsung Notes crosses a billion installs on the Google Play Store

The Samsung Notes app is one of the best apps developed in-house by Samsung for Galaxy smartphones and tablets, and it has now reached an impressive milestone on the Google Play Store. Samsung Notes recently crossed a billion installs (spotted by folks over at Android Police) on Android’s default app store, joining a couple of other Samsung apps that have achieved this feat, including Samsung Internet, Samsung Email, and Samsung Voice Recorder.

A billion installs, many more notes?

Despite being an important part of Samsung’s proprietary app lineup, Samsung Notes doesn’t come pre-installed on every Galaxy device. That’s because Notes is designed around the S Pen that you used to get exclusively on Galaxy Note devices and some tablets before Samsung brought support for its stylus to the Galaxy S series phones with the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

However, you can use it to make text notes, and there are plenty of other excellent features, like being able to import PDF files and write on them or adding voice notes that sync to your drawings and notations. All those features are now at the disposal of more than a billion Galaxy users, or at least a billion devices as that is what ultimately counts (some users have multiple devices, and an install on each of them counts towards Google Play’s total installs figure).

If you haven’t tried Samsung Notes out yet, well, you can fix that now by grabbing it from the Play Store or the Galaxy Store. You can also download the app from our APK archive.

New renders of Samsung’s first Fan Edition tablet show keyboard cover

Samsung’s first Fan Edition tablet is coming soon, as evidenced by the numerous appearances it has been making all around the internet recently. From spec and press render leaks to regulatory certification, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE has been through it all, and the only that’s remaining now is a look at the tablet in the flesh. While you will have to continue waiting for that, you can feast your eyes on yet another set of renders of the device that have leaked courtesy of Roland Quandt.

Like the renders we saw before, these show the Galaxy Tab S7 FE sitting in its Book Cover case, but we also get to see it in what is likely to be called the Book Cover Keyboard accessory. The S Pen is on full display as well. We also get to see all five case colors (and, as a result, all possible colors of the tablet itself) – black, blue, silver, green, and pink. Color variety is clearly something Samsung is taking seriously for its Fan Edition devices, as it is in line with what we saw for the Galaxy S20 FE that launched last year.

Unfortunately, it seems Samsung won’t be keeping things similar on the specifications front. While the Galaxy S20 FE shared most of the main Galaxy S20 lineup’s flagship features, the Galaxy Tab S7 FE is set to be a decidedly mid-range affair. It will keep the huge 12.4-inch screen and 10,090 mAh battery of the Galaxy Tab S7+, but will see downgrades in several other areas. For example, the screen will be of the LCD type and the Snapdragon 865 will be replaced by the Snapdragon 750G, which also powers the Galaxy A52 5G.

Speaking of 5G, the new ultra-fast wireless standard will be supported on the Galaxy Tab S7 FE, though an LTE variant will be on offer as well. The tablet is expected to launch sometime in June, so it shouldn’t be long before we get all the official details from Samsung. Until then, enjoy the leaks, and leave a comment and let us know if you’re looking forward to the Tab S7 FE!

[List] Galaxy devices that will be eligible for One UI 4.0 (Android 12) update

One UI 4.0 has yet to be officially confirmed, but unless Samsung decides to make drastic changes to the design philosophy around its software platform, then One UI 4.0 will be based on Android 12, and it will represent a major evolutionary step over One UI 3.5. The latter version is expected to debut in August with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.

One UI 4.0 will be Samsung’s ninth One UI version upgrade. As expected, some Galaxy phones and tablets will be eligible for this future Android 12-based firmware update, while others will be left behind. Furthermore, Android 12 will be the last major firmware update for some of those Galaxy devices, and they were labeled accordingly in the list below.

This is a comprehensive list of Galaxy phones and tablets that are expected to receive Android 12 together with One UI 4.0 at some point in the future, according to Samsung’s Android update policy.

As a reminder, Samsung is now offering three major Android OS updates to select Galaxy phones and tablets instead of two. This policy is valid for Galaxy devices that were released 2019 onwards with Android 9 or later. The list below accounts for this new firmware update policy.

Please note that the list isn’t final and could change in the future. We will keep it updated in the coming months as we get closer to the release of Android 12 and One UI 4.0.

Galaxy devices that should be getting Android 12 / One UI 4.0

Galaxy S series

Galaxy Note series

Galaxy Z series

Galaxy A series

Galaxy M series

Galaxy F series

Galaxy Xcover series

Galaxy Tab series
