Samsung's announcement that it would provide some smartphones with three generations of Android OS upgrades back in 2019 impressed many of us, and we were even happier to learn later on that Samsung was bumping the total number of major OS upgrades for its flagships and some mid-rangers to four, basically out-Android Google itself. The […]
As 5G networks continue to go live in more and more countries over the last year or so, Samsung has been making sure that consumers have the chance to pick up a 5G-enabled phone in pretty much all budget segments. However, getting 5G access on an affordable Galaxy phone has also meant giving up on […]
The base Galaxy S23, the Galaxy S23+, and the top-end Galaxy S23 Ultra have shown up multiple times on the Geekbench website over the last few weeks. As expected, those benchmark scores weren't exactly what you would expect from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, no doubt because Samsung is still working on optimizing its […]
Whenever Samsung releases a new software update for the Galaxy S20 or Galaxy S21 lineup, many people assume Samsung will include the Galaxy S20 FE or the Galaxy S21 FE in the rollout, only to find out their device doesn't get the same update as its non-Fan Edition model most of the time. Why is […]
Unlocked Galaxy S21 models in the USA received Android 13 and One UI 5.0 almost a month ago, but that update came with a slightly older security patch (it had the October patch instead of the November patch, for those wondering). Now, Samsung is rolling out another Android 13-based update for unlocked Galaxy S21 modes, […]
We revealed exclusive information today that the signature colors for the Galaxy S23/S23+ and the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be green and gold/pink gold. While we can't be completely sure about this info, it did get me thinking: which color would I like to see on the Galaxy S23 series? Well, the title already gave it […]
Password managers make it incredibly convenient to manage passwords for the insane number of sites, accounts and other services people use today. There are plenty of password manager apps and services out there, but very few of them give you as good of an experience as LastPass without taking any money. Sadly, it looks like […]
The Galaxy S22 series of phones was the first to receive the Android 13 and One UI 5.0 update, giving millions of owners of the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra some excellent new features to improve the user experience. Then, in the next couple of weeks (and still continuing to this day), Samsung updated many […]
Samsung's 2019 Galaxy S flagship lineup (not counting the Galaxy S10 Lite) is not eligible for the Android 13 and One UI 5.0 upgrade, but the devices continue to get fairly frequent security updates. The Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ received the December 2022 security update in quite a few countries in Europe […]
The Android 13 and One UI 5.0 update is rolling out to yet another budget Samsung smartphone as we near the end of 2022. Samsung has released the update for the Galaxy M12 in Russia and will hopefully expand availability to other markets in the next couple of weeks. Android 13 for the Galaxy M12 comes […]
2022 was a good year for Samsung fans who prefer Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips on the company's flagships. The Galaxy S22 series launched with a Snapdragon chip (the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1) in pretty much all regions other than Europe, and in 2023, Samsung could exclusively use a Snapdragon chip on the Galaxy S23 lineup, even […]
Leaks showing us renders of some of Samsung's 2023 phones have revealed that the company might be going for a more consistent design across its mid-range and flagship smartphones. The back is where the similarities are expected to be most noticeable. The flagship Galaxy S23 series and mid-rangers like the Galaxy A54 and the Galaxy […]
Samsung makes a lot of products in different segments, many of which work together to create an ecosystem that's hard to get out of once you've gotten into it. Samsung's Galaxy Buds series of wireless earbuds and the company's smartwatches are great examples of devices that work in tandem with Galaxy smartphones to improve your […]
Samsung was the first Android manufacturer to promise four years of Android OS upgrades for its smartphones and tablets. It was a move that is now inspiring other manufacturers, with OnePlus announcing a few weeks back that some of its upcoming devices will receive four Android OS upgrades and security patches for five years. And now, […]
The Galaxy S20 series received Android 13 and One UI 5.0 in early November, and it has gotten a couple of minor updates since then. The most recent one brought the December 2022 security patch to the Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra, and this week, yet another update is rolling out for the three […]
