Samsung just needs to keep doing what it’s doing to absolutely crush rivals
Samsung knows a thing or two about making smartphones. The company has been doing it for a very long time. It may not have been the first to start making Android-powered smartphones but it has since become the manufacturer that defines what an Android smartphone can be. From old school flip phones to sliders, modern […]

Why Samsung might want to pause the Exynos project
It feels as though Samsung's Exynos chipset division is digging itself into a deeper hole with every new SoC it develops. The Exynos 2200 was perhaps an even bigger disappointment than the Exynos 2100 despite the partnership with AMD, so maybe it's time for Samsung to step away for a while and go back to […]

Samsung Galaxy flagships losing to Apple’s iPhone seems inevitable
Samsung's Galaxy S22 Ultra is doing relatively well. It was the most successful Android smartphone in April, but it was the only Samsung flagship to reach the top 10. And although the Korean tech giant leads the smartphone market in terms of total shipments, Apple is the clear winner in the flagship segment. Samsung is […]

Samsung doesn’t seem to care about its most loyal customers anymore
Customer loyalty is very difficult to achieve. A business has to do a lot of things right so that it can keep them coming back over and over again. This is a challenge that unites all businesses, regardless of the industry they're in. Samsung has been incredible at igniting loyalty in its customers. It's a […]

Why Samsung’s insecurities about its foldables bother me
We discussed recently how Samsung's foldable phone buyers are treated like second-class customers. It's doing a less than stellar job with customer support for these devices, particularly for repairs. All of Samsung's foldable smartphones come with a pre-applied screen protector on the foldable display. Customers are actively discouraged from replacing the protector themselves. This screen […]

Goodbye Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, hello there, Galaxy Z Fold 3!
After using the Galaxy S22 Ultra for three months, I've decided to switch back to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 due to several reasons. I was hardly able to contain my glee as I took my Galaxy Z Fold 3 out of its resting place while saying “Hello There” to the device in my best […]

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 might fail if Samsung won’t fix its cameras
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the most successful foldable phone on the market by far. Technically speaking, the Z Flip 3 is not nearly as ambitious as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but thanks to its relatively low price and clever compact design, it's been selling like hotcakes for the past half a year. […]

Samsung delivered the worst Exynos flagship in recent times
Exynos sucks, Snapdragon rules. That’s pretty much been the theme these last couple of years when it comes to the Exynos vs Snapdragon debate on Samsung’s flagship phones. While last year’s Exynos 2100 that powered the Galaxy S21 series was pretty good, Samsung did enough damage with the Galaxy S20’s Exynos 990 that the “Exynos […]

Chinese smartphone design crashes and burns in pursuit of Samsung
The Chinese are ruthlessly competing in every industry. Electronics manufacturers are particularly aggressive. They want to show the world that not only can they match the market leaders on quality but that they can do it cheaper. They have made progress. Chinese smartphone manufacturers have been able to shake off the stigma attached to their […]

Samsung’s S Pen should be an accessory instead of sitting inside the phone
The S Pen is no longer a Galaxy Note feature. Samsung introduced S Pen support to the Galaxy S and Galaxy Z Fold lineups last year, and the company put the final nail in the Galaxy Note coffin this year with the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which not only supports the S Pen but also has […]

Samsung has more Android to offer than Google itself and that’s mega
Can you imagine a company out-Androiding Google, the company that owns Android? Okay, out-Androiding might not be a word, but you get the idea. The expectation would be that only Google would offer the best possible Android upgrade support on its Pixel smartphones. It would make perfect sense. The Pixel is its own line of […]

Sorry Apple, your iPhone 14 isn’t as important as the Galaxy Z Flip 4
Samsung recently reported its quarterly earnings and the numbers showed how big of an impact its foldable smartphones have had on the company's profits. There's no denying the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 have turned out to be big hits. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 in particular has […]

The pandemic stopped Samsung from becoming Apple’s worst nightmare
Apple and Samsung have been at the top of their game for years. Samsung remains the world's leading smartphone vendor. Nobody sells as many devices as the Korean giant does. It's an impressive achievement when you consider that there's no shortage of Android manufacturers. Apple has a unique advantage because of its OS and ecosystem. […]

Samsung’s competitors can’t help but be jealous of its Android 12 rollout
How Samsung released major OS upgrades used to be quite predictable. The latest Galaxy S series would be the first to get the new update. It would then be followed by the Galaxy Note lineup. The relatively new Galaxy Z series was similarly prioritized. The waiting game would then begin for those who owned outdated […]

Samsung’s new Galaxy S21 FE is overpriced
Samsung has scheduled the Galaxy S21 FE to go on sale next week for the starting price of €749 / $699 / £699. At first glance, this is a fair price, as it didn't go up or down since 2020 when Samsung introduced the Galaxy S20 FE 5G. However, upon closer inspection, we're inclined to […]
