This tiny product shows how arrogant Apple can be compared to Samsung

Apple is known for making decisions that only make sense to the company even if it has countless users wanting the exact opposite.

The custom software that Samsung ships with its phones has been overhauled many times over the past decade. It has been a bit of a learning experience for the company. Many found the earlier iterations to be too clunky and unnecessarily dense. Things have improved over the years, though, and we now have what's perhaps […]

The Galaxy S21 Ultra doesn’t feel special enough and it’s Samsung’s fault

I have been using the Galaxy S21 Ultra as my daily driver since the day it landed on my doorstep. I was looking forward to using this device a lot. That's largely due to the disappointment that I had with the Galaxy S20 Ultra. I knew that Samsung had made some meaningful improvements and that […]

The possibility of Samsung killing the Galaxy Note series hurts me

There have been rumors for some time now that Samsung may kill the Galaxy Note series. These rumors seemed more plausible as Samsung expanded its flagship offerings. In 2020 alone, the company has launched the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series in addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 2. If there's any device that […]

Samsung flagships with plastic are good, who cares about glass anyway?

It has been five years since Samsung launched the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. Few devices have brought such substantial change that the 2015 pair did.
