Snapdragon 835 specs leak, could see Galaxy S8 landing at MWC 2017
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, the successor to the incremental Snapdragon 821, was first leaked by Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin (who called the end of Google's Nexus line long before the Pixels) and has now been confirmed by both Qualcomm and Samsung.

Galaxy Note 7 users are buying the Galaxy S7; now it’s time for Android Nougat
The number “7” has been said to be a number of completion, a number of perfection, a “lucky” number (hence Samsung's Project Lucky that brought us the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge this past March 11th), but unfortunately, the Korean giant ran into a disaster with the Galaxy Note 7. For users who felt a strong connection […]

ARTIK Cloud application for the Gear S2 adjusts lights, talks to non-Samsung devices
We reported earlier this summer that Samsung had released its ARTIK Cloud application for the Gear S2 in Google's Play Store, but a new video shows just how Samsung's new ARTIK Cloud application will work between the Gear S2 and non-Samsung devices. In the video, the ARTIK cloud app allows the user to control the lights […]

T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge receive October 2016 security patch
The T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge received Marshmallow in June (and the July security patch 3 months ago) which shows Samsung's commitment to one of its two-year-old veteran high-end smartphones. At the same time, however, while OEMs are busy committing to that 2-year window, they must also commit to an additional year of […]

LG has shamelessly copied this Galaxy Note 5 debut feature – and kept the name, too
LG doesn't have a good track record when it comes to being in Samsung's shadow. The company claims that its phones are terrific, but if you've seen the latest G5, which takes Google's Project Ara and tries to consumerize it (though unsuccessfully), you understand that when LG copies a company or “borrows” an idea, it […]

Lessons learned: the Galaxy Note 7 recall, Note rebranding, and a 2017 Samsung comeback
The Galaxy Note 7 has been recalled – again. I feel like this sentence permeates nearly every journalism piece I've read on the Web about the matter. And yet, it's a fact. The event itself is tragic, for innocent victims of exploding Note 7s as well as Samsung, the world's largest smartphone manufacturer who, prior to the recalls, […]

Galaxy C9 Pro photos leak, show new antenna design of its non-Pro sibling
Samsung has been busy working on its Galaxy C series once believed to be exclusive to China (the Galaxy C9's appearance at the FCC in the US puts an end to this theory, though), with the Korean giant having already launched the metal-clad Galaxy C5 and Galaxy C7 in China. The Galaxy C9, a smartphone to tower above […]

The next best thing: what you can expect to keep (and give up) in the Galaxy Note 7 to Galaxy S7 transition
I wrote a column some time ago on the Galaxy S7 edge and Galaxy Note 7 being more alike than ever, a column that was designed to challenge Note faithful on how they perceive the Galaxy S series in general. Sure, the Galaxy Note 7 has an S Pen that you won't find in the Galaxy […]

Samsung’s abandonment of Android Wear has Android Wear OEMs applauding
I wrote some months ago that Android Wear fans shouldn't get their hopes up about a 2016 Samsung Android Wear smartwatch, and I still stand by the statements I made then. What's new, though, is that it appears as if even Android Wear agrees with Samsung. Back 4 months ago, it seemed as though Samsung was rebelling […]
