Samsung is almost making perfect sense of its product portfolio

Very few consumer electronics companies get close to Samsung's level regarding the amount of stuff it manufactures. Not for nothing has Samsung earned the label of a consumer electronics giant. However, being so prolific doesn't come without issues, and one downside that customers might have had to deal with first-hand over the years is confusion. […]

I used the Galaxy Buds Pro wireless earbuds for years, ever since I got them for free with my Galaxy S22+ pre-order. I must say they served me well. I had no issues with them — except I think touch controls are worthless, and nowadays, I'd much prefer an over-ear design. Regardless, these earbuds I […]
