Why I’m okay with official One UI 7.0 release being pushed to 2025

TM Roh certainly has the right to be upset with Samsung Foundry

Samsung Foundry has been trying very hard to compete against TSMC, the undisputed contract chip manufacturing leader, particularly on the advanced nodes. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year by top chip designers like Qualcomm, NVIDIA, AMD, and many more to have their chips made at foundries, since they don’t have their own. […]

Throughout the Samsung fan community, the most polarizing One UI element this year might be the quick panel. Samsung redesigned it with the release of One UI 6.0, and while I don't have a gripe with the new layout, I can see why some people dislike it, as it makes it a bit harder to […]

MediaTek could help Exynos find a crack in Snapdragon’s armor

Exynos has had a rough time in recent years. I don't hate Exynos, and I'm happy with how my Exynos 2400-powered Galaxy S24+ turned out, but I can understand why many Samsung fans might still be reluctant toward the in-house chip brand. As the old adage goes, “Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me […]

Rumor has it that the company will remove the base Galaxy S model from the premium lineup in 2026, which would most likely shine a brighter spotlight on the cheaper and now larger Galaxy FE series.

Did Samsung mess up the Galaxy Ring launch?

Anyone who followed Samsung throughout 2024 will likely agree that there was a generous amount of hype around the Galaxy Ring initially.

Apple’s camera cop-out is Samsung’s chance to crush the iPhone myth

Smartphone photography has improved considerably over the past decade. Even the most basic of smartphones can spit out decent images now because all of the heavy lifting is done by the camera software now. That's also the reason why smartphone photos look ultra-processed now. The results are a step beyond realistic and in the apparent […]

There could be a lot wrong with a rollable Galaxy phone

Although Samsung's display division has experimented for years with all sorts of ambitious but admittedly barely functional prototypes based on foldable and rollable display technology, Samsung's mobile division has taken things slowly. For five years, Samsung MX focused entirely on the now tried-and-tested Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip formulas. However, this approach to refining […]

Samsung’s losing the battle for India’s richest customers to Apple

India has long been one of Samsung's most prized markets. The company has jealously guarded its lead in the market from Chinese rivals. It suffered a terrible onslaught in the low-end and mid-range segments from both local and Chinese OEMs for over a decade, but Samsung was able to maneuver out of the storm by […]

Dear iPhone users: Welcome to 2010, Samsung’s been expecting you!

Of all the things I've taken for granted in my life, never did I think it would be the ability to pause a video recording on my smartphone. Until I found out that there's a massive chunk of people out there *cough* iPhone owners *cough* that don't have that option. While I've had my fair […]

The Galaxy AI feature that might convince me to get a Galaxy Z Fold

Sketch to Image is probably my favorite new Galaxy AI feature from the recent One UI 6.1.1 update. I got the latest firmware earlier this week, and so far, I have spent hours doodling in Sketch to Image and experimenting with the AI's capabilities. It's so fun that it makes me want to use a […]
