Why I have beef with Samsung’s hamburger menus

Why I have beef with Samsung’s hamburger menus

The hamburger button has been a shortcut to list-type menus in different operating systems and software applications since the '80s (via Wikipedia). Decades later, Android OS adopted the idea of the hamburger menu as a solution to UI design hurdles posed by small screens. And even today, many Android apps, including Samsung first-party apps, use […]

It brought substantial performance improvements over previous models and is the true successor to the Galaxy A52s, which previously held the title of the fastest and smoothest A-series Samsung phone. Excellent performance is […]

Galaxy Z Fold SE makes Fold 6 feel like it came from Samsung’s spare parts bin

Galaxy Z Fold SE makes Fold 6 feel like it came from Samsung’s spare parts bin

I've been a very vocal supporter of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series. I've been a convert since the day Samsung released the first foldable smartphone. No other phone, not even Samsung's otherwise very capable Galaxy S Ultra models, have come close to the user experience the Galaxy Z Fold phones have made possible for me. […]

Q-Symphony is one of the most genius Samsung ideas ever

Q-Symphony is one of the most genius Samsung ideas ever

Q-Symphony must be one of my favorite ideas and technologies Samsung came up with in recent years. I didn't think much of it initially, but now I think it's pure genius. It's the kind of technology that makes you wonder why nobody else thought about it before. Well, now Sony is copying it. What is […]

And it will continue to hold on to that title next year as well, until it is succeeded by the Galaxy A56. The Galaxy A55 has many amazing features, including the Exynos 1480, Samsung’s most powerful mid-range Exynos chipset […]

Hidden app store in One UI for Samsung TVs is unlike anything else

Hidden app store in One UI for Samsung TVs is unlike anything else

Samsung's recent Tizen 8-based One UI update for select smart TVs is insane. I never thought I'd see Samsung be so bold and experimental, but this One UI update for smart TVs proved me wrong. Why do I say this? One UI for TVs dismantles the original app store front-end and reinvents how users can […]

Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and Galaxy AI drew out the artist in me, no pun intended

Samsung introduced the Ultra model in its flagship tablet lineup back in 2022. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra brought all the qualities of Super AMOLED displays we have come to love over the years to a massive 14.6-inch panel that was an instant hit, particularly with those who have an artistic streak and loved the […]

Is a foundry spin-off the answer to Samsung’s $200 billion dollar problem?

Is a foundry spin-off the answer to Samsung’s $200 billion dollar problem?

Samsung Foundry was established to challenge TSMC's dominance in the contract chipmaking space but the division has remained unable to take any significant chunk of the market. The reported yield issues on the 3nm process aren't helping as major clients, including Qualcomm whose chips Samsung uses in its phones, have all opted for TSMC's tried […]

Will Samsung’s latest attempt at a cultural shift be another failure?

Will Samsung’s latest attempt at a cultural shift be another failure?

Samsung has been facing strong headwinds for a few years now. First, it was the supply glut in the memory market, which significantly reduced profits. That was followed by its inability to beat SK Hynix and become the frontrunner for HBM3E chips, potentially leading to billions in lost revenue. To make matters worse, Samsung Foundry […]
