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

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?

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 […]

I’m optimistic about Snapdragon 8 Elite’s thermals on the Galaxy S25 series

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is freakishly powerful for a mobile chip. While Apple had the lead for a while, Qualcomm has come out swinging over the last few years and its recent Snapdragon chips have offered stellar CPU and GPU performance while also being incredibly efficient. But with more power come more heating issues and […]

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

You must have heard by now: Samsung will not release Android 15 and One UI 7.0 for any Galaxy device in 2024. While a One UI 7.0 beta program will go live this year, the stable release will coincide with the launch of the Galaxy S25 lineup next year. To no one's surprise, fans didn't […]

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. […]

Samsung better be clear about its foldable plans next year

Love it or hate it, Samsung announced a new limited-edition foldable phone earlier today, and it is exclusive to a couple of markets. The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition will go on sale in Korea later this week, but we're hoping this surprise release won't have repercussions next year. Samsung's foldable phone launch strategy for […]

One UI 7 needs to bring order to this chaotic feature

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 […]

Is the Apple Vision Pro leaping ahead of Samsung’s foldable future?

One could argue that Apple has missed the boat on foldable phones. The company still hasn't shown any indication of making foldable iPhones, despite many rumors to the contrary. On the other hand, Samsung now commands a dominating position in the foldable segment even as plenty of other foldables have come on the market from […]

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 […]

One thing could go terribly wrong with Samsung’s Galaxy S strategy

As you may have heard, Samsung might change its Galaxy S flagship strategy in the coming years. 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. Samsung's strategy […]

Samsung cut the entry-level tab, now it should kill the base Galaxy S26

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab S10 series earlier this week and it quietly made a move that went unexplained by the company. The new tablet lineup only has two models – the Galaxy Tab S10+ and Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. You might recall that the company has been launching three models in its flagship tablet […]

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. A brand-new device from Samsung? “Sign me up” is what most of us were thinking, as the company kept doing all the right things to keep the flame burning until the big release. […]

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 […]
