The Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against Qualcomm earlier this year over what it believes to be the chipmaker's anti-competitive behavior. Qualcomm feels that there are no solid grounds for the case and has thus requested the court to dismiss the agency's case. The FTC is now trying to establish before the court that […]
The second largest mobile carrier in the United States has made no fuss of the fact that it's now selling the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017). It succeeds the equally low-end Galaxy J3 from last year. It makes sense why AT&T didn't bother making an announcement. The Galaxy J3 is the entry-level handset in Samsung's budget […]
If a new leak is to be believed, Samsung is going to launch another mid-range smartphone in India soon. The company apparently has a new device called the Galaxy J7 Max in the pipeline. The leak suggests that it's going to be positioned in the mid-range segment of the market against popular options from rivals […]
We publish quite a few stories on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the majority of news breaks during our European hours of operation, which makes it difficult for our readers in the US (and other regions) to keep up. However, we think we’ve come up with a fantastic solution — a daily recap. Here’s what happened today. Business Samsung creates a new […]
Samsung announced the Z4, the fourth commercial Tizen smartphone, earlier today. The Z4 is humble on specs, and perhaps its only notable feature is that it runs Tizen 3.0 out of the box. Samsung has been making quite a few promises with Tizen but has been rather slow at releasing newer versions of the OS, […]
We reported yesterday that T-Mobile might soon announce a Buy One Get One Free deal for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The carrier has made the official announcement today. Linking it with Mother's Day in the United States, the carrier is now allowing customers to buy one Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ and get […]
Samsung's semiconductor business has proven to be a cash cow for the company. We've seen just how much it has contributed to the company's bottom line over the past few quarters. In a bid to further boost revenues from this business, Samsung today announced that it has created a new division within the semiconductor business […]
We had been hearing for a few months now that Samsung had a new Tizen-powered smartphone in the pipeline. The company officially announced the smartphone today. While it's not the sort of high-end Tizen flagship that Spreadtrum is hoping for, the Samsung Z4 is certainly a step up from its predecessors. Samsung confirmed today that […]
If you're in the market for a smartwatch, but aren't fussed about having the latest one, you'll probably be pleased to hear that you can pick up a Gear S2 for just $179.99 (49% off). Like its successor, the Gear S2 sports an accurate health tracking feature and has 4GB of on board storage, which […]
Alongside the Samsung Z4, Samsung took the wraps off a new accessory called Tizen Check, a cost-effective solution for detecting and monitoring diabetes. Just like traditional methods, users need to deposit a spot of blood onto a strip that mounted on the back of their smartphone, then the companion application will use the handset's camera and […]
Have your shiny new Galaxy S8 or S8+ all set up and wondering if there is a way to swap those phone and camera shortcuts on the lockscreen with a shortcut to other apps? There most certainly is. It's been an option on all Samsung devices in recent years, and it's present on the company's newest […]
Samsung has a tradition of shaking up the top management of the company at the end of every year to rotate talent across the company's various business divisions. This exercise normally takes place in December every year but it had to be delayed last year due to the various legal troubles that Samsung was involved […]

Samsung is expected to launch the new Galaxy J series in the coming months. It has been over a year since the Galaxy J (2016) series was released so it's about time that Samsung followed up with the new lineup. Previous reports suggested that only the Galaxy J5 (2017) and Galaxy J7 (2017) will be […]
Two months ago, Samsung's first Tizen 3.0-powered smartphone — the Samsung Z4 — passed through the FCC, then a couple of weeks later it was certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, leading us to believe that its release was imminent. Strangely, chatter died down shortly after, but was brought back to life when a copy of […]
Samsung is yet to confirm when it's going to release the refurbished Galaxy Note 7. It announced a few weeks back that refurbished units of the ill-fated flagship will be released in select markets soon. The markets may include South Korea and China. Listings for the refurbished Galaxy Note 7 have already started popping up […]
We reported two weeks ago that Samsung was going to launch the Galaxy S8+ with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage in Hong Kong soon. Samsung is only selling this variant of its flagship handset in select markets and the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong is one of them. The 6GB Galaxy S8+ has been […]
It's common knowledge that smartphones charge faster if they're left sitting idle. Using a phone while it's charging won't get you the fastest charging times possible, and with Samsung devices, this holds even more weight. As Phandroid points out, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will not charge fast when the phone is actively used […]
T-Mobile may be gearing up to launch a Buy One Get One Free deal for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. A post on Reddit has outed the details of this deal that is likely going to go live tomorrow. Carrier deals normally have several conditions attached so customers will certainly have to be mindful […]
We exclusively reported last year that Samsung was working on a new high-end flip phone for China. Several months later, Samsung launched the W2017 in China. That's the only country this smartphone is available in right now but it appears that Samsung might be gearing up to launch it in South Korea as well. A […]
