Looking at the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, it's easy to think that Samsung had always envisioned these devices with the virtually bezel less Infinity Display, with no physical home button or company logo to ruin the beautiful design. But every new smartphone goes through multiple iterations and usually has different prototypes before the final […]
The Gear S3 classic and the Gear S3 frontier, which were launched in the US last year with price tags of $349.99 each, have received an official price cut.

With the Gear S3, Samsung finally opened up its smartwatch platform to non-Galaxy Android devices, later bringing support for the watch to the iPhone. But the Gear S3 works best when paired with a Galaxy device, and Samsung has published a list today which reveals how its latest smartwatch works with Android devices from other […]
Samsung has reiterated multiple times that it's going to launch a new Galaxy Note flagship later this year. The new flagship will presumably be called the Galaxy Note 8 if Samsung decides to stick with the same brand name. Over the past couple of weeks, we've been hearing more rumors and reports about what we […]
We exclusively reported six months ago that Samsung was working on a new parental control app for Galaxy smartphones. We told you in detail what features the app was going to offer and what the interface would look like. Samsung has now officially launched its parental control application. The app is called Samsung Marshmallow. It's […]

Samsung is interested in the self-driving car industry and over the past couple of years, we've seen the company intensify its efforts to establish a footing in this industry. The company modified a race track that it owns in South Korea to test its autonomous car. It will now be able to do that on […]
Samsung spent a lot of time talking about the Bixby voice interface at the Galaxy S8 event in March. It claimed that the feature enables users to do everything they can on the smartphone by using voice commands instead of tapping on the display. However, it had to delay Bixby's launch even though the new […]
It has been a few weeks since the Galaxy Tab S3 was released after it was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona back in February. Samsung has now released the first proper firmware update for this device which brings the April security patch. Firmware version T820XXU1AQD6 is now being rolled out by […]
T-Mobile is the only major carrier in the United States that hasn't released the Android 7.0 Nougat update for the Galaxy S6 edge+ yet. Rivals Sprint, AT&T and Verizon have all followed through with the update so it's about time that Magenta released it as well. T-Mobile's @askdes has confirmed via Twitter that the carrier's […]
Want that tall, narrow display on your Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ to be able to show more content on-screen than it does right now? Well, there's a setting for that. You can change the screen density on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ (as well as other Samsung devices running Nougat) to increase (or […]
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ come with a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera that’s broadly similar to that of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge. However, Samsung has done some work on the software side to things improve image quality (using Multi Frame Processing) and ease of use (through a newer camera UI). The new camera app […]
Even though most Android smartphone makers moved on to on-screen navigation buttons, Samsung was reluctant in doing so because a physical home button was a part of its smartphone design philosophy for years. Now that the company has finally moved to on-screen buttons with the Galaxy S8 and S8+, it did so better than its […]
The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are yet to go on sale in the Indian market, but Samsung is taking a preemptive measure and is already rolling out an update in the country for fixing the display's red tint issue. The update is surprisingly large in size for one that only optimizes the display's color […]
The Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ feature large Infinity Displays with curved corners and edges. Samsung had to ditch its traditional physical home buttons to bring us such a beautiful smartphone design. The company has now shifted to on-screen navigation buttons (the on-screen home button is also pressure sensitive). There are multiple ways to […]
Samsung has barely addressed the reddish display tint issue of the Galaxy S8 and we're now hearing of a new issue that many Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ owners are facing. Apparently, some units are restarting on their own for no reason at all. Users who are facing this issue report that the handset restarts […]
We publish a decent amount of 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 with every post. But, we think we’ve come up with an ideal solution — a daily recap. So, without further ado, here’s […]
Samsung has started distributing an update in Turkey and the UK for the Galaxy S8 and in Germany and Turkey for Galaxy S8+ to patch a bug that resulted in some users noticing a “reddish tint” on their handset's display. The upgrade itself weighs in at 426MB and appears to be identical to the release the firm […]
It's something I've meant to write about for a few days, and I finally got around to penning down my thoughts on why we here at SamMobile might be more skeptical and critical of the new Galaxy S8 and S8+, and of Samsung devices in general. Well, to be honest, the reason is simple: We're a […]
