For the past few months Samsung has steadily been releasing the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for many of its smartphones. It's done with most high-end devices. Many of the company's mid-range devices are compatible but so far Samsung has not provided the update roadmap for them. The Galaxy Note 3 Neo is one such device. Samsung […]
Samsung is guilty in the eyes of some tech sites and analysts of copying its rival company (who shall remain nameless) in crafting the Galaxy S6. There’s no denying, however, that the Galaxy S6 edge and the Note Edge are the company’s own innovations. What about TouchWiz? Is the new UI all-embracing of Google’s Material […]
Samsung has a plethora of phones and tablets in its lineup, and regularly releases firmware updates for various devices.

Only hours back did we report about the Galaxy Note 4 on the AT&T network getting the crucial Android Lollipop update, but it appears as though the Note 4 isn't the only phablet on the planet getting the sweets.

It doesn't bring any major changes […]

Today, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Tab Active for Australian […]
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge represent a stark change in Samsung's approach to designing its smartphones. Gone are the cheap-feeling (yet highly ergonomic) plastic builds that dominated the design of the company's previous flagships, and as a result, so have some useful features like a removable battery, expandable storage (though the use of […]
Malaysia, like the rest of the world, is waiting for the arrival of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. At the same time, however, the launch event and pre-order are as close to the real deal as Malaysia (or any other country, for that matter) can get until the devices hit the market worldwide next […]
Latest reports out of Korea suggest that Samsung could bring foldable smartphones to the market in 2016. Foldable displays have been an area of interest for Samsung.

Customers in the Philippines will be able to purchase this device two nano-SIM card slots in 32GB and 64GB models. No such variant of the Galaxy S6 edge has been developed yet. Previous reports have suggested that the dual-SIM […]
Samsung has often been criticized for filling up the software on its devices with bloatware which tends to negatively affect the performance. We exclusively reported long before Samsung officially unveiled the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge that both smartphones will have a relatively small amount of bloatware and as a result the overall […]
There’s no denying that Xiaomi has made its mark on the Asian consumer market. The company sold 18.7 million smartphones in 2013 and 61 million in 2014, with a well-received market in Xiaomi’s home country as the explanation behind the company’s success. Samsung has always been a manufacturer keen on providing something for everyone, and […]
If you’ve been keeping up with the news for some time, you’re aware of Microsoft’s lawsuit against Korean manufacturer Samsung.

This year’s Samsung smartphone and tablet […]
A rumor at the beginning of 2015 said that Samsung would bring Tizen to every product the company makes.
