Galaxy Unpacked in Soul was an exciting event for Samsung fans, particularly Galaxy foldable, Android tablet, and Watch enthusiasts. But if there's one thing oddly missing from the announcement, it's a special edition foldable phone developed in partnership with a fashion brand. Somewhat disappointing on the face of it; however, in retrospect, Samsung may have […]
Twitter, or the social media platform we're now supposed to call “X,” is going through more changes beyond the rebranding Elon Musk initiated last month. The latest change concerns Twitter / X Blue subscribers and something else X has been working on for a few months, namely ID verification. First things first, Twitter Blue – […]
A few SamMobile team members had the great opportunity to experience last week's Galaxy Unpacked event live at COEX in Seoul. But it was more than that. Aside from seeing Samsung's latest devices live on stage, we visited many wonderful places in Korea, including the Samsung Innovation Museum and the Samsung Digital City, which left […]
Samsung Display unveiled its QD-OLED display technology last year, and earlier this year, the company launched its second-generation QD-OLED panels with higher brightness.

There were rumors about Samsung's fifth-generation foldable phones getting dust resistance. However, that information turned out to be untrue. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Galaxy Z Fold 5 are still rated IPX8, which means water resistance. But that doesn't mean Samsung isn't working on bringing dust resistance to its foldable phones. Dust-resistant Galaxy […]
Earlier this year, Samsung did something interesting. It launched the Galaxy S23 series that exclusively uses Snapdragon chips. In the past, the company has always launched two versions of its Galaxy S series phones, one that uses Exynos chips and the other that uses Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. Next year, though, it is expected to bring […]
Early this year, I wrote a scathing opinion over Samsung’s decision to once again hold the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco. It's a city that’s far from Europe and very far from Samsung’s home country of South Korea. I wanted Samsung to switch things up a bit as it has been years since Samsung […]
Samsung's flagship 98-inch 8K TV launched this year is the QNC990. The TV is priced at around $39,000 and is available in China and South Korea. It has now been revealed that the TV uses a display panel made by TCL's CSOT (China Star Optoelectronics Technology). TCL revealed (via DisplaySpecifications) that its CSOT division is […]

Samsung is the world's biggest smartphone OLED panel maker, and almost all brands, including Apple, use its display panels. Since Apple switched to OLED screens for iPhones, Samsung Display has been supplying OLED panels to the company. The South Korean firm seems to have started making OLED panels for the iPhone 15. According to a […]
Samsung is ready to launch one more mid-range smartphone in India. This time, it is launching a rebadged version of the Galaxy M34 5G that was launched in the country a few weeks ago. And the Galaxy M34 5G is itself a tweaked version of the Galaxy A34 5G that debuted earlier this year. The […]
Unless you have been living under a rock, you are likely aware that Samsung had a Galaxy Unpacked event on July 26. This event had it all: we got to see new foldables, tablets, and smartwatches, all of which go on sale on August 11 in most markets, with Samsung offering the option to pre-order […]

Samsung launched a treasure trove of new devices last week but new earbuds were not on the list. This means that you can stretch the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for some time before there's a successor on the horizon. If you've not picked on up as yet, or have been waiting for the price to […]
Although the new Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 run One UI 5.1.1 out of the box, Samsung is also testing the firmware for older devices through a beta program. The company will bring One UI 5.1.1 to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Tab S8 series, at the very least, and […]
The Galaxy S23 FE is a phone that's coming a little too late, with Samsung cancelling a Fan Edition device last year because the previous one, the Galaxy S21 FE, was also delayed and ended up launching in 2022 instead of 2021. But the Galaxy S23 FE is still rather heavily anticipated by a lot […]
As you may have heard, Samsung developed a unique experience for the Galaxy Z Flip 5 cover screen based on Widgets. It's a neat idea, but one that comes with a downside. Not every app has a Widget for the 3.4-inch Flex Window, and the cover screen doesn't support every app. And because of this, […]
Today, Samsung announced its participation in the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program, also known as the Internet of Things Labeling Initiative. The program, initiated by the Biden Administration and Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Neuberger, aims to provide smart device customers with clear information about the security of the products they intend to buy. The […]
Update: Samsung has finally offered a reason why it disabled the high-bitrate 8K video recording feature on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. In the Samsung Members forum, the person who is in charge of camera development revealed that the High Bitrate Videos feature consumed a lot of resources (memory and processing). So, the company decided to […]
