Samsung had to make up for the fact that the Galaxy A53 does not have a headphone jack. So it gave away the Galaxy Buds Live for free to customers in the United States who pre-ordered the device. This pre-order deal was on offer until March 31. The Galaxy A53 has since hit the market […]
Samsung dropped firmware support for the Galaxy S9 series a few days ago, but the company's other 2018 flagship, i.e., the Galaxy Note 9, still has some life left in it.

The GOS debacle has somewhat scarred Samsung's reputation in the market, with all of its current-generation devices delisted from Geekbench. Initial reports suggested that it was directly responsible for reduced Galaxy S22 sales in South Korea. However, that doesn't seem to be the case, if a new report from Korea Herald is to be believed. […]
Samsung usually gets a lot of flak from consumers for using two different chipsets in its high-end smartphones, and this year was no different. The company even had to face some bad luck as neither the Exynos 2200 nor the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 showed considerable performance improvement. It is now being reported that the […]
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the most successful foldable phone on the market by far. Technically speaking, the Z Flip 3 is not nearly as ambitious as the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but thanks to its relatively low price and clever compact design, it's been selling like hotcakes for the past half a year. […]
Although Samsung ships its smartphones and tablets with the in-house Samsung Keyboard app, many users prefer using other keyboard apps like Gboard and SwiftKey. An issue related to Gboard has been irritating Galaxy users, though, and it hasn't been fixed yet. Changing the keypress volume level in Gboard's settings menu doesn't work as expected on […]
The Galaxy S21 FE may have arrived a bit too late, but at a reduced price, it's difficult to pass up. Samsung launched this device at the very start of this year even though it was expected to arrive in the second half of 2021. Our Galaxy S21 FE review points out that this device […]
Samsung's The Freestyle portable projector has been on my mind ever since the company unveiled it at CES 2022. I'm still considering buying one, and although I probably won't (for reasons I'll explain later), I'm still fighting the urge to order this small but versatile portable projector from Samsung. It's a portable TV that fits in […]
Samsung is pushing out Android 12 for another Galaxy device, this time, a rugged tablet. The Galaxy Tab Active 3 is now getting the Android 12 and One UI 4.1 firmware update in Europe. There's also a new security patch included with the update, though it's not the latest available. As of this writing, Android […]
Samsung has reportedly added Haesung Optics to its mobile camera component supply chain. Haesung Optics won't deliver its components to Samsung directly but to another Samsung supplier that will use them to assemble camera OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) actuators. Haesung Optics doesn't have the means to manufacture a complete OIS actuator yet, so it's only […]
The Galaxy Z Fold series represents the pinnacle of Samsung's mobile technologies. At least considering its premium price. But despite this, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 doesn't have the best cameras around. Far from it. Thankfully, Samsung is likely to fix this issue with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 later this year. […]
Samsung's Galaxy A, Galaxy M and Galaxy F line of smartphones are often interchangeable, as demonstrated by several release cycles. The Galaxy M13 5G, on the other hand, will breathe some new life into Samsung's entry-level offerings, according to some real-world images obtained by 9mobiles. Unlike budget-oriented offerings from Samsung (and several other OEMs), the Galaxy […]
Samsung has addressed the so-called ‘Dirty Pipe' security vulnerability discovered on Galaxy S22 devices earlier last month. Even though a few other online sources have recently misrepresented the changelog for the April 2022 security patch, Samsung has indeed addressed the CVE-2022-0847 vulnerability (a.k.a. Dirty Pipe) with its latest firmware release. CVE-2022-0847 ‘Dirty Pipe' was deemed […]
Samsung has demoted the long-lasting Galaxy S10 series from monthly security updates to quarterly releases. From now on, the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, and Galaxy S10+ will receive new security patches every three months instead of every month. The same is true for the mid-range Galaxy A50. The Galaxy S10 lineup was released in March […]
