samsung (41)

Samsung just wrapped up its first unpacked event of the year and it happened weeks earlier than anybody could have expected, but no reason to complain because that means we have the galaxy s21 series.

 

Let's get into everything samsung announced and my first impressions of the phones. Samsung did the right thing right off the top. They cut the prices on the s20 line by two hundred dollars. That means we go to eight hundred dollars for the base model up to a thousand for the s21 plus and 1200 fo

Foldables might just be the next big thing in smartphones, but first-generation devices haven’t worked out so well to date. Today at Samsung Unpacked, the Galaxy Z Flip was the star of the show with its flip phone design. It’s gotten a lot of people on board with the idea of a foldable phone, but I think there are still some things that keep it from being ready for everyone.

To quickly recap the Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung’s second foldable is very different from the first. Where the Galaxy Fold

Ranging from $1,000 to $1,600, available March 6th

Samsung has announced its latest flagship phones: the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. Technically, Samsung is appending “5G” to the names of those phones, as each one will support 5G in the US and other select markets. They’ll be available on March 6th with prices ranging from $999.99 to $1,599.99, and preorders begin on February 21st.

EARLY VERDICT

The Samsung Galaxy A71 packs in a big 6.7-inch display, four rear cameras and a huge 4,500mAh battery at a price point which won't break the bank. It could well be a winning formula.

FOR

  • Big, colorful screen
  • Huge battery
  • Premium camera experience

AGAINST

  • No water resistance
  • No wireless charging

Samsung's renewed vigor in the mid-range mobile market continues, and with the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy A71 at CES 2020, it believes it's hit on exactly what co

Samsung didn’t skimp on the box — it’s one of the coolest packages I’ve seen. On the front sleeve, you’ll find the one and only Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. Take the sleeve off, and you’ll see his repaired helmet without the hood. This is definitely one of the mor

Samsung has just announced the Galaxy Note 10 and the Galaxy Note 10 Plus at its Unpacked event in Brooklyn. To put it simply, the leaks and rumors were all correct. The headphone jack is gone. The Galaxy Note 10 Plus does have a micro SD card slot (not the smaller Note 10). And it has plenty of new S Pen features.

But these days, we can't focus on the specs of a new smartphone. Virtually every flagship smartphone that has launched this year, has the same specs as the Galaxy Note 10 and

Samsung’s Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus have everything you’d want in a phone and more -- but is the asking price too high?

  • Top-of-the-line specs

Samsung’s dream is to beat Apple’s iPhone, and that’s why the Galaxy S8’s development codename was “dream.” However, no Galaxy S or Galaxy Note device captured the mind of buyers like the iPhone rival, no matter how hard Samsung tried.

But the Korean giant may have an ace up its sleeve, a smartphone unlike anything else available out there, iPhone included. It’s called Galaxy X, but not for the reasons you expect.

If you think Galaxy X is Samsung’s way of copying the iPhone X name sc

Remember the Samsung Galaxy Note 7? You know, the one that spontaneously caught fire and, in one case, even destroyed someone’s car? The refurbished version of the troubled phablet is expected to soon make a comeback under a different name — the Galaxy Note FE.

According to a report by Etnews, the smartphone will go on sale in South Korea on July 7. Samsung apparently wanted to release it at the end of this month but has decided to push back the date for a week. The reason for this is that it

After months of countless leaks and rumors, it was starting to feel like this day might never actually come. Believe it or not, however, it’s finally here: Samsung’s new Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are finally official. No more specs leaks, no more renders, no more spy shots on Weibo, no more dummy models being compared to rival smartphones, and no more guessing. Samsung on Wednesday finally took the wraps off of its next-generation Galaxy S flagship phones.

This is our best look yet at Samsung’s jet black Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+

When Apple’s new Jet Black finish quickly became the most talked-about and sought-after color for Apple’s new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, it became fairly apparent that Samsung would eventually ape it. Well, as it turned out, Samsung didn’t take very long at all to follow Apple’s lead; the company released a Jet Black version — excuse us, “Black Pearl” version — of its Galaxy S7 in

Samsung could introduce its upcoming Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge phones to the world as soon as March 29, according to Evan Blass, a tech writer also known for reliably leaking upcoming products under his Twitter handle @evleaks.

The two new flagship phones could feature larger screen sizes than even the supersize 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 7 did (before Samsung recalled it for catching fire). The S8 could come with a 5.8-inch display and the Edge a 6.2-inch whopper -- screens that could cover nearl
