Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories.

Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Samsung made a big deal about the Galaxy AI during the launch even earlier this year, and for all the right reasons. I mean, aside from Google, Samsung is the first mainstream brand to bring AI to smartphones, and obviously, the company was going to name its artificial intelligence. After the Galaxy Unpacked, the company also revealed that the AI features will come to older Samsung phones, starting with the Galaxy S23, and today, we have a list of features that are coming to the older devices. Galaxy S23 users get lucky as majority of Galaxy AI features are headed […]
Samsung is known for a lot of things, but marketing its smartphones and products is one thing that it does not do the way it should. Today, we found out that the Galaxy S24 series uses a newer and faster fingerprint sensor under the display. This should have been evident by the fact that in all the review videos we have seen, the one thing that was notable in all of those was how fast the fingerprint reader has become. Still, Samsung decided against marketing or talking about it during the Galaxy Unpacked--just like the company did not talk much […]

The Exynos 2400 is mass produced on Samsung’s improved 4LPP+ architecture, bringing in significant power-efficiency perks compared to the Korean giant’s earlier smartphone chipsets. Unfortunately, those advantages bring little benefit to the table if Samsung cannot improve its yields for its latest SoC, which, according to the latest rumor, is lower than TSMC’s. Still, it is still a massive improvement compared to what Samsung’s foundry was churning out the past couple of years. Exynos 2400 yields are rumored to be at 60 percent, whereas TSMC’s N4P output is said to be somewhere around 70 percent Between a year and 18 […]
MediaTek will challenge Qualcomm later this year with the Dimensity 9400, but even if it obtains orders from various Android phone makers, the Taiwanese firm’s biggest win will be securing Samsung as a client for future orders. According to the latest rumor, the Korean giant is being appeased with an exclusive discount, where MediaTek’s SoCs can be adopted in upcoming smartphone models. MediaTek chipsets might only be adopted on Samsung’s budget-focused smartphones; no flagship launches are in sight due to an agreement with Qualcomm Qualcomm has sufficient breathing room for now because a rumor shared by tipster Revegnus reveals that […]
It appears that some Galaxy S24 Ultra users are running into hardware issues with their phone cameras. Users have started reporting that the images on the screen go through a shift when they are switching between different lenses on the phone. The issue was first spotted by a Twitter user, and since its discovery, it has been confirmed as a hardware problem by the official Samsung Service Center. Although I did not receive my unit at the time of writing, I do know some people who are experiencing the same issue. The first batch of Galaxy S24 Ultra is suffering […]
Samsung has been proudly using the Snapdragon chipsets in some of the highest-end phones out on the market and for all the right reasons. Despite its own Exynos 2400, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is equipped exclusively with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and the same is the case with its foldable phones that are slated for later this year. Rejoice as your future Samsung Galaxy flagship phones will pack Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipsets as both companies enter into an agreement Now, Samsung and Qualcomm have entered a multi-year deal where the South Korean tech giant gets the fortune of using Snapdragon […]
If all things go accordingly, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will go official later this year in July or August. So far, there is not much information available about these devices aside from the fact that the company is looking to make some improvements to the overall design so it can fall in line with the modern approach that the company is going for. However, recently, information has started pointing towards how the company is also working on a low-cost Fold 6, and now a codename supports the previous claims. The affordable Galaxy Z […]
The idea of smart rings used to sound strange to me, but when I realized that a smart ring is just like a smartwatch minus the ability to tell the time and a screen, I quickly found myself interested in this wearable. There are already some options available in the market, but the upcoming Galaxy Ring is going to be the first from Samsung. As someone who is tied into the ecosystem, this makes a lot of sense. Galaxy Ring could become the first wearable that I would be interested in Now, the Galaxy Ring was formally introduced during the […]
We recently reported that Galaxy AI, the artificial intelligence driving the Galaxy S24 series, could usher into the paid era after the end of 2025. At that time, I was not sure how most users were going to take it or whether Samsung would revert its decision or not, but more information has surfaced indicating Samsung's seriousness. There is still some silver lining that we are going to talk about. Samsung could start charging for Galaxy AI, but the whole process is still in the decision-making phase T.M. Roh, the mobile business head at Samsung, has dropped a hint that […]
Samsung phones have become a lot easier to repair over the past couple of years. This is primarily due to the fact that there is a backlash from consumers who prefer having an easier time fixing their own phones and the fact that most regulatory authorities are actually forcing companies to make the repairing process easier. Now, the recently released Galaxy S24 shows the same initiative and takes it to the next level because, based on the latest information revealed, it appears that the phones are actually a lot easier to repair. The Galaxy S24 is shockingly easy to repair […]
Although Samsung may have perfected the design of the Galaxy S series, it still has to do some work with the foldable phones. There is no denying that modern-day foldable phones look a lot better than the ones that we saw in the early years. Samsung still has some progress to make, and based on some newly revealed surfaces, it appears that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 could be getting some major design improvements. Based on some new renders that have appeared thanks to collaboration as well as Samsung's patent filing, we have a reason to believe that the company […]
