Samsung believed enough in its AI-powered Circle to Search feature to promote it extensively at and after Unpacked.

Samsung’s product naming has a grammar problem

I’m a big fan of Samsung using proper nouns to label most of its home electronics. For instance, PC monitors names are no longer just a string of seemingly random letters and numbers. Instead, they belong to lineups named ‘Odyssey’ or ‘ViewFinity.’ It makes Samsung look better instead of coming across as a company that […]

SolarCell remote is great but costs premium TV buyers a metal finish

Samsung’s TV remotes went through a few evolutionary phases in recent years, and we seem to have arrived at a point of consistency across different TV lineups.

Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S series faces some of its toughest battles in major markets across North America and Europe.

Samsung should bring Google’s Find My Device integration to Galaxy SmartTags

The Galaxy SmartTag 2 is one of the best object location trackers around in terms of hardware and technology. It is compact, has a built-in key attachment ring, features UWB for ultra-precision finding, and lasts up to 500 days on a single charge.

Galaxy AI might just be the least disruptive implementation of AI

Earlier this year, Samsung released what it now calls its first AI phone, i.e., the Galaxy S24. It’s the company’s first handset with Galaxy AI, the latter of which is a term used for a suite of ‘Advanced Intelligence’ tools and features powered by on-device and cloud-based artificial intelligence. People have various opinions about Galaxy […]

Samsung’s making it a habit to reward its customers with software updates around major holidays.

However, the ones from Samsung are generally more feature-rich. For example, Samsung’s web browser runs smoother than Google Chrome and has more customization features. The […]

I wonder, how often has this […]

Two things I miss about my Galaxy S22+ after upgrading to S24+

It’s been a month since I upgraded from the Galaxy S22+ to Samsung’s new Galaxy S24+ flagship. I haven’t sold the S22+, nor do I intend to. The phone sits on my desk, and I’ve occasionally gone back to using it briefly to compare things between the old and the new. And I must say, […]

Galaxy S24+ is likely a better phone for you than the S24 Ultra

Here’s a hot take on the Galaxy S24 Ultra: It’s not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for the vast majority of people, and most prospective Samsung flagship buyers are probably better off picking the Galaxy S24+ instead. It is my opinion, but I have just cause to believe in it. I’m not making a […]
